NUTRITION AND FEEDING Flashcards
Physiological states requiring nutrients
- Maintenance
- Growth
- Fattening
- Reproduction
- Lactation
Nutrients classified as?
-Energy Nutrients
-Nutrients for tissue building, maintenance, and repair
-Nutrients for regulation of metabolic body processes
When the animal neither gaining nor losing weight
Maintenance
when tissue synthesis takes place in the young animal
Growth
when increased fat deposition becomes desirable
Fattening
when there is an increased for nutrients in ova/sperm production for fetal development in the geststing female
Reproduction
when the dam requires extra nutrients to sustain the production of milk for her litter without sacrificing her body reserves
Lactation
Example of Energy nutrients
Carbohydrate, fat, and proteins.
Example for butrinets for tissue building, maintenance and repair
Protein, minerals, and water
example for nutrients regulation of metabolic body processes
Water, proteins, fats, mineral and vitamins
How many elements of minerals required for Pigs?
Calcium (CA)
Chlorine (CI)
Copper (Cu)
Iodine (I)
Iron (Fe)
Magnesium (Mg)
Melenium (Mn)
Phosphorus (P)
Potassium (K)
Selenium (Se)
Sodium (Na)
Sulfur (Su)
Zinc (Zn)
Are organic compounds distinct from amino acid, carbohydrates and lipids
Vitamins
These are need in very small amounts, but are necessary for growth and production
Vitamins
2 classification in Vitamins
Fat soluble and water soluble
Act as coenzyme in carbohydrstes, fat, and protein metabolism
B-compled Vitamins
