Test 2: lecture 2 and 3 Flashcards
Dietary nutrients must be___ prior to utilization
hydrolized
It is necessary to utilize ingredient ___ because this determines availability of energy and nutrients in the diet
digestibilities
final digestion values can be predicted from digestion ___ for each ingredient and amount of inclusion
•is the preparation of food for absorption
digestion
•is disappearance of food from the gastrointestinal tract
digestibility
digestibility is influenced by
passage rate
- frequency of feeding
- Influenced by processing and preparation
- Influenced by associative effects of other feeds
- Influenced by digestive disturbances
- Influenced by species
problems with measuring digestibility by feces
- Indigestible feed residue
- Endogenous fecal losses•Secretion of enzymes, mucus•Sloughing of intestinal cells•Bacterial cell residues
- Nutrient content of feces is not just indigestible feed residue contains other things that makes measurements incorrect
•Estimating endogenous losses is difficult for protein, fat, carbohydrate– particularly a problem in estimating digestibility of ___ and certain minerals
protein
how to estimate endogenous output of protein in feces
- Regression of fecal content against increasing feed content
- Y intercept represents endogenous losses of the nutrient
Endogenous CP losses = .6527/22.4 kg DMI = 2.7% of dry matter intake
a way to measure apparent digestibility
total feed intake and total collection of feces
a way to measure apparent digestibility
- Must be total inert in the digestive tract
- Indicator must through GIT at same rate as feed
- Digestibility of nutrient based on relative concentration in feed and feces
indicator method to measure apparent digestibility uses ___
- Must be total inert in the digestive tract
- Indicator must through GIT at same rate as feed
- Digestibility of nutrient based on relative concentration in feed and feces
what is a common indicator used to measure apparent digestibility in ruminants
lignin
measure apparent digestibility for CP using the indicator method
•High digestibility – more ___ available for absorption
nutrients
•Higher requirements such as ____ need more digestible diet to deliver energy in the amount consumed
pregnancy or lactation
•Large breed dogs have ___gut transit than small breed dogs; ___the digestibility of same feed ingredients
more rapid
lowers
digestibility decreases as feed intake ___
increases
the more you eat the faster the food moves through the GI tract
type A antinutritives interfere with the digestion of ___
protein
2 types of type A antinutritives
type A stops protein digestion
- Protease inhibitors (of trypsin and chymotrypsin)•Soybeans and legumes, pulses, milk, wheat, potatoes
- Lectin•Plant proteins bind to cell receptors and inhibit absorption
- Ricin in castor bean
- Cooking – moist heat destroys the activity of many of these compounds
type B antinutritives interfere with the absorption of ___
minerals
Some type B antinutritives
interfere with minerals
- Phytic acid - effects many bivalent and trivalent metal ions and trace elements•Cereals, legumes, vegetables, nuts, seeds•Phytase treatment of grains can reduce effects
- Oxalic acid – calcium binding•Coffee, rhubarb
- Glucosinolates – goitrogens•Brassica species, cabbage, legumes•Inhibit Iodine uptake or effect thyroxin activity
type C antinutritives interfere with ___
vitamins
some type C antinutritives
antivitamins
•Cause decomposition, form complexes which interfere with absorption, or inhibit digestion and metabolism•
Ascorbic acid oxidase in fruits
- Antithiamine factors•thiaminase, catechols and tannins (fish, bracken fern, tea)
- Pyridoxine antagonists (B6) - mushrooms
balance trials combine digestion with ___
animal utilization
measure everything in and out(feces,urine,gasses)
weight change, growth, milk ect
an animal is in balance if energy absorbed =
energy expended
limiting nutrient in positive balance
animal may be getting the correct overall energy but if one aspect is not enough growth will be reduced or gain will contain more fat and less lean tissue
everything needs to be balanced
•___ nutrients must be supplied in the diet
Essential
depends on species
