BASIC ASPECTS OF FEEDS Flashcards
They grow faster, more efficient in feed utilization, more resistant to diseases
well-nourished animal
It is rationing feeds short of the proper volume
Underfeeding
It is giving more feed beyond the standard level both in volume and in nutritional requirement
Overfeeding
It is feeding enough feedstuff with unbalanced nutritional level, which usually results to nutritional deficiency
Unbalanced feeding
it is a chemical substance found in feed materials that can be used and necessary for the maintenance production
nutrients
young animals and breeding animals needs more?
protein
working/adult animals needs more?
carbs, energy
a feedstuff that can be digested or broken down
digestible nutrients
its in roughage that is not easily digested
fiber
they are efficient users of roughage
ruminants and horses
3 basic function of feed nutrients
- structural materials for building (proteins, mineral, water)
- source of energy for heat production (carbs, fats, protein)
- regulators of body (vitamins, amino acid, mineral)
give some reason why animals need feed
- maintenance
- growth
- reproduction
3 terms of animal feed
-ration
-balanced ration
- diet
its a total amount of feed an animal gets in 24 hours
ration
ration that provides all nutrients needed by the animal in the right amount
balanced ration
Type and amount of feed and water an animal eats
diet
6 types of materials of feed and water an animal eats
- carbs
- fats
- protein
- mineral
- vitamins
- water
Major sources are corn oats, hay, soybean oil meal and grain sorghum.
also it is more abundant and cheaper very easily digested and turned into body fat
most important source of energy
Carbohydrates
Meat scraps, tankage, cottonseed and fish meal
Fats
Tankage, soybean meal, fish meal
also complex compounds made of amino acids.
protein
they are needed by animals; six are macrominerals. Includes calcium, salt, phosphorus, magnesium
it is the inorganic elements of animals and plants
minerals
Most important of all nutrients.
water
it is A,D, and the B vitamins are most important in animals.
vitamins
market hog is ___% water,
newborn calf is ____% water
40%
70%
Some are created by the body, (nonessential) Others can’t be made fast enough (essential)
Poor Quality Protein Feeds
amino acid
what does deficiency mean
loss of production
what are the 6 Macrominerals needed by the animal
Salt
Calcium
Phosphorus
Magnesium
Potassium
Sulfur
give some function of minerals
- give strength to skeleton
give some Microminerals needed by the animal
Chromium
Cobalt
Copper
Fluorine
iodine
Iron
zinc
give some function of minerals
- Give strength to skeleton
- Part of protein
- Activate enzyme systems
- Control fluid balance
what are the fat soluble vitamins
vitamin A D E K
what are the WAYS SUPPLEMENTS ARE
PREPARED
BLOCKS- Salt or mineral block
LIQUIDS- Molasses
MIXES- Salt, protein sources
it gives energy needed for all life processes
like in Deficiency: slow or stunted
energy feeds
Animal Proteins are superior for ______
monogastrics
