About course

Every animal has different nutritional needs, and choosing the right diet requires an understanding of species-specific feeding requirements. Without proper knowledge, feeding mistakes can affect animal health, growth and welfare. Our CPD-accredited Animal Nutrition Course covers feeding principles, dietary requirements and responsible nutrition practices for livestock, horses and wildlife.

The animal nutrition course is designed for farm workers, livestock handlers, equine grooms, animal care assistants, zookeepers and wildlife care assistants who want to improve their understanding of animal diets. It is also suitable for veterinary support staff, animal care students and individuals considering careers in animal husbandry, wildlife conservation or animal welfare.

As you progress through this livestock nutrition course, you will explore key modules from animal nutrition foundations to feed safety and responsible feeding. Each module covers important topics, including digestive systems, livestock feeding, equine nutrition and wildlife diets. You will acquire knowledge of species-specific dietary needs, common nutritional risks and suitable feeding practices across different animal care settings.

Whether you’re looking for animal feeding and nutrition training for yourself or your team, we provide a structured and flexible online learning programme developed by industry experts and aligned with relevant UK standards. You can study at your own pace on any compatible device, with 24/7 learner support available whenever you need assistance.

For organisations looking to develop their staff, our team training option is also available. A dedicated dashboard allows managers to enrol multiple learners, track their progress and manage learning activities in one place. Upon successful completion, you will receive a free digital certificate recognising your achievement and commitment to professional development.

Get started today with our animal nutrition course to broaden your understanding of animal diets, support welfare and advance your professional development.
