| Course objective : | General objectives:
The lectures of "Nutrition and feeding of domestic animals" (1rst and 2nd years, and clinical training) aim to develop the following competence "Conceive, formulate and evaluate the effect of feeding plans on health and performances of healthy animals, on the quality of animal productions in livestock, and on health or sick animals seen in veterinary practice".
In the first year, the lectures present general nutrition. General nutrition course provides a foundation in nutrients, feeds and prepares students to apply nutrition principles. During the second year, practical diet and feeding plans are explained in the following species: cattle, horses and companion animals. Finally, during the clinical training, the objective is to transfer knowledge (theory) and technical know-how in high-order skills as communication with the owner to obtain a complete diet history, the study and analysis of an existing feeding plan, the formulation of a balanced diet.
In conclusion, the teaching of nutrition is organized in a hierarchy, and is provided between prerequisite courses (basic science knowledge : physiology, anatomy, biochemistry) and clinical training.
