Module 6 -Feed Principle In Ruminant Animals Flashcards
Amino acid contains how many percent of nitrogen
16 percent
. In an excellent protein source
High quality alfalfa
Oil seen meals that are excellent protein source in supplementation program for range cattle
Cottonseed meal
Soybean meal
Canola meal
Major carbohydrates in crude fiber of plants into products ruminant can use
Digest or breakdown cellulose
In laboratory feed evaluation, the crude protein content is estimated by measuring what?
Feed nitrogen concentration
In ruminant excess protein is broken down and used as what?
Energy source
This cattle should be feed only protein supplements containing natural protein
Cattle maintained under range forage conditions
Are frequently placed in protein supplement feed to ruminant to reduce the cost of supplementation
Non- protein nitrogen
Where do dietary protein is ingested
Rumen
Microflora uses what to synthesize microbial protein?
Nitrogen portion
Where do several microbial cells are digested
Abomasum and small intestine
Where do bypass protein (blood meal and feather meal) are digested
Abomasum and small intestine
Provide effective method for improving performance of those animals maintained on low-protein feed
By pass protein
How many major and trace minerals are required daily for normal health and well-being of grazing animals
Seven major and six trace minerals
. Remaining 20 percent of phosphorus is found where?
Where it play a major role in cell metabolism
Soft tissues
High calcium, low in phosphorus
Forage and roughage
Low calcium, high in phosphorus
Grain
Is bitter and unpalatable when fed by itself
Also shown to increase reproductive efficiency and milk production in forage fed cattle
Phosphorus
Can be extremely toxic at high levels yet under some range situation, supplementation has improved cattle performance
Trace element COPPER
increases as the level of animals activity increases
Maintenance requirement
.commonly provided by injection or through supplementation
Vitamin A
Storage of vitamin A
Liver
Percent of production cost of feed
60%
Most limiting nutrient
Energy/ calories
Most expensive nutrient
Protein
Cheapest feed ingredient
Water
Necessary to maintain a healthy rumen environment and prevent digestive upsets
Fiber (bulk)
Primary and most economical source of nutrients for sheep and goat
Pasture, forbs and browse
Tend to be in high in energy and protein when it is in a vegetative state
Pasture
During early part of grazing season they tend to be higher in protein and energy than other ordinary pasture
Browse (woody plants, vines and brush)
Forbs( weeds)
Are natural browsers and have the ability to select plants when they are at their most nutritious state.
Goat
Is the primary source of nutrients for small ruminant during the winter or non-grazing season
Tend to be a moderate source of protein and energy for sheep and goat
