Test 1 Flashcards
Nutrition
Study of the processes where feed nutrients are presented to and utilized by living cells for productive processes
Nutrition affects
Reproduction Health Genetic potential Physical ability Emotional state Production
Feed accounts for how much production cost
45-76%
Basic nutrionists
Study metabolism, cellular and sub cellular biochemistry
Applied nutritionist
Cost effective animal feeding, real world problems
Antoine Lavoisier
1743-1794, French man, founder of science of nutrition, head of weights and measures, combustion
Nutrient
Any chemical, element or compound in the diet that supports normal reproduction, growth, lactation, or maintenance of life processes
Essential nutrient
Can’t be made by the body, can’t be synthesized in great enough quantities to support life processes
Nonessential nutrient
Can be made by the body
Essential nutrient classification
Water, carbs, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals
Monosaccharides
Glucose, fructose, galactose
Disaccharides
Lactose, sucrose, maltose
Polysaccharides

Fat soluble- absorbed with fat
Water soluble- not stored
Fat soluble vitamins

Energy
Carbs, fats, protein
Water
Most common substance found on earth
How many gallons of water does it take to produce 1 Lb of body weight
1368 gallons
Properties of water
Liquid at variety of temps Boils at 100 degrees C Freezes 0 degrees C High specific heat High surface tension High latent heat of vaporization Polar solvent
Functions of water
Transport medium Temperature regulator Lubricant Cell turgidity and shape Hydrolysis
Water requirement is influence by
Environment, diet, age and stage of production
Waters role in body heat regulation
Body heat production- cell is exothermic, activity, metabolism, digestion
Dissipation of heat- high specific heat and heat of vaporization
Conditions desirable for evaporative heat loss
Low humidity, air movement, plenty of drinking water
