Thiamine (Vitamin B1)
beriberi, energy production, abnormalities in nervous sytem
Vitamin C deficiency
scurvy, iron absorption, haemorrhaging
Cl- metabloite
electrolyte
I-
thyroid homrones
Fl-
dentine
Br-
ECM
estimated average requirement
connentration of nutrient to satisfy 50% of the population
recommended dietary allowance
concentration of nutirent required to satisfy the needs of the 97.5% of the population
hypoatremia
metabloic condition in whcih there is not enough sodium in extracellular fluid
proximate analysis - moisture
weight food sample then dry at 105 degrees or freeze dry,
% dry matter = dry/wet x100
errors: over estimates moisture, drying method removes volatile compounds
proximate analysis - crude fat
extract with ether, analyze with gas chromotography
% crude fat= weight of fat/ wet or dry weight x100%
errors: poor extraction of P.L unwanted extraction of cholophyl, carotenoids and waxes
proximate analysis - mineral content
ignite residue,
% ash = weight of ash/ wet or dry weight
errors: loss of volatile minerals (iron, copper, zinc), no info about individual minerals
proximate analysis- crude protien
kjeldal analysis 1. digestion by sulferic acid into N and amonia 2. distilliation - separating the amonia 3. tiration - quantify the amonia with standard
% crude protein = N in smaple x conversion factor/ wet or dry weight x100%
100% protein/ % N = conversion factor
rproximate analysis- crude fibre
- extract with ether, boil in acid 2. boil in alaki (small intestine) 3. ignite ash + crude fibre 4. get crude fibre by subtracting amoutn of ash
% crude fiber= (wt of ash + crude fiber) - wt of ash / dry or wet sample x100%
errors: over estimates fiber -> loss of soluble fiber, dosen’t give fermentation potenital
crude fiber vs. dietary fiber
crude - lignin and cellulose
dietary - cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, gums, lignin
proximate analysis - nitrogen free extract
% NFE = 100% - (%moisture- %crude fat -%ash - %crude protein - %crude fibre)
errors: accumulates errors, deosn’t differentiate between sugars
van soest method
alternative to NFE, agriculture use, can differentaite between cellulose hemi- and lignin
southgate method
more for human use, provides quantification of sugars, starch, fiber (total)
total collection method
adapt to diet for 7-21 days, measure intake for 3-10 days, measure and wight feces and analyze for nutrient
apparent digestibility coefficiet = totoal intake- total feces/ total intake
limitations: accuracy, labour intensive, costly not ideal for wild animals
indicator method
requires a marker internal and external
apparent digestbility coefficient = (nutirent/marker in feed) - (nutrietn/ marker in feces) / nutirent / marker in feed
advantages: less labour intensive, small sample, wild animals
true digesability
swtich to a 0 nutreitn diet, analyze until previous diet is cleared
true digestibility coeffecient = (nutrient/marker in feed) - (nutirent/feces - nutrient/feces after 0 nutirent diet) / (nutrient/marker in feed
gross energy, digesable energy, metablizable energy, net energy
gross energy: max amount, heat of combustion
digestiable energy: gross energy x apparent digestibility
fat - 95%, protein 92%, CHO 97%
metabloic energy: GE x apparent digestability, (same as DE), protein 1.25 kcal/g loss in urine
net energy: ME- heat increment of food
