What are the 7 Proximate Analysis
Moisture
Ash
Nitrogen
Crude Fat
Crude Fiber
Gross Energy
Calcium and Phosphorus
What is Dry Matter?
How much moisture %
What temperature is Dry Matter heated to?
105C
What are the 2 formulas for calculating DM?
Final weight/ initial weight * 100 = DM
or
100 - % H2O = DM%
Why is DM important?
Most feed analysis is reported and conducted on DM basis
What is Ash
Estimate of inorganic material
What is the feed heated to and for how long?
Heat feed at 600 C for 6 hours in muffle furnace
What is the formula for Ash?
Starting weight - final weight
What are the two major method for calculating Nitrogen
Kjeldhal Method and Combustion Method
Protein contain what?
Nitrogen
Are all nitrogen compounds protein?
No
What is the formula for calculating crude protein
%=%N x 6.25
How do you extract Crude Fat
Ether extract, using ether or organic solvent to remove lipids.
What are 2 examples organic solvents?
Petroleum ether or ethanol
What is the is an important step when extracting fat
Must be air dry
Use extract
oven dry
Take final weight
What is crude fiber? Examples
All the fiber in the diet.
Hemicellulose, Cellulose
What must be removed before calculating crude fiber
Fat
What are the 3 steps to get the Crude fiber
- Boiling (refluxing) in a weak Acid
- Filtering and boiling in a weak Base
- Filtering and ashing
What is the formula to find crude fiber
(Extracted and acid/basic digested sample - ash residue)/ initial sample * 100 = %CF
What are the disadvantages for CF
low repeatability, some hemicelluloses are dissolved, protein can be bound in insoluble forms
What is NDF
Neutral Detergent Fiber
What is ADF
Acid Detergent Fiber
What is in ADF
Cellulose and Lignin
What is in NDF
Cellulose, Lignin and Hemicellulose
