Lecture 2 Part 1 Flashcards
why do we analyze feed
- need to know what nutrients are present
- test for anti-nutritional factor or toxins
- know more about what we are buying or selling
- want to establish or add value
depending on scale and level of management, how many times may a farmer collect and analyze feed
daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually
what is important when taking samples of feedstuffs (should be)
- collected correctly
- labeled consistently
- stored appropriately (prevent degradation)
round bales
- outside and inside were at different locations when raked and baled
- outside=dry, moldy, ;ess nutrients
how do you take a sample to analyze a square bale
grab samples
silage
- keep sealed
- core sampling
- testing nutrition and fermentation
what kind of testing do you use for silage
core sampling
what kind of testing do you use for grain
grab samples
sampling forages
- Grab sample
- core sample
- sample numbers and composites
what are the two general analytical procedures used in feed analysis
- proximate analysis
- van soest analysis
in a feed analysis, what are the specific analytical procedures
- vitamins
- minerals
- toxins
what are other forms of feed analysis
- near infrared reflectance spectroscopy
- biological models
what is the history behind feed analysis
- 1860
- Weende Analysis/ Weende Experiment Station
proximate analysis
series of procedures used to determine nutrient categories
- quantitative method to determine amount of different macronutrients in feed
what are the 6 fractions of proximate analysis
