2 Course Objective Clinical nutrition is an up-coming area in the field of animal nutrition with the shift in the focus from feeding for production to feeding for health and welfare. Backed by this global swing to have a relook at the nutrition and feeding as a vital tool to tackle and prevent a multitude of diseases, there has been a reorientation in the animal nutrition curriculum across the universities to include clinical nutrition as an important component of UG and PG courses. However, there is a general dearth of information on this important aspect, which necessitates that a well-construed advanced training module be developed for the benefit of teachers and researchers. The present course is designed to facilitate strengthening the human resource component for further integration of clinical nutrition into health and welfare of farm and pet animals. Overall, the course intends to address the issues in the rapidly advancing fields of veterinary clinical nutrition associated with livestock health; to enhance attendees skills in interpreting clinical nutrition studies; to facilitate interactions with nutritionists, researchers and teachers in animal nutrition, and to provide opportunities for sharing and exchange of views in light of recent global advancements in the field. Course Description This course is designed for researchers and teachers of Animal Nutrition and related disciplines working in the National Agricultural Research System including state agricultural / veterinary universities, field diagnostic laboratories and allied organizations. The course is especially applicable to professionals involved in animal nutrition and health management, research and teaching, with particular interest in animal health and welfare. The course objectives will be achieved through a combination of presentations, practical exercises and group discussions. It will particularly focus on Clinical nutrition in veterinary practice Clinical nutrition in health management of livestock Metabolic and deficiency diseases of farm animals Applied clinical nutrition functional foods and nutraceuticals Emerging trends in veterinary clinical nutrition Analytical techniques in clinical nutrition Each participant will be required to deliver a short seminar highlighting his or her activities in their parent organization and also feedback on the course.

3 Course Location The course will be held at the Centre of Advanced Studies in Animal Nutrition,, Izatnagar. Established in 1921, the Animal Nutrition Division of the institute has been the torchbearer for scientific, and human resource development in the areas of Animal Nutrition and feed science.
