DRINKING, FEEDING & BREATHING

Three of the basic needs of all animal life are:
b]. food
c]. oxygen

  • Water is vital to almost all life forms, especially ruminants.
  • Food supplies the essential building blocks for growth, repair and reproduction.
  • It also provides energy for chemical reactions in the body, and for the performance of work.
  • To release this energy, sugars and fats are 'burned' - a process that demands a supply of oxygen.
Oxygen is free and abundant so we need to focus on food/nutrition and what influences it.
