General Poultry And Livestock Feeding Flashcards
What are the pre-requisites to a productive animal production?
-proper nutrition
-health care
-good management
Is rationing feeds short of the proper volume or standard requirement in both quantity and nutritional level
Underfeeding
Is giving more feed beyond the standard level both in volume and in nutritional requirement this resulting to a very expensive feed ration with low net return in terms of feed conversion
Overfeeding
Is feeding enough feedstuff with unbalanced nutritional level, which usually results to nutritional deficiency as when giving ration rich in carbohydrates but less in protein
Unbalanced feeding
Chemical substances found in feed materials that can be used and are necessary for the maintenance, production, and health of animals
Nutrients
Are needed by animals in definite amounts varying with age, function, use etc.
Nutrients
Is the part of a feedstuff that can be digested or broken down
Digestible nutrient
Are efficient users of roughage
Ruminants and horses
Fiber in roughage is not easily digested
What are the 3 basic functions of feed nutrients
- As Structural materials for building and maintaining the body structure
- As sources of energy for heat production, work, and/or fat deposition
- As regulators of body processes/activities and as constituents of body-produced regulators
Give the reasons why animals need feeds
*maintenance
*growth
*reproduction
*lactation
*working
*other products and uses
The total amount of feed an animal gets in a 24 hour period
Ration
A ration that provides all of the nutrients needed by the animal in the right amount and proportion
Balanced ration
Type and amount of feed and water an animal eats
Diet
What are the 6 types of materials that provide nutrients
carbohydrates
fats
protein
minerals
vitamins
water
*More abundant and cheaper
*Very easily digested and turned into
body fat
*Easier storage than fats
Carbohydrates
*Complex compounds made of amino
acids
*In all plant and animal cells
*Nitrogen content multiplied by 6.25
tells the amount of protein
*Plants make their own protein
proteins
Some are created by the body, nonessential
amino acids
are the inorganic elements of
animals and plants
minerals
it is Determined by burning off the organic matter and weighing the residue (called Ash)
minerals
Minerals
*2 to 5% of animal are minerals (bones, teeth, part of blood, fluids)
*Regulate many vital processes
*18 essential mineral elements
*Deficiency=loss of production
Minerals
*Free choice or in ration
*Supplement for deficiency only
*Trace minerals in areas where soil is
deficient
enumerate some Macrominerals
*Salt
*Calcium
*Phosphorus
*Magnesium
*Potassium
*Sulfur
enumerate some microminerals
*Chromium
*Cobalt
*Copper
*Fluorine
*Iodine
*Iron
*Manganese
*Molybdenum
*Selenium
*Silicon
*Zinc
enumerate the functions of animals
*Give strength to skeleton
*Part of protein
*Activate enzyme systems
*Control fluid balance
*Regulate acid-base balance
*Exert effects on nerves / muscles
*Engage in mineral-vitamin relation.
*Required in minute amounts for normal growth
*Specific functions
*Fat soluble or water soluble
vitamins
what are the Fat Soluble Vitamins
Vitamin A, D, E, K
enumerate some water soluble vitamins
*Biotin
*Choline
*Folic Acid
*Inositol
*Niacin
*Pantothenic Acid
(B-3)
*PABA
*Riboflavin (B-2)
*Thiamine (B-1)
*B-6
*B-12
*C
*All but C are from
the B family
what is the Most vital of all nutrients
water
WHAT ARE THE 3 WAYS SUPPLEMENTS ARE
PREPARED
*Blocks
*Liquids
*Mixes
Energy Feeds
*Energy needed for all life processes
*Deficiency: slow or stunted growth, body tissue loss, lowered production of
meat, milk, eggs, fiber
*Carbohydrates most important source
of energy, than fats
are superior for
monogastrics
Animal Proteins
are abundant in essential
amino acids
milk and eggs
Essential Amino Acids
*Most likely AA to be deficient are:
-Lysine, Methionine, and Tryptophan
-Cereal grains are low in these
-Rations with high amounts of cereal grains require supplements with proteins
with higher levels of these amino acids
are high in TDN and
high in protein.
protein supplements
what are the 3 types of protein supplements
- animal
- plants
- synthetic
3 types of protein supplements
1.Animal
-meat scraps and tankage, blood meal, fish meal,
and skim milk.
2. Plant
-soybean oil meal, cotton seed meal and various
grain by-products.
3. Synthetic
-urea, molasses, rice hulls, and citrus pulp treated
with ammonia.
is any ingredient, or material, fed to animals for the purpose of sustaining
them
feedstuff
*most provide one or more nutrients
*nonnutritives = flavor, color,
palatability, adding bulk, preservatives
feedstuff
enumerate the feed classifications
*Roughages
*Concentrates
*By-product feeds
*Protein Supplements
*Minerals
*Vitamins
*Special Feeds
*Additives, Implants, & Injections
enumerate the 5 types of roughages
- pastures
- hay
- crop residues
- silage
- haylage
