The main causes of malnutrition in domestic animals include negligence on the part of the owner to provide animals, be they pets or livestock, the necessary water and feed (and salt mineral for the ungulates and equids that live on farms) for them to live and survive. Malnutrition can also be caused by digestive disorder or disease (like Johnes Disease in cattle, or tapeworms in the majority of animals, including humans) to make them get thinner and thinner despite the fact they have adequate food and water in front of them at all times.

Malnutrition in people is also the result of poverty and war.

Protein-energy malnutrition is caused by a deficiency of protein and/or calories in the diet. This deficiency can be due to inadequate food intake, poor absorption of nutrients, or increased requirements such as during illness or growth periods. It can also be influenced by factors such as poverty, food insecurity, and lack of access to nutritious foods.
