Like humans, animals need the right food in order to grow healthy and strong. When it comes to animal nutrition, there is a need to provide a variety of nutrients in order to meet basic needs. The things animals need include:

• fats and carbohydrates for energy
• proteins that supply amino acids
• vitamins that help enzymes function
•  ions to help with nerve and muscle function as well as water balance

These are just some examples of what we should be giving the animals we care for. Of course, being able to provide them with all of these in balanced amounts can be a difficult task. It would mean feeding them a variety of foods and giving them dietary supplements. It is a good thing that all these and more can be found in animal feed.

Using the right kind of animal feed can be beneficial not just to the animals but to owners as well. It takes a lot of time and effort in the feeding process. There is no need to spend time preparing meals for animals since the feed is ready to use. It can also lessen problems with imbalanced nutrition and poor growth because animal feeds are made with all the specific needs in mind. Finally, it can also be a cost-effective method of keeping animals healthy. Feeds from a feed dealer are cheaper than raw foods and supplements.
