Goals To educate specialists who have knowledge about the principles and techniques of rations for farms and feed manufactures and the allowances of feedstuffs in various rations and who formulate rations for different animal species with different ages, especially for poultry and ruminant rations.
Course Content The description of ration, balanced rations and feeding standards
Learning Outcomes 1) The formulations of rations with using feedstuffs in farms and feed plants for different animal species with different ages
2) The knowledge about how the energy and nutrients requirements of animals can be calculated or where the requirements can be found.
3) To balance the levels of feedstuffs and feed additives in rations
4) To formulate rations according to the Feed Laws and Regulations
5) To understand the importance of computer in ration formulation Since self-confidence of the students is increased by transformation of reliable and correct information, they will be able to adapt new trends and developments in their job.
