Course Learning Outcomes
| Order | Course Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|
| LO01 | The aim of this course is to provide the students with an overview of forage and co-products or by-products using in ruminant diet for sustainability. The students will know changes in nutrient content of feeds and how to make succesfull ruminant production in extrem climatic conditions. |
| LO02 | Students should be able to explain the rumen environment, physiology and metabolic pathways |
| LO03 | Students should be able to explain the different systems of energy and protein systems |
| LO04 | Students should be able to explain environmental impact of ruminant production and sustainable ruminant feeding |
