The aim of the course is to enable SSP students to have a specific deepening of their knowledge in the field of bovine nutrition. Teaching will focus on the specific use of nutrients through symbiotic microflora and nutrient sources from bulky feed, concentrated feed and ruminal microorganisms. Essential nutritional factors and their influence by feed technologies. Interactions of nutrients during storage and preservation and influence of such complexes on the qualitative aspects of life and production of cattle. Development of cattle herding systems. Mineral nutrients and biologically active substances. Digestibility of nutrients and factors that affect it. Modern methods of feed preservation, their treatment and biotechnology. Balance of feedingstuffs on the holding. Influence of nutrition and feeding on the economy of breeding meat and dairy herds.
Gaining a deeper knowledge of animal nutrition; nutrient and energy needs, feed assessment systems and the use of feed additives in relation to metabolic disorders. They will acquire competencies to assess ecological aspects, the impact of nutrition on animal health and to assess the impact of nutrition on food quality. The course gives students the ability to think and decide professionally and competently, to use software for optimizing feed diets, including counseling.
