Question	Answer
nutrition	chemical element or compound that aids in the support of life
Ration	the amount and kind of feed given to animal on a daily basis.
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 of fats and oils	furnish 2-25 times the energy value of carbohydrates and carry fat- soluble vitamins. Often provided by the grains and protein concentrates fed to the animal
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
