At the end of this course, students will (1) be able to match feed resources to the physiological needs of horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, deer, reindeer, birds, reptiles, and a variety of other animals found at home, in zoos, rehabilitation centers, on ranches and farms; (2) understand the intellectual processes by which a successful, science-based feeding strategy should be developed for animals without a history of domestication; and (3) understand the evolutionary and physiological basis for some of the diversity in nutritional strategies and toxicological vulnerabilities found among animals.
