Feeds and Feeding Test 2 Flashcards
as fed (wet;fresh)
expression of nutrient concentration of a feedstuff in the wet form of that feedstuff
dry matter (moisture free)
expression of nutrient concentration of a feedstuff in the dry form of that feedstuff
air-dry
expression of nutrient concentration in a feedstuff in a 90% DM basis
conversion
%nutrient as fed / %feed dry matter = % nutrient dry matter / 100% dry matter
crude fiber is the hardest to
digest
methods for measuring energy
TDN - total digestible nutrients
calorie system
roughage/concentrate ration (R/C) system
TDN
uses chemical analysis to determine nutrient composition to get crude composistion
determine the digestibility of feed nutrients by a digestion trial to get digestion coefficient
calculate TDN
%dig prot + %dig fbr + %dig NFE + %dig fat * 2.25
TDN advantages
established
familiar
TDN diadvantages
considers only digestive losses
ignores energy losses via urine, gases and heat production
not expressed in energy terminology - % or wt. vs. calories
overestimates energy value of forges, sep. poor quality forages
NEm
maintenance
NEg
gain
NEp
production
NEl
lactation
Gross potential energy subtract __________ = ____________
fecal energy
digestible energy
digestible energy subtract _________ = ____________
urinary energy and gassous products
metabolic energy
metabolic energy subtract ___________ = ____________
heat increment
net energy maintenance (needs to be meet first) and net energy production
% roughage
100 - 65 = low energy
35 - 0 = high energy
% concentrate
0 - 35 = low energy
100 - 65 = high energy
physical evaluation
sight - forage species, color (natural color is desired, dark brown or black colors are unacceptable), % leaves on forage, weed contamination
smell - pleasing, smells are expected; no strong or moldy odors
taste - palatable
cost per unit of nutrient
unit weight * nutrient concentration = amt of nutrient
cost of feed/ amount of nutrient = cost/unit of nutrient
facet 1
original material
facet 2
parts of the material used
facet 3
process and treatment
facet 4
stage of maturity
facet 5
cutting
facet 6
grade
facet 1 - 1
dry/forages/roughages - >18% crude fiber
decreased in net energy
straws, legumes and different hays
facet 1 - 2
pasture, range plants, fresh forage
cut, not cut or feed fresh - wheatgrass
facet 1 - 3
silages - forages only; corn, alfalfa
facet 1 - 4
energy feeds; >20% cp, >18% cf (corn, milo, oats)
facet 1 - 5
protien supplements - increased protien <20% cp
animal - tankage, blood meal, meat & bone meal
vegatative - soybean meal, cottonseed meal
facet 1 - 6
mineral supplements (limestone, calcium carbonate)
facet 1 - 7
vitamin supplements (keratin, wheat germ)
facet 1 - 8
additives - antibiotics, hormones
carbonaceous concentrates
high energy
feed grain and byproducts
low in fiber
low in protien
fair in phosphorus
low in calcium
low in vitamin D, A, riboflavin, B12, panothenic acid
high in thiamine and niacin
protien quality - proteinaceous concentrates
kinds, amounts and ratio of AA
NPN only fed to ruminants - urea
AA must be supplied to nonruminants
EAA - proteinaceous concentrates
tryptophan - SBM, fish meal and milk products - high
lysine - milk products, fish products, SBM - high
threonine, histidine, arginine , isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine - grains
methionine - fish meal, SBM - good
glycine and glutamic acid - corn - good
