Section Description
ASCI 1040 is an introductory course in general nutrition designed for ASCI students with little or no previous training. The course is lecture-based addressing the scientific principles of classic nutrition focusing on the six nutrient groups (carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, and water). The goal of this course is to provide a comprehensive study of nutrients in terms of their availability, function, and utilization in mammalian species. Since all mammals require a similar array of nutrients, this course is taught as a course in Comparative Nutrition of Mammals, not just in Animal Nutrition or Human Nutrition, but both.
