Any chemical element or compound in the diet that supports normal growth, reproduction, lactation, or maintenance of life processes

53
Q

5 nutrient requirements of animals

A
  1. Nitrogen- essential amino acids

ME is higher

70
Q

A

Corn grain has more energy
Oats has more protein

72
Q

What is soybean meal a good nutrient source for?

A

Protein

73
Q

Contains 40% nitrogen. What is the CP %?

A

250% CP

74
Q

Compare brewer’s grain and distiller’s grain
