Abstract

The purpose of this study paper is to investigate the decisive role that dietary strategies have in improving the health and performance of animals, with a particular focus on veterinary approaches that are tailored to meet the specific needs of different species. This research investigates the significance of consuming a diet that is well-balanced, the quality of the protein consumed, the provision of energy, and the addition of micronutrients to achieve optimal health. It also covers the significance of considering the health of the gut, dietary regimens that are tailored to specific health conditions, and ongoing monitoring and modifications for the purpose of maintaining a state of well-being. It is acknowledged that working together with professionals in the veterinary field is an essential component in the process of developing and putting into action efficient dietary plans.
