ANIMALS CARE and FEEDING

FOOD AND DIET

Pet nutrition

There are words selected from text you have to read. Give a brief outline of its content.

feeding - кормление

nutrition - питание

incorrect feeding – неправильное питание

fertilization - обогащение

interaction of substance – обмен веществ

full feeding – полноценное питание

to schedule diet – соблюдать диету

commercial food – готовая еда

to require - требовать

omnivorous - всеядный

to get mineral – получать минералы

 

Feeding is an important factor in cats' and dog's life. A lot of research has been done to determine the nutrient needs of dogs and cats. In fact, probably more is known about pet nutrition than human nutrition.

Incorrect feeding of a growing little one affects body weight, height and constitution of an animal. If the feeding is incorrect, our pets can develop various serious diseases. Unbalanced feeding can also reduce fertilization ability. Clever owner organizes feeding of domestic animals cor­rectly, regulates the amount of food in accordance with their physiological needs. Feeding must be full (that is, should take into account the quality of nutrition), well-balanced (that is, should consider the interaction of certain substances in food and in the organism) and rational (should consider correct consumption of forage sources when scheduling a diet).

Most pet owners today feed their pets on commercial foods which are well-formulated and have no nutritional defi­ciencies. It is difficult to prepare a homemade diet that con­tains all the nutrients the animal requires so in most cases it is easier and safer to feed a commercial food.

In general both cats and dogs are omnivorous. They can eat meat, fish, milk, vegetable and grassy food. From time to time they eat grass or houseplants. In this way they get minerals and vitamins.
