Q
FA digestibility is affected by… (3)
A
position on FA (beta is the least digested)
more digestion for shorter chain
more digestion for more unsaturated
12
Q
Sources of lipids in Feeds (3)
A
- Rendering (animal fats)
- Hydrolyzed animal fat (soap making)
- Off-grade vegetable oils
13
Q
Details of the rendering industry (2)
A
- separates bone from fat and protein
2. yields fat and protein meal
14
Q
Feed lipid categories (6)
A
Animal fat Poultry fat blended feed fat vegetable oils blended animal and vegetable fats vegetable soapstock
15
Q
Reasons for lipid supplementation (12)
A
- provide energy (2.25 more than a starch)
- Increase palatablilty
- Provide fat soluble vitamins
- Essential FAs (linolenic, linoleic, arachidonic)
- Alleviate heat stress - the decreased heat increment allows them to eat without feeling hot in the heat
- Dust control
- Lubrication of feed equipment (last long)
- Improve diet handling (pellets, no crumbling)
- Pigment (egg yolks) - carries carotenoids
- Reduce mortality at birth (fat stores, milk production, milk fat)
- Laxative (prevents constipation and therefore mastitis in pigs)
- Bloom in show animals (hair quality)
16
Q
Functions of Essential FA (5)
A
- lipid transport
- make connective tissue
- structural component in mitochondria
- in enzyme systems
- in prostaglandins
17
Q
Symptoms of not having Essnt. FAs (5)
A
- kidney lesion
- dermatitis on back and feet
- cessation of growth
- necrosis of tail
- reproductive failure
