Non-Ruminants
substances needed by animals to sustain life
Nutrients
feed with high fiber content and low protein

Concentrates
Feed materials for ruminant animals, either fresh or dry, but usually cereals
Fodder crops
Fermented forage crops

Functions of feed nutrients
Builds and maintains body structure, source of energy for heat production, work, and fat deposition, regulates body processes
Six basic classes of nutrients
Water, Carbo, Proteins, Fats(Lipids), Minerals, Vitamins
The most basic nutrient because of its active and structural participation in life. Also the cheapest nutrient required in largest amount.
Water
Three sources of water
Drinking water, water in food, metabolic water
Three sources of water
Drinking water, water in food, metabolic water
Solvent that transport nutrients in the body and in which waste products are excreted.
Water
Neutral chemical with Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Main component of all plants and many seed
Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates - Starch
Types of Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides, Oligosaccharides
