====Animal (or Fish) Derivatives or By-products====
Animal derivatives are commonly used in a meal form (such as chicken meal, poultry by-product meal) where meat and animal derivatives are cooked, the fat removed and the remaining material dried to create a dry meal).
====Aromatic Amino Acids====
====Aromatic Amino Acids====
Group of amino acids characterized by side chains consisting of flat ring structures.
Group of amino acids characterized by side chains consisting of flat ring structures.

====Cholecalciferol====
Form of vitamin D (D3) synthesized by animals.
Form of vitamin D (D3) synthesized by animals.
====Cobalamin====
====Cobalamin====
Vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12.
====Coccidiostats====
Coccidiostats are substances used as poultry feed additives to prevent [[Coccidiosis - Poultry|coccidiosis]].
====Coenzyme====
====Coenzyme====
Small non-protein carbon-containing (i.e., organic) molecules that bind to an enzyme and are required for biological activity.
Small non-protein carbon-containing (i.e., organic) molecules that bind to an enzyme and are required for biological activity.
====Cofactor====
====Cofactor====
Small non-protein compound that binds to a protein to facilitate or increase the rate of biological activity; may be organic (i.e., coenzymes) or inorganic (i.e., minerals).
Small non-protein compound that binds to a protein to facilitate or increase the rate of biological activity; may be organic (i.e., coenzymes) or inorganic (i.e., minerals).
====Complementary Pet Food ====
Complementary pet foods are designed to be only a part of the diet and they do not meet the known nutritional requirements when fed alone. They must be used in combination with additional food types to fulfill daily requirements.
====Complete Pet Food====
Pet foods providing all the nutrients in the amounts and proportions animals need are considered complete. Only complete pet foods are suitable for daily feeding without adding further food products except water.
====Conditionally Essential Nutrients====
====Conditionally Essential Nutrients====
Amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that have limited de novo synthesis by animals and during specific periods of high nutrient demand (such as growth or gestation) may be required in the diet.
Amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that have limited de novo synthesis by animals and during specific periods of high nutrient demand (such as growth or gestation) may be required in the diet.
====Crude Ash====
Ash is the term used to define the inorganic material left after organic material has been burnt. It is important to recognise that this does not indicate ash was added to the food. It is also permitted to call “ash”, “incinerated residue” or “inorganic matter”.
====Dibasic Amino Acids====
====Dibasic Amino Acids====
Group of amino acids characterized by side chain consisting of a second basic group.
Group of amino acids characterized by side chain consisting of a second basic group.
The effect of a particular food or meal on elevating blood sugar levels.
The effect of a particular food or meal on elevating blood sugar levels.
====High Density Lipoprotein====
====High Density Lipoprotein====
The smallest of the lipoprotein molecules with the lowest ratio of fat to protein. Used to transport lipid and cholesterol from the periphery to the liver and other end organs (such as adrenals and ovary/testes) for further metabolism.

====Histomonostats====
Histomonostats are substances used as poultry feed additives to prevent [[Histomonas|histomoniasis]] (black head).
====Incinerated Residue====

Characteristics of a food that make it appear pleasing and acceptable to an animal.
Characteristics of a food that make it appear pleasing and acceptable to an animal.
====Particular Nutritional Purposes (PARNUT)====
A Particular Nutritional Purpose is intended to meet the specific nutritional needs of animals whose process of assimilation, absorption or metabolism is, or could be, temporarily or irreversibly impaired and who can, therefore, benefit from a feed that is adapted to the specific needs generated by their condition.
====Polysaccharides====
====Polysaccharides====
A carbohydrate molecule comprised of multiple monosaccharide subunits.
A carbohydrate molecule comprised of multiple monosaccharide subunits.
