🗑
roughages   feeds that contain higher fiber such as hay, pasture grasses and silage.  
🗑
concentrates   feeds that contain less fiber such as grains, plant and animal proteins and processed by-products.  
🗑
some livestock producers   commercially prepared feeds  
🗑
large scale producers   mix their own ration of feed  
🗑
maintenance   basic nutrient requirements to keep vital body processes functioning.  
🗑
A ration should fit   amounts and kinds of nutrients an animal needs based on the status or function of the animal.  
🗑
Working animals   police dogs, ranch horses, etc. would fall into this classification.  
🗑
fattening   storage of nutrients not used for other functions  
🗑
Reproduction   gestations, parturition and lactation  
🗑
production   milk, eggs, wool, etc  
🗑
growth   increasing the size of bones, muscles, organs and connective tissue.  
🗑
carbohydrates   main energy nutrients made up of sugars, starches, cellulose and gums, found in the largest quantities in livestock feed, chemically composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.  
🗑
fats and oils   2.25 times the energy value of carbohydrates, at body temperature, fats are solid and oils are liquid. They carry the fatsoluble vitamins  
🗑
fats   Fat is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen  
🗑
proteins   organic compounds made up of amino acids and contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur, phosphorus and iron.  
🗑
vitamins   trace organic compounds, all contain carbon.  
🗑
minerals   inorganic materials or compounds needed in small amounts. Contain no carbon.  
🗑
water   makes up 40%-80% of an animal’s body.  
🗑
function of protein   supply material to build body tissues such as muscles, skin and hair.  
🗑
function of vitamins   - help regulate many body functions and are designated by letters such as A, B-complex, D, E, K  
🗑
function of proteins   supply material to build body tissues such as muscles, skin and hair.  
🗑

🗑
function carbohydrates   provide energy.  
🗑
Common carbohydrate sources include   cereal grains such as corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley and sorghum.  
🗑
plant sources of protein   included soybean meal, cottonseed meal and alfalfa meal.  
🗑
animal sources of protein   meat meal, fish meal, dried milk and synthetic nitrogen source of urea.  
🗑
feed suplements   livestock producers may add molasses to food for taste and to reduce feed dust.  
🗑
function of water   helps dissolve other nutrients and carry them to different parts of the body and is a vital factor in nutrition  
🗑
function of minerals   provide material for growth of bones, teeth and body tissue and regulate many of the vital chemical body processes  
🗑
function of legumes   put nitrogen in the soil  
🗑
function of grass   takes nitrogen from soil  
🗑
examples of grasses   wheat, corn, fescue  
🗑
examples of legumes   soybeans, alfalfa, clover  
🗑
roughage is   more than 18% fiber  
🗑
concentrate   less than 18% fiber  
🗑
