If feed is prescribed correctly but repeatedly missed what problem will occur?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Actual nutritional intake will be inadequate
A prescription achieves nutritional goals only when the feed is actually delivered and retained. Repeatedly missed feeds reduce total energy, protein, micronutrient, and fluid intake, which can cause weight loss and delayed recovery. Records should identify why feeds were missed, such as procedures, intolerance, vomiting, or equipment problems, so the plan can be corrected.
