|
Definition
essential for laying hens |
|
|
Term
when there is little advantage to using digestible amino acid values for feed formulation. |
|
Definition
If diets are composed of highly digestible ingredients (Corn and SBM), there is little advantage to using digestible amino acid values for feed formulation. |
|
|
Term
when you have a negative N balance,... |
|
Definition
N input (Feed N) ˂ N output (Excreta N); AMEn will be greater than AME |
|
|
Term
when you have a positive N balance,... |
|
Definition
N input (Feed N) ˃ N output (Excreta N); AMEn will be less than AME |
|
|
Term
when you want to give an animal high level of protein |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
where heat is produced in the animal |
|
Definition
regions with the most active metabolism such as the gut and the liver |
|
|
Term
where most of the Ca and P are found in the body |
|
Definition
99 % of body Ca and 80 % of body P are found in skeleton & teeth |
|
|
Term
where the energy is stored in ATP |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
which type of Ca absorption happens more often in the duodenum and jejunum? active or passive? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
which type of animal changes fatty acid composition? ruminants or non-ruminants? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
which type of animal doesn't change fatty acid composition? ruminants or non-ruminants? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
why AA balance is important |
|
Definition
because imbalance reduces performance |
|
|
Term
why AME can be undervalued compared to TME when feed intake is very low |
|
Definition
because lower feed intake has higher endogenous losses |
|
|
Term
why AME varies with feed intake |
|
Definition
because of endogenous losses |
|
|
Term
why TME is independent of feed intake |
|
Definition
because it accounts for endogenous losses |
|
|
Term
why carbohydrates have about the same GE |
|
Definition
because they have similar ratios of C + H to O |
|
|
Term
why cereal grains are often used as a source of dietary protein in the feed industry |
|
Definition
because of the use of grains to supply dietary energy |
|
|
Term
why chickens need more arginine than mammals |
|
Definition
because of uric acid synthesis |
|
|
Term
why chromic oxide is a good marker for the indicator method |
|
Definition
Chromic oxide can’t be absorbed, so exact amount shows up in poop |
|
|
Term
why crude protein is called crude |
|
Definition
because there's N in other molecules |
|
|
Term
why do ruminants generally not require water soluble vitamins? |
|
Definition
because microbes produce them |
|
|
Term
why do we need methionine and total sulfur amino acid requirement for animal, but not cysteine requirement, when we make diet formulations? |
|
Definition
Because methionine can be converted to cysteine, but not vice-versa. They both contain S. |
|
|
Term
why do we need to remove the ceca from the roosters in order to collect their digestia? |
|
Definition
-microbial fermentation and such -microbial digestion of AA |
|
|
Term
why do we normally provide Ca and available P at a ratio of 2:1 in the broiler diets? |
|
Definition
because Ca occurs in a ratio of 2:1 with P in bones |
|
|
Term
why higher protein diets have lower net energy |
|
Definition
because protein produces most heat |
|
|
Term
why is apparent ileal acid digestibility called "apparent"? |
|
Definition
because it doesn't account for endogenous losses |
|
|
Term
why is the digestia collected from a pig's ileum green? |
|
Definition
because of chromium oxide |
|
|
Term
why it's important for newborn mammals to be able to absorb intact proteins |
|
Definition
Important for utilization of antibodies in colostrum. |
|
|
Term
why laying hens need more fat in abdomen than broilers do |
|
Definition
some abdominal fat needed for egg production, considering that the yolk uses fat from liver |
|
|
Term
why lysine is sensitive to Maillard reaction during heating |
|
Definition
because of a higher number of free amino groups |
|
|
Term
why mammals don't need much argenine in their diet |
|
Definition
because of the urea cycle |
|
|
Term
why newborn mammals can absorb intact proteins |
|
Definition
because their small intestine is permeable to proteins, e.g. immunoglobulins |
|
|
Term
why not all gross energy in a feedstuff is available to the animal |
|
Definition
because there's considerable gross energy lost in the feces |
|
|
Term
why proteins have higher GE content than CHO |
|
Definition
because they contain additional oxidizable elements (N, S) |
|
|
Term
why ruminants don't need very much dietary vitamins |
|
Definition
because microbes make vitamins |
|
|
Term
why samples of digestia collected from ileum are used to account for factors influencing protein digestibility |
|
Definition
because feces are not effective for this due to ceca |
|
|
Term
why the amount of protein retained varies according to the nature of the diet and the age of the bird |
|
Definition
because a bird that is retaining nitrogen (growing chick) will excrete less nitrogen (N) vs. one that isn’t (laying hen) |
|
|
Term
why triglycerides have higher GE than carbohydrates |
|
Definition
because triglycerides have relatively less oxygen |
|
|
Term
why we must have a method of measuring feed energy |
|
Definition
because animals eat for energy |
|
|
Term
why you have to continually provide water soluble vitamins |
|
Definition
because they're not stored |
|
|
Term
why you might need a large sample size when collecting digestia from poultry |
|
Definition
because of high variation between animals |
