Document Summary
Life cycle - continuous development and growth from birth of one generation to the birth of the next generation. Neonate - newborn living off mom"s milk. Management and nutrition - humans may need to supply heat. Glucose is a required energy source for brain. Requirements of energy, amino acids, vitamins, minerals per unit of body mass are higher for younger or smaller animals. Galactose is converted back to glucose for the neonate to use. Wet, highly digestible, warm drier, highly variable nutrients, poorer quality, less moisture, cold (starch and fibers and different fats) Enzymes from the mouth, stomach, intestines and pancreas. Proteins - coded for by genes in animals dna. Can damage digestive tract if weaning doesn"t go well/if plant diet introduced too quickly. Disrupt eating, digestion, heart rate, liver metabolism. Plan weaning - weaning is high risk for digestive upset. Need energy for protein synthesis to build muscle. Growth after weaning is in order of mass:
