Large Animal Nutrition

        Help!  

Term
Definition
show depend on enzymes in digestive tract, break down east to digest animal sourced nutrients, NO fermentation.  
🗑
Herbivores   show
🗑
Omnivores   show
🗑
Nutrient   show
🗑
Energy Producing Nutrients   show
🗑
Non-energy Producing Nutrients   show
🗑
Water   show
🗑
show -metabolism of ALL nutrients in the body, digestion, transport of solutes and gases, urine output, absorption/metabolism of water-soluble vitamins, body temp reg, electrolyte reg, lubricates joints and eyes.  
🗑
Protein   show
🗑
Protein Functions   show
🗑
show essential nutrient, cannot be synthesized by the body, must be supplied in diet. Non-essential can be synthesized by the body. Uses synthesis.  
🗑
Fats (lipids)   show
🗑
Fats Functions   show
🗑
show this deficiency causes poor hair coat, skin infections, wt loss, and decreased immune system.  
🗑
show sugars and starches, foods of plant origin, used mainly for energy  
🗑
Simple Carbohydrates   show
🗑
show -Starch -Glycogen -Fiber  
🗑
show nutrient often mistaken as a complex carbohydrate, found in plant sources of food, positive effects on health, resists enzymatic digestion. Soluble is fermentable, insoluble is passed into feces.  
🗑
show -Psyllium -Guar gum -Pectin -Beet pulp -Wheat bran -Cellulose  
🗑
Vitamins   show
🗑
show vitamins stored in the body, may accumulate to toxic levels (A, D, E, K).  
🗑
Water Soluble Vitamins   show
🗑
Minerals   show
🗑
Minerals (examples)   show
🗑
show levels of nutrients needed to sustain body wt without gain/loss, minimum level of dietary need, requirements are generally higher than the MNR. Used by livestock producers.  
🗑
show -body size, health status, stress, environment, exercise, behavior, genetics, reproductive status, gender, breed.  
🗑
show general measure of the nutritive value of feed.  
🗑
Gross Energy (GE)   show
🗑
Digestible Energy (DE)   show
🗑
show energy available to the animal after energy from feces, urine, and combustible gases have been subtracted from gross energy​, used to express the energy content of foods and commercial diets​.  
🗑
show actual portion of energy available to the animal for use in maintaining body values or during pregnancy or lactation.  
🗑
show any dietary component that provides some essential nutrient or serves some other function. Divided into categories: forages (roughage), concentrates, byproducts, mineral and vitamin supplements, non-nutritive additives.  
🗑
show provides bulk, flavor, odor, color, or act as an antioxidant.  
🗑
Forages   show
🗑
show feed low in fiber, high in energy/protein. Energy contained in starch & added to diet to increase energy density. Includes: cereal grains (barley, corn, millet, oats, rye, sorghum, wheat), molasses, root crops (beets, carrots), potatoes.  
🗑
show residues of the feed-processing industry, span wide variety of feedstuffs, contain substantial amounts of fermentable fiber, energy, and protein.  
🗑
show sources of individual/combo of minerals, with or without vitamins. Fat-soluble supplemented in premixes. Water-soluble usually supplemented in swine/horse diets. Yeast cultures are a good source of B-complex.  
🗑
Non-nutritive Additives   show
🗑
show these cows require forage and grain fed separately, can either have high protein concentrate/low protein forage or low protein concentrate/high protein forage. Forage free choice always, concentrates twice daily, silage 1-2 times/day.  
🗑
Dairy Cattle- Carbohydrate Intake   show
🗑
show these are received from concentrates, should be 5-6 % of total energy intake.  
🗑
show these are received by consuming Legume hay (alfalfa). Meet these needs during lactation and reproduction.  
🗑
Dairy Cattle- Colostrum   show
🗑
Diary Cattle- Cost   show
🗑
show feeding represents 75% of the cost of the production of these cows.  
🗑
show goal is to control profitability by attaining optimal nutrient intake with least cost. 2 areas: cow-calf production and finishing cattle.  
🗑
Goal of Cow-calf Production   show
🗑
show these cattle get energy mostly from carbohydrates, then protein, then fats. Need forages w/ significant fiber content, supply energy w/ silage or hay. Animal protein sources are NOT allowed.  
🗑
show need to be supplemented with minerals and salt (1-5 lbs/cow/day).  
🗑
Calves- Feeding   show
🗑
show sometimes these calves are put on another cow, feed like dairy cows, colostrum is still important.  
🗑
show time in the growth phase where cattle are fed to produce beef, maximum feed intake & wt gain without digestive upset, most 1-2 yrs old, high energy diets.  
🗑
Finishing Cattle- Feed Requirements   show
🗑
Sheep (Ewes/breeding)- Feeding   show
🗑
show require colostrum within 1st hour, start w/ milk replacer, weaned to solid feed at 3-4 wks. Need 16-20% protein.  
🗑
show 50-85 lbs.  
🗑
show over 85 lbs.  
🗑
show overeating dz, caused by overeating of grain rich rations, vacc at 2 months of age for lambs.  
🗑
Pigs- Feeding Cost   show
🗑
show last month of gestation in these breeding animals needs energy increase, lactation is the highest energy demand, feed sows twice a day, protein 11-12%, piglets need iron supplements.  
🗑
Starter Pigs   show
🗑
show pigs that need complete rations, fiber is used minimally, need amino acid supplements (Lysine, tryptophan, methionine, threonine).  
🗑
show largest cost of operation in horses.  
🗑
Horses- Feeding   show
🗑
Light Work Horses   show
🗑
show horses that require 1.5% of horses body wt in dry matter, grain should be 2-3 lbs per hour of activity  
🗑
show horses that require 1.5% of horses body wt in dry matter, grain should be over 4 lbs per hour of activity.  
🗑
Foals- Feeding   show
🗑
Creep Feeding   show
🗑
