30
What is the meaning of PER?
Protein Efficiency Requirement ! weight gain of a test subject divided by its intake of a particular food protein during the test period
31
In Hungary, protein requirement is given in CP for which animals?
CP - Birds | CP or DCP-Dogs, Cats
32
How is MP value calculated?
MP = MPE + MPN
33
When do we need zero N retention?
Adult bird - N intake = N output - 0 N retention Young/Growing bird- N intake > N output - + N balance
34
Is N positive or negative in young animals?
Positive | Adult bird - N intake = N output- 0 N retention Young/Growing bird - N intake > N output-+ N balance
35
What are pro-biotics made of?
Bacteria (mostly Lactobacilli), Fungi (yeast culutres)
36
What are repartitioning compounds?
β2-agonists- Increase proteins, decrease fat
37
What does Energy Density express?
How much energy there is in a feedstuff, related to its food unit.
38
What mechanisms are responsible for short-term regulation of body composition?
The short-term regulation of feed intake (qualitative) is Homeostatic. Is controlled by chemical factors such as blood glucose, feed, temperature, and physical factors such as stomach capacity and food bulkiness.
39
What is NSP?
Non-Starch Polysaccharides - e.g. Peas, beans. Roughage, dietary fibre. Fermented in the caecum with gas productions
40
How would you determine Nutrient Digestibility by a total collection method?
Amount of feed intake during a 24-hour period + Collection of faeces (Intake – Output) / Intake
41
Organic matter = ?

43
What is the combustion energy of uric acid?
34.4 KJ/g
44
What can one calculate with the content of urine?

45
Why is it forbidden to use STH as a growth factor?
Long-term fat mobilization
46
What is the buffer capacity in milk, egg shell, and bone?
Egg shell and bone have the same buffer capacity. Milk has none.
47
What is disbisois?
Disbiosis-A condition where the typical distribution of microbes in the body is disturbed- Microbial imbalance
48
How can energy metabolism be measured?
``` Direct calorimeter (bio-calorimeter) Indirect calorimeter ```
49
What is the acid number?
Acid Number - The mass of KOH (in mg) required to neutralize 1g of chemical substance. It is a measure of rancidity of fat.
50
What is the peroxide value?
