|
|
Reasons to process grain
|
$$, alter particle size, change moisture/density of feed, > nutrient availability and digestibility, detoxify undesirable ingredients, reduce storage and transportation costs, lessens molds, enhances rumen by-pass
|
|
Reasons to process roughage
|
Forced feeding of entire plant (including stem).
May be disadvantage to higher producing animals, but it is profitable for average animals in a farm. |
|
Ralgro
|
Zeranol is an anabolic agent (produce more meat).
Not a hormone. Enhances retention of N (protein deposition). Increases ADG and FE. |
|
Why should forages not be finely ground when fed to lactating dairy cows?
|
Because they need more fiber to produce the more butterfat.
|
|
Ensiling
|
The process of making silage.
Needs 2-3 weeks to ferment anaerobically. |
|

|
45-55% water content usually is stored in silo in order to keep moisture content.
|
|
Silage
|
65-75% water content
|
|
Legume
|
A type of plant that traditionally prosses higher protein content(why- because of the ability to fix atmosphere nitrogen through the symbiotic relationship with the bacteria found in its nodule)
|
|
Hay
|

|
|
Feed additives that decrease gas formation
|
What are Ionophores?
|
|
What do probiotics do?

|
|
Pericarp
|
The process of removing the outer coarse coat.
|
|
What are implants used for?
|
They are like steroids for cows. Their main purpose is to promote growth.
|
|
Why do we use Antibiotics?
|
They are preventatives and also work to increase feed efficiency, which will intern increase average daily gain.
|
|
Why are buffers used?
|
To neutralize the pH levels in the stomach.
