animal science exam 3 Flashcards
Producers Job?
Provide feed to meet needs
nutrients required to keep body in state of well being
body maintenance
roughly half of all feed is for…
maintenance requirements but this can depend on demand
Maintenance functions with a high priority for nutrients:
Body tissue repair, control of body temperature, energy to keep vital organs functioning, water balance maintenance
growth occurs when
protein synthesis is in excess of protein breakdown
majority of muscle is
Protein
if young animals experience a restriction in feed for a short time, they may experience?
Compensatory growth ( above average growth rate) once nutrition improves
Monogatrics need
protein and certain amino acids for growth
young animals need what for bone growth and salt?
adequate calcium and phosphorus
complete once market weight is achieved
Finishing
feed high energy rations during
Last phase of feeding program
milk production requires
Protein, minerals, vitamins and energy
lactating dairy cows reach peak lactation
46 - 65 days post calving
feed intake doesn’t catch up with rising energy requirements for
8 - 10 weeks
need nutrients for growth
boilers
need nutrients focused on eggs
layers
increase in body weight until mature size is reached
growth
coordination of all diverse process until maturity is reached
developments
3 phases of prenatal life
Sex cells, embryo, fetus
cells differentiate in specific types and eventually organs
Embryological development
growth, development and differentiation directed by
DNA from the nucleus
marked changes in shape and form
Fetal developments
oder of growth follows sequential process
CNS, Organs, bones/tendons, muscles, fat
increase in number of fibers
Hyperplasia
Hyperplasia examples
First 2/3 of prenatal period, muscle growth
