Nutrition
  1. Intro to nutrition
    1. Common Feedstuffs
      1. Grass (rygrass, timothee) - forage
        1. Legumes- forage
          1. Cereals- cereal grains are concentrates
            1. Maize
              1. Roots/ tubers
                1. Brassicas- forage
                2. Proximate Analysis
                  1. 1- take food sample and dry at 80-100 degrees- remaining sample is they Dry Matter
                    1. 2-Kjendahl procedure removes crude protein 6.25 x N
                      1. 3-Ether Extract (removes fats and lipids)
                        1. 4-Boil in acid/ alkali= Crude fibre and ash
                          1. 5- burn at 550 = Ash vs Crude Fibre
                            1. Nitrogen free extract (Dry matter- ash-crude protein-Crude fibre- ether extract) = soluble carbohydrates
                            2. Uses
                              1. Crude Protein= maintanence/ growth/ activity/ pregnancy will be most expensive
                                1. Protein Quality
                                  1. Biological Value= Protein Quality the bigger the better
                                    1. MFN= metabolic faecal nitrogen- N excreted irrespective of nitrogen intake (dead cells/ bacteria etc.)
                                      1. EUN- endogenous urinary nitrogen represents N involved in maintenance in the body
                                        1. BV= N intake- (faecal N- MFN) - (Urinary N- EUN)/ N intake - (faecal N- MFN)
                                      2. Crude Fibre= cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, ligning important in ruminant function and GI motility in non ruminants
                                        1. Ash= minerals
                                          1. EE= fats, oils or fat soluble vitamins. source of energy
                                            1. Nitrogen Free Extract- soluble carbohydrates
                                            2. Digestibility = DM consumed- DM excreted/ DM consumed
                                            3. Ruminant Nutrition
                                              1. Digestion of carbohydrates/ Fibre
                                                1. Typical carbohydrates & Fibre in rumen diet: Cellulose/ Hemicellulose/ Starch/ Soluble Sugars/ Lignin
                                                  1. Crude Fibre split into Neutral Detergent Fibre and Acid Detergent Fibre
                                                    1. Neutral Detergent- structural components of plant, slowly digested. Increase NDF decreases voluntary food intake
                                                      1. Acid Detergent Fibre- least digestible components e.g. lignin, often excreted poor energy source
                                                      2. Fermentation

                                                                              1. RUMEN DEGRADABLE PROTEIN- broken down by microbes for growth

                                                                                    2. Lipids

                                                                                                  2. GROSS ENERGY= total energy in food
                                                                                                    1. DIGESTIBLE ENERGY- Gross energy- undigestable food
                                                                                                      1. METABOLISABLE ENERGY- Digestible energy- losses in methane and urine

                                                                                                                1. aim for 16% crude protein in diet
                                                                                                                  1. DIET PROBLEMS
                                                                                                                    1. ideally diet would provide lots of energy that would be digested quickly but this can cause problems
                                                                                                                      1. 30% NDF promotes rumination and good rumen health but much slower energy release
                                                                                                                        1. concentrates are higher in energy but produce lots of proionate which irritates acetate releasing microbes. acetate decreases which is needed to maintain milk fat
                                                                                                                          1. Too much protein- excessive deammonation decreases liver function and fertility
                                                                                                                            1. Too much fat will decrease appetite and decrease milk fat content
                                                                                                                            2. NEONATES
                                                                                                                              1. Osophageal groove- closes when drinking for hunger not thirst, bypasses rumen and omasum
                                                                                                                                1. Abomasum- clot forms due to pH when milk is ingested. The clot is made of renin and pepsin but is digested by lipase and protein. whey made of lactose moves to the SI
                                                                                                                                  1. Milk Replacers- More that 22 % protein, more than 20% milk
                                                                                                                                    1. 500-1000g growth a day
