According to the World Health Organization (WHO), undernutrition remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, making strategic interventions crucial. Supplemental feeding is the provision of additional food or nutrients to an animal or population beyond its primary or normal diet to address nutritional gaps or other deficiencies. This practice can serve various purposes across different contexts, from supporting livestock during drought to aiding wildlife conservation efforts.
