Animal feeding is a process that enables us to provide the amount of nutritional substances and suitable foods to achieve the optimal physical condition of the animals. To do so, it is necessary to take into account nutritional requirements, the value characteristics of the foods and the feed ration and the way of administering the amount of the product required to cover these needs.

The objective of animal feed is to determine the optimal combination of the available ingredients in order to make feed rations that fulfil certain conditions, which often vary depending in the animal in question.

For instance, in the case of productive livestock it is crucial that the feed ration gives the animals all the nutrients that they need to achieve maximum performance in terms of production with respect to the quantity and quality of the products, as well as preventing the appearance of digestive or metabolic disorders.
