Minerals

minerals are substances found in food that your body needs for growth and health. There are two kinds of minerals: macrominerals and trace minerals. Macrominerals are minerals your body needs in larger amounts.

Sodium's Function

Regulation of osmotic pressure and pH in an animals body fluid

Cobalt function

Structural component of vitamin B12

Iodine function

Component of thyroid hormone

Iron

Essential constituent of hemoglobin in the blood and myoglobin in muscle tissues

Vitamins

Organic substances required by animal tissuses in very small amounts

Vitamin A function

Helps vision and maintainig the epithelial cells

Vitamin D function

Involved in calcium absorption and bone deposition

Vitamin E function

Metabolic antioxidant

Vitamin K function

Required for normal blood clotting

When is the best time to cut legumes or grass to make hay

When the blooms first begin to appear

3 steps to making hay

Cutting


Curing


Storing

Pasture

An improved or unimproved plant material on land areas where animals graze

Green chop

Herbage that has been cut and chopped in the field and fed fresh to live stock in confinement

Silage

Chopped plant material that has been fermented

Haylage

Silage that contains less than 50% moisture

How to make silage

Plant materials are ensiled under anaerobic condition. It is then undergoes controlled fermentation thst produces acid which kills off bacteria/mold ect. It is then packed tightly into bunker silos or upright silos to keep its optimal dryness of 30-45%

What is the ideal pH of silage

Atmost 4.2

Corn characteristics

Corn can ether be ground, cracked or rolled

Sorghum or milo

Small round, relatively hard seeds

Batley grain

Brown seeds

Advantage of molasses

Maximize rumen productivity, reduce dust, aid pellet quality and serve as medium for feeding medication

Disadvantages of molasses

Can create problems with mixing and equipment handling at the feed mill

Whats kelp meal made from

Seaweed

Protien quality

Measure of how much the amino acid content of a protien supplement resembles the amino acid requirements of the animal to be fed

Plant source of protien supplements

Oilseeds


Cotton seeds


Soybean meal

Names of oilseeds

Canola


Linseed


Peanut


Sunflower


Safflower meals

Animal protien source

Blood meal


Feather meal


Meat meal

Non nitrogen protien supplements

Urea


Biuret

Distillery and Brewery by-products

Distillers dried grain


Brewers dried grain


Corn gluten meal

Buffers

Added to counter act acid generated by ruminal fermentation of grain

Antioxidants

Added to a fourth of feeds to protect polyunsaturated fats from oxidative rancidity

Hormones

(Synthetic steriods) improves feed efficiency and rate gain and manipulates estrous cycle to control animals heat cycle

Antibiotics and chemotherapuetic agents

Direct fed microbials and probiotics

Microbes that aid in esthablishing a healthy microbiota composition in the animals intestines

Yeast and yeast culture

Stimulatie the growth of specific types of bacteria that utilize lactic acid

Enzymes

Are produced by animals and microbes that inhabit the digestive system

Mold inhibitors and mycotoxin binders

Instrument used to sample grain

Grain probe

Instrument used to sample hay

Core sampler

How to determine ash content

(Wt of crucible+ash)-wt of crucible


÷ ×100


Wt of sample

Parts of a soxgelt apparatus

Extractor(holds sample)


Condenser(cooling and condensing vapor)


250ml flask

Equation for crude protien

Nitrogen content × 6.25

Ether extract equation

(Wt of flask+extract)-wt of flask ÷ ×100 Wt of sample

Nitrogen free extract equation

100-(%moisture+%CF+%CP+%EE+%Ash)

Equipment used to find energy content in feedstuff

Oxygen bomb calorimeter

Calorie

Heat required to raise temp of 1g of water 1c

Gross energy

Amount of heat produced when feed is completely oxidized

Digestible energy

Amount of energy absorbed after its been consumed and digested

Metabolize energy

Net energy avalible to an animal after the utilization of some energy in the process of digestion and absorption

Total digestible nutrients

Method to estimate engery content of feed

Net energy

Energy available to ingester for metabolic purposes
