Summarize three specific reasons why it is important for animals to have the proper amount of essential nutrients.

Nutrition is important for a variety of reasons. Animals need the proper nutrition for growth and maintenance, and to provide energy for work and vital functions. Maintenance is the nutrition required for an animal to maintain its current weight. Energy is the ability of the body to perform functions. Each animal species has its own needs and requirements based on the animals environment, work and activity level, age and stage of development, genetic make-up, and health needs. Determining the proper diet should include the needs of the animal based on these factors.
