Uni-pro soya
What does a complete premix contain?
Vitamins, Micro-elements, Macro-elements
What is the protein content of cereals (corn, wheat, barley, oat, rye)?
10-15% Low
What happens when lignin content increases?
Digestibility decrease and feed intake increases
What can lectins cause?
They adhere to the mucous membrane of the intestine and damage the absorption (Ca2+)
What is the highest dose of carbamide (urea) a cow can eat?
20-30g / 100kg BW
What does feed intolerance mean?
A reproducible, unpleasant reaction to a specific ingredient, which is biochemically or
physiologically based.
e.g. Lactase deficiency causes lactose intolerance
What is the result of Vitamin C deficiency in fish?
Scoliosis, Lordosis (both spinal deformities)
In investigation of feedstuff, you can detect:
Feather meal, Fish meal
What are the anti-nutritive factors of Vicia faba (horse bean)?
Tannin (Exam paper)
Lupinin and Spartein (Lecture notes)
How much Dry Matter content is there in fresh pasture grass?
20 – 30%
What is the anti-nutritive factor in alfalfa?
Saponin
What is the Discount Factor of corn silage?
- 053 = 5.3%
i. e. If the feeding level is increased by 1 unit; the digestibility decreases with 5.3%
What will happen if you give a lot of by-pass protein to the Dairy Cows?
Time between parturition and new Artificial Insemination (AI) will increase.
Protein content in cereals (corn etc.)?
10 – 14%
Very low
What can lectinins cause?
Difficulty in Ca2+ absorption
In which species has nutrition a role in ovulation?
Sheep. The status of the ova changes with change in energy.
They are used as silage additive:
All of them
i.e. Cereal grains. Molasses. Organic acids
What are molasses a good source of?
Energy and S
Which factors decrease digestibility of proteins?
CP content of diet should be minimum 9-11%. NH3 concentration in rumen fluid minimum 3-5
mmol/L
