• Why is understanding nutritional requirements key in feeding plans?

  It helps create tailored feeding strategies
• What should be considered in an animal case study for nutritional needs?

  • Life stage (e.g., senior, juvenile, adult)
  • Activity level (e.g., sedentary, highly active)
  • Health considerations (e.g., joint health, dental care)
  • Key nutritional components (e.g., protein, carbohydrates)
• What types of animals can be chosen for the case study?

  Senior Dog, Working Horse, Pet Rabbit
• What should a practical feeding plan address?

  • Portion sizes
  • Frequency of feeding
  • Types of feed or diet

• What should be included in the fact sheet for the animal's case study?

  Basic profile, nutritional needs, challenges
• What aspects should be compared in the evaluation task?

  • Feed plans suitability under conditions
  • Potential risks (e.g., protein overload)
  • Balance between different nutrients
• What does Plan 2 offer for an active lifestyle?

  A higher level of protein content
• How does Plan 2 differ in feeding frequency compared to Plan 1?

  It divides portions into more frequent meals
• What dietary variety does Plan 2 introduce?

  Raw food for picky eaters
• What supplement does Plan 2 include for preventative care?

  Glucosamine
• What are the critical evaluation points for the feeding plans?

  • Protein content differences
  • Frequency of feeding variations
  • Diet variety considerations
