Intro to Ani Nutri Flashcards
(60 cards)
edible material needed by animal for growth, health, and reproduction
feed
feed given to animals for one day
ration
animals possessing compound stomach
ruminants
animals with simple stomach
non ruminants
substances needed by animals to sustain life
nutrients
feed with high fiber content and low protein
roughage
feed with high protein content and low fiber
concentrates
feed material for ruminant animals, either fresh or dry, but usually cereals
fodder crops
fermented forage crops
silage
fresh forage crops
soilage
any feed constituent which may function in the nutritive support of the animal
nutrient
any feed low (below 20%) in crude fiber and high (over 60%) TDN on an air-dry basis
concentrate
any feed high in (over 20%) in crude fiber and low (under about 60%) in TDN, on an air-dry basis
roughage
basic functions of feed nutrients
• build and maintains body structure
• source of energy for heat production, work and/or fat deposition
• regulate body processes/activities and as constituents of body-produced regulators
6 basic classes of nutrients
• water
• carbohydrates
• proteins
• fat
• minerals
• vitamins
most basic nutrient because of its active and structural participation in life
water
cheapest nutrient required in largest amount
water
3 sources of water
• drinking water
• water in food
• metabolic water
functions of water
• solvent that transports nutrients in the body and in which waste products are excreted
• regulates body temperature
• involved in chemical reaction brought about by enzymes
neutral chemical compounds with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
carbohydrates
main component of all plants and many seeds
carbohydrates
plants store energy in the form of carbohydrates
starch
“grape sugar” primary form utilized for energy production
glucose
“fruit sugar” sweetest among the naturally occurring carbohydrates
fructose
