Table 13. Fatty Acids Commonly Found in Lipids a C4:0; four carbon atoms; 0 double bonds. b Denotes that the fatty acid has one double bond which starts at the ninth carbon atom beginning with the carboxyl carbon. c A designation used for unsaturated fatty acids. The ω denotes the first carbon atom of the double bond counting from the terminal methyl. Similar ω positions group unsaturated fatty acids into families and indicate, for example, C20:4ω6 was synthesized from C18:2ω6.

Vitamins ▣ Required by animals in very small amounts compared with other nutrients ▣ Destroyed by oxidation, heat, light and certain metals such as iron. ▣ At least 15 vitamins as essential food factors. ▣ Some are synthesized in the digestive tract and skin. ▣ Available for immediate use. ▣ Essential for tissue integrity, normal function of body, reproduction and maintain health.
Table 14. Vitamins in animal nutrition * A number of tocopherols have vitamin E activity. † Several naphthoquinone derivatives possessing vitamin K activity are known.
Fat soluble vitamins ▶ Fat soluble but not dissolve in water. ▶ Presence of fat in the feed is essential for their absorption from the intestines. ▶ Digestion of fat requires bile salts. ▶ Absorbed into the lymphatic system and then transferred to the blood circulation for utilization in the body. ▶ Some are stored in organ like liver or in tissues through the body.
Water soluble vitamins ▶ Absorbed from the intestines direct into the blood circulation. ▶ Distributed to all body tissues and present in minute quantities in every cell. ▶ Not stored in any of the tissues or in any body organ in appreciable amounts. ▶ Any excess intake to the requirement is excreted rapidly. ▶ Some may be synthesized in the intestines by bacteria, but may or may not be absorbed. ▶ Need daily requirements in feed.
Functions of vitamins ▶ Participate with enzymes in chemical reactions and act as catalyst in the metabolism of nutrients. ▶ Without vitamins metabolic process cannot proceed. ▶ Needed for cellular functions. ▶ A single vitamin may influence a number of physiological functions.
Stress factors for vitamins • Humidity - pH • Pressure (pelleting) - Carriers • Heat - Enzymes • Light - Feed additives • Oxidation-reduction - Interaction with • Rancidity other vitamins • Trace minerals eg. choline chloride 2008 DSM POULTRY SEMINAR (Mar.06th)

Minerals ◎ Inorganic matter in animal body at the rate of 2~5%. ◎ Essential elements to maintain life of animals. ◎ Macro elements (60~80%) : Ca, P, K, Na, Cl, S, Mg. ◎ Micro elements (Not greater than 50mg/kg body weight) : Fe, Zn, Cu, Mo, Se, I, Mn, Co, F, As : Toxic (Cu, Se, F, Mo, As) ◎ Ca, P : Over 70% of the ash of the body.
General functions of minerals ◈ Constituents of the bones and teeth : rigidity and strength ◈ Constituents of the organic compounds : muscle, organ, blood cells. ◈ Important in the activation of many enzymes. ◈ Soluble salts in the blood and body fluids (osmotic relations and acid-base equilibrium) ◈ Many of their vital functions are due to an ionic interrelationship, antagonistic action and balanced solution.
Energy ◈ The potential energy present in feedstuff (Gross Energy) : depends on the chemical composition. - Carbohydrates, 1g : 4.2 kcal (1 kcal = 4.184 k joule) - Protein, 1g : 5.5 kcal - Fat, 1g : 9.5 kcal - Water, 1g : 0 kcal
