A
  • antibiotics
  • colouring materials
  • flavours
  • hormones
  • mendicants
24
Q

What are some natural foods for aquatic animals?

A
  • detritus (dead particulate organic material)
  • plankton
  • bacteria
  • worms
  • insects
  • snails
  • aquatic plants
  • fish
25
Q

What are complete feeds for fish?

A
  • made from a mixture of carefully selected ingredients to provide all the nutrients necessary for the fish to grow well
  • made in a form which fish find easy to eat and digest (usually pellet form)
26
Q

What are supplementary feeds for fish?

A
  • feeds regularly distributed to the fish in the pond

- e.g. terrestrial plants and agricultural by-product

27
Q

What are creep feeds for pigs?

A
  • starter rations

- for weaners aged from 5-15 weeks

28
Q

What are starter rations for pigs?

A
  • utilize various nutrient sources (carbs, lactose) to aid the growth of weaners (crucial point in pig’s life)
  • feeds are easily digestible
29
Q

What are growing rations for pigs?

A
  • focus on increasing intakes at this stage

- higher digestible proteins (e.g. soya bean + raw cereals)

30
Q

State the different types of feeds for pigs as they grow.

A
  • creep feeds
  • pre-starter rations (optional)
  • starter rations
  • growing rations
31
Q

What are cows usually fed?

  • Barley fed
32
Q

What are some examples of corn feed for cows?

33
Q

What kind of diet do grass-fed cows have?

A
  • primarily forage diet

- grass-fed or pasture-raised

34
Q

What are fish meals high in?

A
  • high in protein sources
  • have essential amino acids that meet the requirements of most animals
  • high nutrient bioavailability (fraction of a nutrient in food that is absorbed & utilized)
  • good sources of EFA (essential fatty acids), minerals and vitamins
35

  • meat and bone meal (usually by-products)
  • poultry by-product meal (usually by-products)
  • blood meal
  • worm meal
38
Q

Why is lysine added to feed?

A
  • allows farmers to use lower-cost feed (e.g. corn) and still maintain desired growth rates
39
Q

What are single-cell proteins?

A
  • applied to a wide range of products of microbial origin
  • algal products, or fungal and bacterial products resulting from fermentation processes
  • yeast by-products are sold as protein and vitamin supplements for animal feeds
40
Q

What are some drawbacks of single-cell proteins?

A
  • too expensive to form the main protein source in fish feeds
  • concerns about the presence of undesirable compounds, such as heavy metals
41
Q

What are some bad effects of antinutritional factors?

A
  • reduced feed intake
  • reduced nutrient bioavailability
  • depressed growth
42
Q

What does the presence of antinutritional factors (ANF) do?

A
  • many plant ingredients are good protein sources in animal feeds BUT
  • their value may be reduced due to the presence of ANFs
43
Q

What are some techniques to remove, reduce or inactivate antinutritional factors?

A
  • selective plant breeding (a lot of time required)

- various extraction and processing techniques (very expensive)

44
Q

What are some plant protein sources?

A 
- oilseed meals
extracted from:
- soybeans
- cottonseed
- canola
- peanuts
- sunflower seeds
45
Q

What does soybean meal contain?

A
  • several antinutritional factors (ANF)
46
Q

What are some terrestrial lipids of animal origin?

A
  • pork fat

- beef tallow

47
Q

What do pork fat and beef tallow contain?

A
  • high levels of saturated fatty acids

- low levels of EFAs (essential fatty acids)

48
Q

What has high levels of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs)?

A
  • oil derived from seeds (e.g. soya and sunflower)
49
Q

What is the best source for high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs)?

A
  • marine fish oils
50
Q

What other ingredients can be added to complete feeds?

A
  • vitamin and minerals
  • binding agents
  • antioxidants and antifungal agents
  • carotenoid pigments (enhance colouring for fishes)
