Is the study that deals with the nutrients and their utilisation by the animal
NUTRITION
7%= PPM
70,000
It is used when the concentration of the nutrient is very small
Parts Per Million (ppm)
Find the % of DM if the given moisture content is 11.5%.
89.5%
a chemical element or compound that is essential for the normal body metabolism
NUTRIENT
26400 ppm = %
2.64 %
This expresssion is commonly used in countries where imperial units are preferred.
MILLIGRAM PER POUND (mg/lb)
A fresh forage contains:
Convert the crude protein to a oven Dry Matter basis.
12.676%
refers to feed in its NATURAL STATE, including all moisture content.
AS-FED BASIS (WET OR FRESH BASIS)
Kg = lbs
9.8 kgs = lbs
9.8 x 2.2
=21.56 lbs
It is the most basic and widely used form of nutrient expression
PERCENTAGE (%)
A feed sample contains:
Convert both nutrients to an Air-Dry Basis.
CP = 33.91%
EE = 8.61%
Most commercial feeds and forages are considered to be
AIR-DRY BASIS
mg/g ---> %
630 mg/g
1 mg/g = 0.1%
63%
the overall composition or mix of feeds an animal eats.
DIET-
A hay sample contains:
Express both nutrients on an As-fed Basis.
CF = 20.88%
EE = 2.16%
represents everything contained in a feed sample except water; this includes protein, fiber, fat, minerals, etc.
DRY MATTER
microgram = ounce (oz)
90,000,100
mcg->mg->g->kg->
90,000,100 ÷ 1000 ÷ 1000 ÷ 1000 x 35.27
3.14 oz
the daily food allowance
RATION
A commercial poultry feed has the following proximate composition:
Question:
Compute the total carbohydrate content of the feed.
Carbohydrates = NFE + CF
= 28 + 49
=77
Based on the orientation on waste segregation, which waste is the last option?
Residual Wastes
