Amino Acid Formulation and Safety Margins

Question 1

amino acid content to productive output trend

Answer 1

capps out at a certain point

Question 2

what is the most efficient protein

Answer 2

one that meets all the needs of the animal and no amino acid is wasted

Question 3

what food products have near perfect amino acid profiles

Answer 3

milk and eggs

Question 4

what is amino acid requirement in an animal based on

Answer 4

state for max performance

Question 5

AA impact on feed conversion

Answer 5

feeding excess AA lowers feed conversion

Question 6

ideal protein concept

Answer 6

only grow to the capacity of the lowest limiting amino acid

Question 7

practical formulation cascade

Answer 7

energy to lysine
lysine to aa concentration
ensure minimum crude protein is included

Question 8

too much or too little amino acid

Answer 8

too much is waste
too little and the animal wont grow as well

Question 9

safety margin

Answer 9

account for variability

Question 10

strategies for safety margining

Answer 10

using alternate sources of nutrients to lower the impact that a primary ingredient variability can have
larger safety margins
