VALUES AND FUNCTIONS OF VARIOUS ANIMAL FEED STUFF

Below is how various nutrients contribute to these functions:

1. Insulates the body: Fats serve as an insulating layer under the skin, helping to maintain body temperature and protect internal organs from temperature fluctuations.
2. For growth and development: Proteins are essential for the growth and repair of tissues, including muscles, bones, and organs.

 Vitamins and minerals: Various vitamins (such as vitamin D, vitamin A, and vitamin C) and minerals (such as calcium, phosphorus, and zinc) play crucial roles in bone development, muscle growth, and overall physical development.

3. Aid resistance to diseases:

   - Vitamins and minerals: Many vitamins (such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin D) and minerals (such as zinc, selenium, and iron) support immune function and help the body resist infections and diseases.

   - Probiotics: Beneficial bacteria found in certain foods (like yogurt and fermented foods) or as supplements can support a healthy immune system by promoting a balanced gut microbiome.

4. Used in acid-base balance: Minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium play important roles in maintaining the body's acid-base balance by acting as buffers to neutralize acids or bases and regulate pH levels in bodily fluids.
5. Essential for digestion of food:

   - Fiber: Dietary fiber, found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, promotes healthy digestion by adding bulk to stool, aiding in regular bowel movements, and supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

   - Enzymes: Various enzymes produced by the body and obtained from food sources facilitate the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the body during digestion.

I.) Insulates the body
