PQ Flashcards
1) A high yielding dairy cow has an increased demand for … in her daily ration.
● MP
● NPN
● RDP
● UDP
● MP
Know measurements of oxidative rancidity + peroxide value + anside values for secondary oxidation products Acid number 15-40 = okay, above 80 = rancid Peroxide number 5-10 okay, above 10 rancid
2) Typical living circumstances of rumen flora & fauna:
● Strictly anaerobic system
● Continuous acid production
● Almost constant pH
● All
● All
3) The energy requirement of ruminants is expressed with this unit of measure:
● MJ / kg feed
● MJ / kg DM
● kJ / kg DM
● MJ / day
● MJ / day
Mj/kg feed in other animals Mj/day used in cows
4) When using the proximate analysis of feeds, it is calculated (not chemically determined) value of the feed:
● Water content
● Nitrogen-free extract (NfE)
● Both
● Neither
● Both
In proximate analysis water content, NfE and OM are calculated. The rest is found out by chemical tests
5) In close-up dry cows, the negative DCAD diet:
● Increases blood calcium levels by mobilisation calcium from bone and increased absorption from the gut
● Reduces blood calcium levels by mobilisation calcium from bone and excreting through the kidneys
● Increases blood calcium levels by higher reabsorption of phosphorus through kidneys
● Reduces blood calcium levels by reduced absorption of calcium from the intestine and increased gastrointestinal loss
● Increases blood calcium levels by mobilisation calcium from bone and increased absorption from the gut
6) Disease caused by selenium deficiency
● White muscle disease
● Lethal acrodermatitis
● Alimentary infertility
● Alkali disease
● White muscle disease
7) CAB value reflects the effects of … on the acid-base status.
● Dietary organic cations and anions
● Dietary inorganic cations and anions
● Both of organic and inorganic cations and anions
● Dietary supplements
● Dietary inorganic cations and anions
8) In this animal, the blood serum is used to control the beta-carotene supply:
● Sheep
● Horse
● Both
● Neither
● Both
9) It can be used for flushing in sows:
● Mg
● Vitamin C
● Vitamin E
● Biotin
● Biotin
- Flushing in: Su: Biotin and folic acid
- Eq: B-carotene, Vit A, E and Se
- Sheep/goat: Zn
10) Its quantity in the feed is determined by Kjeldahl methods:
● Nitrogen-free extract (NfE)
● Ether Extract (EE)
● Crude Protein (CP)
● Crude Fibre (CF)
● Crude Protein (CP)
CP - Kjeldahl method
EE - Soxhlet method
Inorganic compounds - Muffle furnace analysis
11) What is the meaning of RDP ?
● Readily Digestible Polysaccharide
● Rapidly Degradable Protein
● Rumen Degradable Polysaccharide
● Rumen Degradable Protein
● Rumen Degradable Protein
12) In case of lactic acidosis these bacteria are dominant in the rumen:
● Ruminobacter amylophylus
● Ruminococcus albus
● Streptococcus bovis
● All
● Streptococcus bovis
Streptococcus Bovis degrades starch into lactic acid mostly therefore we will see lactacidosis
13) The … paper contains the priority of EU’s food safety policy.
● Blue
● Yellow
● White
● Red
● White
14) The most important anti-nutritive factors in full-fat soybean are
● Goitrogens
● Tannic acids
● Trypsin inhibitors
● Gossypols
● Trypsin inhibitors
Soy bean = Lectins and trypsin inhibitors
Rapeseeds = Tannic acid, erucic acid, glucosinolates
Linseed = Linamarin
15) Which statement is false for green forages ?
● These are cheap and palatable feeds
● Their nutrient contents quite variable
● With the maturity, the digestibility of their nutrient contents improves
● These are generally low in readily available carbohydrates
● With the maturity, the digestibility of their nutrient contents improves
Green foraged = cheap, voluminous (lot of water or air but little DM)
16) Characteristics of silage making:
● Conservation by aerobic fermentation
● High-moisture forage conserved
● Acetic acid produced mainly
● Chopping followed by wilting
● High-moisture forage conserved
Harvest and chopping of high moisture forage + anaerobic fermentation in silo (press aur out) + cover to stay anaerobic - lactic acid will be produced
Haylage = low moisture
At first, there will always be O2 left but this will be used up by plants enzymes which will produce water and heat - this should take one day - if it takes too long the heat will be too much and the silage will be bad quality
Facultative bacteria will start fermentation and produce VFAs and this period should also be short (transitional phase) - the pH will be lowered so that lactobacilli will grow.
Now lactobacilli will grow and lower the pH - low pH will block all the other bacteria and then when it gets too low it will stop the growth of the lactobacilli itself and we will have STEADY STATE
17) Which vitamin does not have an energy-releasing function ?
● Vitamin B1
● Vitamin B2
● Vitamin B6
● Biotin
● Vitamin B6
18) If wet beet pulp is given to the dairy cow, the daily ration must supplemented with
● Protein
● Fibre
● Both
● Neither
● Both
Sugar beet pulp is high in energy - NfE = risk of rumen acidosis due to high amount of readily available carbohydrates like sucrose
• Very low in protein
• Low in fibre
These feedstuffs, that is the limiting essential a.a.:
- Lys
- Trp
- Met
- Thr

……Fodder Pea………
…………Lupin…………
…Full-Fat soy bean…..
Met
(Lys higher than Met in grain legumes)

This mycotoxin has a pronounced immunosuppressive effects:
T-2
DON
Both
Neither
Both
(Vomitox in DON)
Biochemical marker used for control of specific mineral supply
Selenium
Vitamin B6
Ferritin
Coeruloplasmin
Coeruloplasmin
Biochemical markers (functional forms)
- Vitamin B12 rather than cobalt
- Triiodothyronine rather than copper
- Glutathione peroxidase rather than selenium
- Copper (copper: zinc) superoxide dismutase
- What is this feedstuff ?
- Wheat bran
- Brewers grains
- Malt sprouts
- Extracted sunflower meal

Malt sprouts
Which statement is false ?
EU’s food safety policy is to keep contaminants away from feed
The feed safety does not consider the hazards caused by new and unconventional agro-industrial by products.
Feeds can cause the contamination of foods
Consignments of non-animal origin feeds have not controlled by TRAECES
The feed safety does not consider the hazards caused by new and unconventional agro-industrial by products.
It can bind mycotoxins (ex: Aflatoxin):
Zeolite
ZnO
MgO
Lecithin
Zeolite - Zeolite and bentonite bind aflatoxin
Lecthin = an antinutritive factor
Decrease the amount of antinutritives + genetic engineering of plants + fermentation cooking etc + heat + exogenous phytates
