Flashcards
0/20
Cottonseed Meal
Protein: ~41%, Lower in lysine and tryptophan, Contains gossypol which can be toxic
Alfalfa Meal
Protein: ~17%, Rich in vitamins A and K, High in fiber
Meat and Bone Meal
Protein: 50-60%, Rich in calcium and phosphorus, Can contain high levels of ash
Oats
Metabolizable Energy: ~2,200 kcal/kg, Higher in fiber than corn, Contains beta-glucans which may affect digestibility
Canola Meal
Protein: ~38%, Lower in lysine compared to soybean meal, Good source of methionine
Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS)
Protein: ~30%, High in energy and fiber, Good source of B vitamins and phosphorus
Monocalcium Phosphate
High in bioavailable phosphorus, Also supplies calcium, Useful for balancing the Ca:P ratio
Fish Meal
Protein: 60-72%, High in omega-3 fatty acids, Excellent source of calcium and phosphorus
Rice Bran
Metabolizable Energy: ~3,200 kcal/kg, High in fat, Contains anti-nutritional factors like phytates
Limestone
Calcium content: ~38%, Used to supply calcium for bone development and eggshell formation, No protein or energy contribution
DL-Methionine
Essential amino acid for poultry, Often the first limiting amino acid in diets, Supplementation can improve feathering and growth
Enzymes
Improve feed ingredient digestibility, May specifically target anti-nutritional factors like phytates, Enhances metabolic energy available from the feed
Soybean Meal
Protein: 45-48%, Rich in lysine, methionine and tryptophan, Contains anti-nutritional factors that need to be deactivated
Salt
Provides essential sodium and chloride, Needed for osmoregulation and acid-base balance, Over-supplementation can lead to toxicity
Corn
Metabolizable Energy: ~3,400 kcal/kg, High in carbohydrates, Low in lysine and methionine
Wheat
Metabolizable Energy: ~3,300 kcal/kg, Moderate in protein, Can have variable enzyme inhibitors
Barley
Metabolizable Energy: ~2,900 kcal/kg, High in fiber, Lower in energy than corn
Peas
Protein: ~25%, Starch content contributes to energy supply, Complement cereal grains with different amino acid patterns
Vegetable Oil
Metabolizable Energy: >8,000 kcal/kg, High in essential fatty acids, Lacks protein
Molasses
Metabolizable Energy: ~2,650 kcal/kg, High in sugar content, Contains minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium
