CREDITS: 20 FHEQ Level: 5 JACS CODE: D322 PRE-REQUISITES: None CO-REQUISITES: None COMPENSATABLE: Yes SHORT MODULE DESCRIPTOR: (max 425 characters) This module introduces the student to the physiology of the digestive system and the biochemistry of nutritionally important chemicals and their role within the body. Comparative nutritional requirements are investigated, as are the clinical aspects of nutrition relating to maintenance of animal health. ELEMENTS OF ASSESSMENT Use HESA KIS definitions] WRITTEN EXAMINATION COURSEWORK PRACTICAL E1 (Examination) 40% C1 (Coursework) 60% P1 (Practical) % or Pass/Fail (delete as appropriate) E2 (Clinical Examination) % A1 (Generic Assessment) % T1 (Test) % SUBJECT ASSESSMENT PANEL Group to which module should be linked: Duchy Stoke Professional body minimum pass mark requirement: N/A MODULE AIMS: To develop students’ understanding of the biochemical principles which have evolved with the anatomy and physiology of digestive systems in a range of companion, domestic, livestock and exotic animals and the application of this knowledge to understanding the differences in diet of these animals. The application of this knowledge to the maintenance of good health via clinical nutrition. ASSESSED LEARNING OUTCOMES: (additional guidance below) At the end of the module the learner will be expected to be able to: Investigate the physiology of digestion and the concepts of cellular metabolism. Analyse the structure and role of biologically important molecules. Analyse dietary calculations regarding energy content, protein content and utilisation of feed by a range of animals, including production animals. Investigate sources of foods and evaluate their suitability, digestibility and utilisation by a range of animals and the implications of clinical nutrition problems.
