Q

What is characteristic of oats as a feed?

A
  • high fibre cereal (double that of barley)
  • high in oil which is unsaturated
  • commonly used as straight feed for breeding horses
  • high pre-caecal starch digestibility in horses

Q

What are the characteristics of maize gluten feed?

A
  • mid protein feed commonly used in ruminants
  • medium energy
  • protein quality low in lysine
  • very high fibre makes it less useful for other species
  • can be used in grower finisher pig diets and layer and breeder poultry diets

Q

What is characteristic of pollard/ wheat bran feed?

A
  • this is the husk that is left over once the starch has been removed from wheat grain to make flour - left with a high fibre feed
  • low digestibility
  • contains low calcium content
  • used for fibre/laxative properties
  • often used solely to increase pelleting quality of mix

Q

What is characteristic of unmolassed sugar beet pulp as a feed?

A
  • high fibre by-product of sugar beet
  • high energy for ruminants but too much fibre for poultry
  • requires soaking is used straight for horses
  • excellent source of slowly digestible carbohydrate for ruminants

Q

What are the characteristics of cane molasses as a feed?

A
  • low protein high sugar feed for all farm species
  • very palatable — useful for why feeders horses
  • no fibre
  • 65% sugars
  • aids in pelleting
  • useful in course mixes - prevents sorting
  • high in potassium and salt and can cause scouring
17
Q

What are the characteristics of citrus pulp as feed?

A
  • low protein but high energy feed for ruminants
  • contains anti nutritional factor for young pigs and poultry: limonin
  • low energy in pigs
  • limited use in pigs and poultry
  • common straight feed in dairy cows but not as much in beef cattle just like with beet pulp
18
Q

What are the characteristics of soyabean meal as a protein supplement?

A
  • high energy, high protein supplement
  • good source of lysine
  • antinutritional factor destroyed on heating
  • used extensively in diets for all species
  • very useful in young monogastric diets
  • very safe high quality high protein feed
19
Q

What are soya hulls used for and what characteristics do they have?

A
  • used as a source of digestible fibre in ruminants and pig diets
  • safe feed — no antinutritional factor
  • low protein high fibre feed
  • supplies a very high digestible fibre so it is often used in ruminants
20
Q

What is rapeseed meal used for and what characteristics does it have as a feed?

A
  • used as a protein supplement
  • it is a medium energy high protein feed (not as much protein as soyabean meal though)
  • limited use in pig and poultry diets
  • often used to partially replace soyabean meal
  • contains antinutritional factors: glucosinolates that interfere with the function of the thyroid gland and erucic acid
21
Q

What is sunflower seed meal used for and what are its characteristics as a feed?

A
  • used as a protein supplement
  • low energy high protein feed
  • quality depends on protein and fibre content
  • OMD is quite low — low digestibility
  • sunflower hulls high in fibre
  • good source of methionine
22
Q

What is expelled palm kernel meal used for and what are its characteristics as a feed?

A
  • it is a medium energy, medium protein supplement
  • high fibre feed used as a cheap source of energy
  • used as a straight feed for ruminants in some areas
  • may contain aflatoxins
  • high oil content which is saturated
  • she’ll pieces may cause lameness if fed as a straight
  • low in lysine
23
Q

What is cottonseed meal used for and what are its characteristics as a feed?

A
  • cottonseed meal is a high protein supplement
  • low in lysine
  • limited use in pigs and poultry
  • may be sold on crude fibre/ crude protein low fibre/ high protein — which is the best
  • contains antinutritional factor called gossypol
  • may contain aflatoxins
