Exam 1 material Flashcards
The sum of the processes in an animal by which food substances are consumed, metabolized, and waste products are eliminated.
Nutriton
Any material that aids in the support of life in a normal healthy animal
Nutrient
Any product, whether of natural or synthetic origin, that when properly used in the diet has nutritional value
Feed and Feedstuff

synthetic feed/feedstuff
what are the classes of nutrients
- protein
- carbs
- lipids
- vitamins
- minerals
- water
what is the difference between soybean and soybean meal
soybean: has anti-nutritional factor called trypsin, needs denatured, high in oil
soybean meal: fed to livestock, easier digested
a combination of feedstuffs
diet
amount of feed consumed by (or provided to ) an animal in a 24 hr period
ration
a feed or feed mixture used with another feed or feed mixture to improve the nutritional balance of a diet
supplement
what are the three ways to use a supplement
- mix with other ingredients
- feed free choice
- feed undiluted
a feed stuff which supplied nutrients high in energy and contains < 18% (less than) fiber as crude fiber
concentrate
a feedstuff containing >18% (more than) fiber as crude fiber
roughage
what kind of diet does ruminant animals do well on
roughage
the physical and chemical reactions feedstuffs undergo from intake to absorption from the gut
digestion
how many steps are in digestion
Three
1. Mechanical
2. Chemical
3. enzymatic hydrolysis
movement of nutrients from the GI tract through the gut wall into the lymph system, bloodstream, and cells
absorption
movement of nutrients from absorption site to cells of the body
distribution
what is the true stomach in ruminant animals
abomasum
what is the true stomach in chickens
proventriculus
the chemical processes that nutrients undergo after absorption
metabolism
any constructive process by which simple substances are converted into more complex substances
anabolism
any destructive process by which complex substances are converted into more simple compounds
catabolism
biocatalyst, secreted by living cells, which activate and/or accelerate chemical reactions
enzymes
many enzymes have these two things
coenzymes
cofactors
these activate the enzyme (many minerals) and are inorganic
cofactors
these function in conjunction with enzymes; are not permanent parts of the enzyme
often act as intermediate carriers of electrons or as functional groups for the transport of chemical moieties
organic molecules
coenzymes

travel through the blood
play a role on how the pancreas functions/how much is released
hormones
what order are the steps the body goes through from feed to waste

1-2%
are Ca and P commonly in plants
no, seldom over 1-2%
for cattle on roughage diets what supplement do they require
must supply P
for cattle on a concentrate diet, what supplement do they need and why
must supply Ca and P
animal on this kind of feed is constantly growing at a fast rate
the younger the plant, how does it affect digestibility?
higher digestibility
anything with a protein value higher than 47% means
it is an animal product
what plant has the highest protein value
soybean
if phytic acid/phytate is present, what product is it
plant
if the Ash/Ca/P value is more than 5%, what kind of product is it
animal
if Ca/P/Ash is less than 2% what product is it
plant
products remaining after, or developed form that which remains after, processing of commodities of other processes
