decreasing, authentic lysine and SBM can be used compared to just SBM.

146
Q

what is CP?

A

measure of nitrogen in the feed

147
Q

all ingested protein has to be what?

A

rumen degradable or rumen undegradable

148
Q

what is the name of the rumen degradable protein that is changed by the rumen microbes

A

microbial cell protein.

149
Q

since RUP is not changed in rumen what two things leave the rumen? what do they make together?

A

MCP and RUP. metabolizable protein that is available to animal for growth.

150
Q

is the quality of RUP or RDP more important?

A

the amino acid and protein quality of RUP is more important because it is not getting changed by rumen.

151
Q

do the specific qualitys of RDP amino acids matter

A

no, microbes break them down. the microbes combine nitrogen, VFA, carb digestion to make MCP.

152
Q

because ruminants use non protein nitrogen why dont they get rid of all urea like monogastrics?

A

they recycle extra urea and ammonia in the rumen to go back into RDP to be used as a nitrogen source make more MCP. urea and ammonia is toxic to monogastrics so they have to get it all out.

153
Q

why does it take longer to see a protein deficiency in ruminants?

A

because ruminants can use internal nitrogen and put it back in the rumen to make more microbial cell protein.

154
Q

if a protein source is spray dried it means that protein is

A

high quality, because the protein has been decitalty dried to preserve quality.

155
Q

when is RuP important?

A

they do have specific AA acid requirements, but the MCP changes the feed. RUP is important if mcp does not meet a ruminants needs. we would choose a higher RUP feed.

156
Q

intake energy is like crude protein in what way?

A

things that are not digested by the animal. monogastric example: fiber

158
Q

what two types of energy losses occur after digestible energy? does urine energy loss differ between monogastrics and ruminants? does gaseous? why?

A

urine and gaseous. urine energy does not differ. gaseous does differ and cause a much bigger loss in ruminants because of the fermentation process in the rumen.

178
Q

what are the two main carbs and how are they bonded?
what are the two types of starch? how are they different?

A

starch (alpha bonds) and cellulose (beta bonds that need ruminant bacteria to break them apart). amylose and amylopectin. amylose is a straight line of glucose and amylopectin is a branch.

179
Q

what will fat (in the form of triglyceride) we feed a ruminant come out as? why?

A

saturated fat.microbes change unsaturated fat to saturated. unsaturated fat is toxic to rumen microbes.

180
Q

what is tyrglyceride? what happens to the parts of it?

A

three fats attached to glycerol backbone. how fat is stored in body and present in feed. rumen microbes tear glycerol backbone and turn into volatile fatty acid to be used as every. the three fats are either unsaturated or saturated. unsaturated fats are converted in rumen microbe.
