Past qs 4 Flashcards
For nutrition in ruminants, we divide the energy into 3 groups. What are they?
NEm NEl NEg
What is the meaning of PER?
Protein Efficiency Requirement ! weight gain of a test subject divided by its intake of a
particular food protein during the test period
In Hungary, protein requirement is given in CP for which animals?
CP - Birds
CP or DCP - Dogs, Cats
How is MP value calculated?
MP = MPE + MPN
When do we need zero N retention?
Adult bird - N intake = N output ! 0 N retention
Young/Growing bird - N intake > N output ! + N balance
Is N positive or negative in young animals?
Its positive!
Adult bird - N intake = N output ! 0 N retention
Young/Growing bird - N intake > N output - + N balance
What are pro-biotics made of?
Bacteria (mostly Lactobacilli), Fungi (yeast culutres)
Which 2 functions does adipose tissue have?
Storage and endocrine
What are the bacteria in the rumen protected by?
Competitive exclusion
What are repartitioning compounds?
β2-agonists - Increase proteins, decrease fat
What does Energy Density express?
How much energy there is in a feedstuff, related to its food unit
What mechanisms are responsible for short-term regulation of body composition?
The short-term regulation of feed intake (qualitative) is Homeostatic. Is controlled by
chemical factors such as blood glucose, feed, temperature, and physical factors such as
stomach capacity and food bulkiness.
What is NSP?
Non-Starch Polysaccharides -> e.g. Peas, beans. Roughage, dietary fibre.
Fermented in the caecum with gas productions
What is UDP?
Un-Digested Protein -> By-pass proteins. Proteins, which pass through the rumen without being digested
How would you determine Nutrient Digestibility by a total collection method?
Amount of feed intake during a 24-hour period + Collection of faeces
(Intake – Output) / Intake
Name an indicator in faeces:
Mn, Cr2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, Lignin (indigestible substances)
Organic matter = ?
DM – Ash
What is the combustion energy of uric acid?
34.4 KJ/g
What can one calculate with the content of urine?
ME = GE – Faecal – Urine – Gas NE = GE – Faecal – Urine – Gas – Heat loss
Why is it forbidden to use STH as a growth factor?
Long-term fat mobilization
