Description Nutrition is the process of providing nourishment to
the living organism for its healthy upkeep, growth and
reproduction. Nutrient substances for this purpose are
provided by food. An individuals nutritional status is
dependent on the provision of sufficient nutrient substances,
and good utilization of these nutrients. Poor .status of
nutrition may be caused by eating food that is inadequate in
amount or kind or due to failure in assimilation and utilization
of nutrients from the ingested food. The chief function
of food is to supply nutrient material to meet the physiological
needs of the organisms. such as to supply energy. to build
and maintain the cells and tissues, and to regulate body
processes. In general, there are two types of nutrients - energy
nutrients (proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates) and non-energy
nutrients (vitamins and minerals). Among the energy nutrients.
carbohydrates and lipids form chief sources of energy, but
protein, primarily, is utilized for growth. In formulated
feeds both energy nutrients and non-energy nutrient. should be
found in adequate levels and in balanced proportions.
