Various aspects of feed processing and feed ingredients for livestock. It covers topics such as the advantages and disadvantages of grinding, heating, and pelleting feed, the classification of feed ingredients (carbonaceous vs. Proteinaceous, concentrates vs. Roughages), the importance of mineral and vitamin supplementation, the phases of silage fermentation, and methods for measuring energy values of feeds. Detailed information on feed processing techniques, feed composition and quality, and the nutritional requirements of different livestock species. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the principles of feed formulation and management to optimize animal performance and health.

-increased costs -quality control needed -fat additions -gastric ulcers an auger wagon is used for liquid feed that requires a long mixing time - ANSWER-true anhydrous ammonia - ANSWER-improves energy availability As Fed - ANSWER-(wet;fresh) expression of nutrient concentration of a feedstuff in the wet form of that feedstuff as-fed expression of nutrients-dilutes the nutrients - ANSWER-true Batch feed mixers - ANSWER-individual ingredients are ground before they go into the mixer -vertical: cylinder inverted cone -horizontal: u-shaped (liquid molasses, silage) -auger wagon: liquid molasses that needs longer mixing blood meal has 80% crude protein - ANSWER-true Butyric acid will be produced in a silo if there is insufficient lactic acid present - ANSWER-true calcium is not well utilized by the animal - ANSWER-false calculated TDN - ANSWER-= % digestible protein+ %dig fiber+ % dig NFE + (%dig fat times 2.25) Carbonaceous Concentrates - ANSWER--high energy -feed grain and byproducts
Distadvantages of TDN - ANSWER-- considers only digestive losses: ignores energy losses via urine, gas, and heat production -not expressed in energy terminology -overstimates energy value of forages, esp. poor quality forages Dry Forage - ANSWER-(greater than 18% CF) -straws -legumes -hays Dry Matter - ANSWER-(moisture free) expression of nutrient concentration of a feedstuff in the dry form of that feedstuff. Energy Feed - ANSWER-(less than 20% CP & less than 18% CF) -corn -milo -oats expression of nutrient concentration in a FS in a 90% DM basis - ANSWER-Air-dry Facet 4 denotes stage of maturity - ANSWER-true Facts that may influence the value of a feedstuff... - ANSWER--soil fertility -growing condition -harvesting -processing and storage fat additions should be no more than 4% of diet before going into pelleting machine - ANSWER-false Fat additives should be no more than __________% of a diet before going into a pelleting machine. - ANSWER-3% Fresh Forage Advantages - ANSWER--green chop GE= - ANSWER-DE + FE Green Chop - ANSWER-forage that is freshly cut/chopped and fed to livestock. green chop - ANSWER-freshly cut forage; chopped forage-fed before it ferments -may lower bloat -less expensive -problem with weather not a year around crop
mostly used in dairy cattle Green chop is mainly used in the swine industry - ANSWER-False, dairy cattle Gross energy minus fecal energy equals what? - ANSWER-Digestible Energy hay making - ANSWER-- 15% moisture or less drying agaents remove waxy layer( sodium/ potassium carbonate) Heat damage to hay will occur at a ________ moisture level. - ANSWER-25% Heat damage to hay will occur at a 10% moisture level - ANSWER-false Heat treatment methods... - ANSWER--steam flaking -steam rolling -pressure flaking -roasting -extruding -popping -exploding -micronizing Horizontal silos are placed on a concrete slab - ANSWER-false, in the ground It does not mold in a silo because the oxygen is being ___________ and carbon dioxide is being ____________. - ANSWER-consumed; produced metabolic energy - ANSWER-DE - UE & GPD Methods of processing feedstuff - ANSWER--grinding -heat process -chopping -pelleting methods to measure net energy - ANSWER-- energy balance trial -comparative slaughter technique Mineral Supplement - ANSWER--limestone -calcium carbonate Most sources of NPN are a source of 15-25% N - ANSWER-false NEg= - ANSWER-NEg Mcal/day ÷ NEg Mcal/lb NEm= - ANSWER-NEm Mcal/day ÷ NEm Mcal/lb
taste( palatable) processing feedstuffs will improve feed efficiency by 5-15% - ANSWER-true Processing feedstuffs will improve feed efficiency by how much? - ANSWER-5-15% propionic acid - ANSWER-removes waxy layer in hay Propionic acid allows hay to be stored at a higher moisture content - ANSWER-true Protein Supplement - ANSWER-(greater than 20% CP) -soybean meal -cottonseed meal -meat & bone/blood meal -tankage
