show depend on enzymes in digestive tract, break down east to digest animal sourced nutrients, NO fermentation.  
🗑
Herbivores   show
🗑
show depend on both enzymatic digestion plus small amount of microbial fermentation, occurs in large intestine.  
🗑
show any substance that provides nourishment to an organism. Two categories: energy producing and non-energy producing.  
🗑
Energy Producing Nutrients   show
🗑
Non-energy Producing Nutrients   show
🗑
show the most important nutrient, 50-70% of body wt is this, excess is excreted through the kidneys via urine, mLs of this-day should be equal to kcal/day.  
🗑
Water Functions   show
🗑
show large molecules made up of amino acids, theres essential and non-essential, excessive amounts are not stored in the body.  
🗑
Protein Functions   show
🗑
show essential nutrient, cannot be synthesized by the body, must be supplied in diet. Non-essential can be synthesized by the body. Uses synthesis.  
🗑
show nutrient that is classified in several ways: short/medium/long chain or saturated/mono&poly unsaturated. Excessive amounts will be stored in the body  
🗑

🗑
show energy that remains after the energy lost in feces is subtracted from gross energy.  
🗑
Metabolizable Energy (ME)   show
🗑
Net Energy (NE)   show
🗑
show any dietary component that provides some essential nutrient or serves some other function. Divided into categories: forages (roughage), concentrates, byproducts, mineral and vitamin supplements, non-nutritive additives.  
🗑
show provides bulk, flavor, odor, color, or act as an antioxidant.  
🗑
show feeds that are made up of most/all plant, large amount of fiber, low energy density, high bulk. Protein content depends on type of plant/harvesting stage, belong to either legume or grass plant families.  
🗑
Concentrates   show
🗑
show residues of the feed-processing industry, span wide variety of feedstuffs, contain substantial amounts of fermentable fiber, energy, and protein.  
🗑
show sources of individual/combo of minerals, with or without vitamins. Fat-soluble supplemented in premixes. Water-soluble usually supplemented in swine/horse diets. Yeast cultures are a good source of B-complex.  
🗑
Non-nutritive Additives   show
🗑
show these cows require forage and grain fed separately, can either have high protein concentrate/low protein forage or low protein concentrate/high protein forage. Forage free choice always, concentrates twice daily, silage 1-2 times/day.
