Q

weaning beef calves

A

modify date of weaning each year to achieve a trade-off between optimising the body condition fo the dam at next mating and optimising calf live weight before weaning

Q

explained early weaning beef

A

Drenching and vax and moving to worm free pasture is too much management

150kg, is very large, usually weaned at 100kg

correct = doing bare minimum of giving extra supplements, compared to if it were older

Q

when is pasture providing the best growth rate

A

when its growing rapidly

Not

  • flowering and seeding
  • maximum DM content - as the energy is less accessible
  • reaching maximal DM content per Ha

Q

Compensatory growth is most likely to occur in growing steers grazing

A

High quality pasture after several months of feed restriction through the dry season

  • as the weight goes up and down but overall up
  • if constant supplementation = just mostly maintaining very little going up

A

bones ricketts

35
Q

Vitamin E

A

with selenium = muscle issues

36
Q

Vitamin K

A

Colagulation

37
Q
A

polutry food:water = 1:2

pigs 1:2.5/3.5

38
Q

Laying hens, which statement most correctly describes the relationship between temperature and dietary energy requirements?

A

Hens decrease their feed intake as temperature increase and protein level should be increased

39
Q

monensin

A

antibiotic

40
Q

kernels discoloured and appear lighter in weight than normal

A

mycotoxin

41
Q

feeding regime for a breeding beef cow in northern Australia winter (dry season)

A

tropical grass = northern
constant access to molasses/urea lick

dry= phosphorus
wet = nitrogen
42
Q
A
43
Q

weight control and growing to a prescribed growth cure in broiler breeder is used for?

A

increased egg production
decrease the coefficient of variation
reduce fatty liver syndrome

44
Q

Chicken feed by age

A

young chickens = crumble

over 2 weeks = grower + finisher = pellet

45

50
Q

urea

A

protein

51
Q

molasses

A

energy + sulfur, appetite stimulator

52

A

increase intake

53

Biological value low

A

imbalance in amino acid profile

54
Q

depresses Vit B12 production

A

selenium

56

A

vit E

57
Q

Depresses vitamin D3 production

A

rickets

58
Q

in an energy balance diet the efficiency conversion of MP into wool in a sheep is low computed to that for growth or lactation because

A

the proteins retained in growth and lactation have a closer amino acid profile or balance to microbial crude protein than the proteins retained ni wool

59
Q

metabolised energy definiton

A

DM intake and digestibility

60
Q

EXPLAIN THE GRAPH

A
61
Q

beef vs dairy in starch

A

more stach = more energy = lactating

62
Q

beef vs dairy which has the higher concentration of NDF

A

beef lower

63
Q

when are grazing cattle most likely to respond to phosphorus (P) supplements

A

when pasture is abundant , with adequate available energy and protein by deficient P

because = energy needs to balanced first

64
Q

the most common supplementations of beef cattle

A
Urea = nitrogen = dry = maintain weight
Phosphorus = wet = supplement  but ME and MP first
65
Q

A

amino acids from cotton seed

66
Q
