Remember… • Water • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Protein • Minerals • Vitamins
Water (H2O) • Overlook when formulating rations—assumed animals have access to good quality water • EXTREMELY IMPORTANT • Cheapest & most abundant nutrient • May lose 100% of body fat, 50% of body protein and live • Lose 10% of body water, dehydration occurs and may result in death
Water (H2O) • 65-85% of body weight at birth • 45-60% of body weight at maturity • Many tissues contain 70-90% water
Functions of Water • Transport of nutrients and excretions • Chemical reactions and solvent properties • Body temperature regulation • Aids in cell shape maintenance • Lubricates and cushions joints and organs
Sources of Water • Drinking water • Water in feed • Metabolic water
Sources of Water 1. Drinking • Pigs = 1.5-3 gal/hd/day • Sheep = 1-3 gal/hd/day • Cattle = 10-14 gal/hd/day • Horses = 10-14 gal/hd/day • Poultry = 2 parts water:1 part feed
Sources of Water 2. Water contained in feeds • Highly variable in feedstuffs • Grains = 9-30% water • Forages • Hay <5% • Silage 65-75% • Lush young grass >90%
Calculating Water Content of Feedstuffs • 100 lbs of silage (65% moisture) contains how much actual feed? • 100 lbs * .65 = 65 lbs of water • 100 lbs – 65 lbs = 35 lbs of feed
Sources of Water • Metabolic Water - Results from the oxidation of organic nutrients in the tissues • 1 g of carbohydrates = .6 g of water • 1 g of protein = .4 g of water • 1 g of fat = 1 g of water • May account for 5-10% of total water intake
Sources of Water Loss • Urine • Feces • Lungs • Skin • Milk
Factors Affecting Water Intake • Temperature & humidity • Dietary factors • High moisture feeds reduce drinking • Fiber, DM intake, salt, and protein increase drinking • Lactating vs dry • Water quality
Water Absorption • Readily absorbed • Monogastrics/Ruminants: Jejunum, Ileum, Cecum, Large Intestine • Ruminants: Rumen and Omasum
DM in the feeds or diets • DM content in feeds or diets • How to analyze ? • How to calculate ? • What is its effect on feed quality (nutrient content and preservation)? • What kind of nutrients contained in the feeds or diets? • Remember !!!! • DM content and Feed Price? • DM content and Feed Handling?
Feeds or diets DM for animal • DM content in feeds or diets for animal • Function ? • How to calculate ?
Carbohydrates (CHO) • Primary component found in livestock feeds • 70% of DM of forages • 80% of DM of grains • Serve as source of energy or bulk (fiber) in the diet • Not ESSENTIAL nutrients • Synthesized by animals
Carbohydrates (CHO) • Definition: Hydrates of carbon formed by combining CO2 and H2O • photosynthesis
Types of CHO • Monosaccharides: 1 sugar molecule • Glucose • Primary sugar body uses for fuel • Fructose • Found in honey (75%), fruits, and cane sugar • Sweetest sugar • Present in low concentrations in animal feedstuffs
Types of CHO • Disaccharides: 2 sugar molecules linked by a glycosidic bond • Lactose (galactose + glucose) • Milk sugar • Sucrose (fructose + glucose) • Table sugar • Present in higher concentrations in animal feedstuffs
Types of CHO • Oligosaccharides: group of CHO consisting of 2-10 sugar groups • Present in feed ingredients • Fructooligosaccharides (Inulin): present Jerusalem artichokes • Galactooligosaccharides: present in soybeans
Types of CHO • Oligosaccharides • Not hydrolytically digested or digested by the action of mammalian enzymes • Fermented by beneficial bacteria present in GIT • “Functional Feed Ingredient”: foodstuffs which, apart from their normal nutritional value, are said to help promote or sustain healthiness • PREBIOTIC
Types of CHO • Polysaccharides: many sugar molecules linked by a glycosidic bond • Starch: storage form in plants • Cellulose: most abundant CHO in nature • Hemicellulose: principle component of plant cell wall
Function of CHO • Source of energy • Source of heat • Building block for other nutrients
Sources of CHO • Cereal Grains • Most feedstuffs of plant origin are high in CHO content
CHO Digestion • Dietary CHO must be converted to be absorbed • Simple sugars (monosaccharides) • How? • Action of amylase enzyme • Salivary amylase (swine, poultry) • Intestinal amylase • Action of other disaccharidases • Produced by mucosal lining of duodenum
CHO Digestion • Mammals do not produce enzymes necessary to digest oligosaccharides and celluloses (fibrous feedstuffs) • Digestion occurs as result of bacterial fermentation • Where? • Rumen • Large Intestine (cecum and colon)
CHO Digestion • Fermentation yields: • CO2 • H2O • Heat (heat increment) • Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA) or also referred to as Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA)
VFA Production • Serve as 70 - 80% of energy requirement in ruminants • VFA’s produced in rumen • Serve as ~16% of Maintenance energy requirement in swine • VFA’s produced in large intestine
VFAs • Acetate • with higher roughage levels • Produced by cellulolytic & hemicellulolytic bacteria
VFAs • Propionate • with higher concentrate levels • Feed efficiency • Ionophores increase propionate production
VFAs • Butyrate • Energy source for rumen wall growth • Papillae growth • Energy source for colonic cell growth • monogastrics
VFAs • Lactate(not volatile) • Anaerobic conditions • rumen and blood pH • Inhibits most microbial growth • Acidosis situation
CHO Absorption • Once simple sugars are formed, they are absorbed rapidly by small intestine • Then monosaccharides diffuse into the portal vein which transports them to sites of metabolism
VFA Absorption • Absorbed through the rumen wall or large intestine mucosa • Provide energy source to the animal
Lipids • Insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents • Dense energy source: • 1 g fat = 9.45 kcal GE • 1 g protein = 4.5 kcal GE • 1 g CHO = 4.2 kcal GE • Thus, fat produces 2.25 times the energy than CHO
Lipids • Triglyceride: primary storage form of lipids • Saturated fatty acids: contain no double bonds • Unsaturated fatty acids: contain 1 or more double bonds
Lipids • Fats = solid at room temp = animal origin • saturated • Oils = liquid at room temp = plant origin • unsaturated
Functions of Lipids • Dietary energy supply • Source of insulation & protection • Source of essential fatty acids (EFA) • Carrier for fat soluble vitamins
Lipids • Essential fatty acids (EFA): Those fatty acids that an animal requires, but which it cannot synthesize in adequate amounts to meet the animal’s need • Linoleic C18:2 • Linolenic C18:3 • Arachidonic C20:4
EFA • Physiological needs: • Cell membrane structure • Synthesis of prostaglandins which control blood pressure and smooth muscle contractions • Deficiency: • Scaly, flaky skin (Poor feather growth) • Poor growth
