Animals need a healthy well-balanced diet in the same way that humans do. This course will help to ensure that the animals in your care have the appropriate nutritional mix in their diets.
Have you ever wondered:
How much an animal needs to eat?
What foods they should be fed?
How much exercise they require?
If so, this course is a great way to get answers to your questions.
This self-guided course lets you work at your own pace, without deadlines or cut off periods. It also includes optional activities that are designed to enhance the learning experience and deepen your understanding of animal feeding.
It will teach you the skills you need to evaluate feeding, and to select the right feed for digestibility and nutritional content for a range of different animal species.
The course will benefit farmers and pet owners in caring for their animals, or those who work with animals in another context (e.g. in animal rescue, animal health care, a zoo, or pet shop).
