                   •     the digestion and metabolism of nutrients – how animals obtain and utilise nutrients from foods 
                   •     quantifying the nutrients supplied by foods – digestibility, energy and protein values 
                   •     the nutrient requirements of animals – maintenance and production                                                                                        Mor    McDonald   Edw
                   •     a description of the foods commonly given to animals – their nutrient content and factors 
                         affecting their use                                                                                                                                      gan   Sinclair
