Solution
Animal nutrition, in the traditional context, is the science of feed preparation and feeding, or how feeds should be prepared and fed to animals to provide adequate and healthy food and non-food materials like wool or manure. The availability of desired types and quantities of animal feed in a consistent manner, as well as their feeding, is the cornerstone of the livestock production system.
Complete answer:
Unlike cockroaches, houseflies do not have chewing mouthparts or piercing-sucking mouthparts. They regurgitate digestive enzymes, soften and liquify food, and then sop it up with their spongy mouthparts.
Cockroaches aren't known for being predators. They progressively switch over the required food after detecting it. The maxillae then obtain the food, which the mandibles then cut into pieces. The anterior/pro-thoracic legs help with procurement and cutting.
Male and female mosquitoes typically feed on nectar, aphid honeydew, and plant juices, but females in many species have mouthparts adapted for penetrating animal hosts' skin and sucking their blood as ectoparasites.
Suckling is the process of pulling milk into the mouth from a mammary gland's nipple or teat (i.e., breast or udder). Suckling is also known as nursing or breastfeeding in humans. The process by which newborn mammals are fed is known as suckling.

Note:
A nutrient-dense food is one that contains carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Nutrients are substances that provide energy for movement, development, and all bodily functions such as breathing, digesting food, and staying warm; materials for the body's growth and repair, and immune system health.
