General Poultry and livestock Feeding Flashcards
(107 cards)
rationing feeds
short of the proper volume or
standard requirement in both
quantity an nutritional level.
Underfeeding
giving more feed
beyond the standard level both in
volume and in nutritional requirement
thus resulting to a very expensive feed
ration with low net return
Overfeeding
feeding enough
feedstuff with unbalanced nutritional
level, which usually results to
nutritional deficiency as when giving
ration rich in carbohydrates but less
in protein
Unbalanced feeding
Chemical substances found in feed
materials that can be used, and are
necessary for the maintenance,
production, and health of animals
Nutrients
needed by animals in
definite amounts varying with age,
function, use etc.
Nutrients
the part of a
feedstuff that can be digested, or
broken down
digestible nutrient
efficient users
of roughage.
Ruminants and horses
Three Basic Functions of
Feed Nutrients
- As structural materials
- As sources of energy
- As regulators
for
building and maintaining the body
structure
Proteins, minerals, fats and water
As structural materials
for heat
production, work, and/or fat
deposition
Carbohydrates, fats and proteins
. As sources of energy
body
processes/activities and as
constituents of body-produced
regulators
Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and
fatty acids
As regulators
Reasons Why Animals Need
Feed
Maintenance
Growth
Reproduction
Lactation
Working
Other products and uses
The total amount of feed an animal gets in
a 24 hour period.
Ration
A ration that provides all of the nutrients
needed by the animal in the right amount
and proportion
Balanced ration
Type and amount of feed and water an
animal eats
Diet
Six types of Materials that
Provide Nutrients
- carbohydrates
- fats
- proteins
- vitamins
- minerals
- water
More abundant and cheaper
Very easily digested and turned into
body fat
Easier storage than fats. Major sources are corn, oats, hay,
soybean oil meal and grain sorghum.
carbohydrates
Meat scraps, tankage, cottonseed and
fish meal are examples.
fats
Complex compounds made of amino
acids
In all plant and animal cells
tells the amount of protein
Plants make their own protein
Tankage, soybean meal, legume hay,
blood meal, feather meal, fish meal and
skim milk.
protein
the inorganic elements of
animals and plants
Determined by burning off the organic
matter and weighing the residue
(called Ash)
minerals
vitamins that are most important with animals
A, D, B
Most important of all nutrients.
water
how many minerals are needed by animals
18
6 macrominerals needed by animals
calcium, salt, phosphorus, magnesium,
potassium and sulfur.
