Protein Concentrates Flashcards
What are the six nutrients?
Water, Carbohydrates, Protein, Minerals, Vitamins, Lipids
___ %, except water, in all living organisms and animals
Highest
All cells ___ proteins
synthesize
Range from very ___ to highly
insoluble; soluble
Protein functions on the body include:
Protection Digesting (Pepsin) Metabolization of nutrients (enzymes) Stimulating growth (hormones) Defense (immunoglobulins)
Proteins are made up of long chains of ___
amino acids
A source of amino acids must ___
be provided
Limiting amino acids in monogastrics vary but include:
Lysine
Methionine
Tryptophan
What does BV stand for?
Biological Value
What does biological value measure?
the portion of dietary protein that when consumed are retained by the animal
Most proteins source in feeding animals are ___% digestible
75-80%
A high biological value indicates
Closer to the animals needs the higher the BV will be
By-Pass Protein Undegradable Intake Protein (UIP) escapes ___ and improves ___
Degradation by microbes; protein efficiency on NPN sources
What is the associative effect?
Blending protein sources to improve balance of amino acids in the diet
What is deamination?
Excess amino acids are absorbed and the NH2 group is removed for new amino acids or converted to urea and excreted in urine. The remaining Carbon structure is used to generate energy.
What are four signs of protein deficiency?
Poor growth rate
Reduced milk production
Reduced fertility
High infant death rate
Excess dietary protein is ___ and causes/can cause ___
Expensive; loose feces and death from toxicity
What are five sources of protein supplements?
Animal Plant Marine Microbial Urea/Biuret
___ is the most limiting amino acid in monogastrics
Methionine
Vitamin ___ is low in soybean oil meal
B
Soybean oil meal is quite ___, highly ___ and has a ___ value
palatable; digestible; high energy
Protein concentrates include:
Oil meals (sunflower,linseed) Distillers or brewery products Animal origins Marine protein sources Single cell proteins NPN
Cottonseed meal is a good but ___ product
variable quality
Cottonseed meal is low in ____ amino acids
cystine, methionine and lysine
