What Is an Animal Nutritionist? Animal nutritionists formulate diets for domestic, companion, and exhibit animals. Animal nutritionists may teach the science and art of nutrition to students. Some conduct research in public universities and colleges, or work in the private sector. Corporate career activities range from serving clients on farms and ranches to supervising research and conducting international marketing projects.

Duties of Animal Nutritionists Evaluate the nutritional needs of animals at all stages of development. Evaluate chemical, economical, and nutritional value of feed. Formulate diets to match the nutritional needs of animals to maximize growth, reproductive, and health potential. Conduct animal-based studies to research the effectiveness of dietary regimes. Investigate nutritional disorders to correct and prevent them. Develop new products and support marketing of those products. Partner with producers and clients to understand needs. Ensure that feed formulations meet animal health standards. Stay current with nutritional trends, new legislation, and regulatory changes. *These are some common duties of the profession. This list is not all inclusive, and duties can vary greatly within the profession.

Ability to pay attention to small details in the food ration and animals health is critical. One should also be task oriented and organized.
