This course is designed to provide students the
fundamental concept of nutrition for farm animals including Marine Biotechnology is defined as “the use of marine
aquatic animals, ruminants and poultry. Focus will be given organisms or their parts in industrial products, medicine or
on dietary aspects for the animals incuding their nutrition processes”. Topics taught include the application of
requirement and metabolisms. This course also emphasize biotechnology in marine resource, environment and
on ways to maximise the quality of animal feed for ecosystem management, the development and discovery
