Deck 4 Flashcards
The energy requirement of ewes is greatest during
the first 8-10 weeks of lactation
Cholecalciferol is also known as
Vitamin D3
Cereal grains are fed to animals as a source of
energy due to their high starch content
Cereal grains are relatively high in
Phosphorus
Cereal grains are deficient in
Calcium
In horses, VFAs are mainly absorbed in
colon
The newborn calf has very low activity of these enzymes:
pepsin
amylase
maltase
The volume of pig stomach is about
29% of total GIT
Turkey broilers:
Grow faster than chicken broilers
Have relatively higher protein requirements than chicken broilers
Cereal grains constitute between
55 and 70% of the feed mixture for pigs
VFAs are the main energy source for ruminants, providing approximately..
70% of the total energy requirements
The entire ensiling process requires
2-3 weeks, during which the aerobic, anaerobic and stable phases of varying intensity colour
From 45 kg to finished weight of 118-120 kg, pigs on full feed should consume
4 kg of feed daily for each 100 kg of body weight
In dogs, production of lactase is highest when?
When does it decrease?
after birth, decrease rapidly between 4th to 7th week. Production of lactase is very low level and can create intolerance to milk products, saliva lacks amylase and amylolytic activity in pancreatic juice is limited.
In puppies of small breeds it is recommended to reach 50% of adult body weight not earlier than
4 months of age
Legume hay is
higher in protein than grass hay
Daily ration of horses normally contain how much crude fat?
3-5% in DM, horses can tolerate high level of fat (higher than 10%)
Main goals in nutrition fattening of pigs
average daily gain min 800g.
a final live weight of 105 to 110 kg.
An excellent and practical source of protein for sheep are
green pastures and legume hays
Foals are usually weaned at approximately
6 months of age
