Factors Influencing Digestibility

*fiber content*, rates of passage, preparation and processing - will vary by animal

Relative Protein Values

- Eggs: 100 - Milk: 92 - Meat: 82 - Rumen Protein: 80 - Plants: variable

Vas deferens

- carries sperm cells and substances from the epididymus to the urethra - some species have enlarged portion called the ampulla (@ end)

Chemical Analysis - Van Soest

- has breakdown of fiber 1) Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF): contains cellulose and lignin; usually associated with digestibility 2) Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF): contains cellulose, hemicellulose, & lignin; may contain intake (amt. animal may consume) * always higher because contains more components

Reproduction 4 stages

1) Gamete production: production of egg and sperm 2) Gamete maturation: ability to be functional 3) embryo development: after fertilization, growth of embryo 4) delivery: young animal leaves mother.

Controlling Mechanisms - short-term mechanisms

Prenatal stage

1) blastocyst - occurs after fertilization; nutrition is from uterine secretions and egg itself. 2) embryonic - cell differentiation into tissues and organs; very small increase in weight 3) fetal - major growth in weight and composition; nutrition is from maternal blood stream through placenta

Controlling Mechanisms - hypothalamus involvement

1) feeding center (appetite) - eat 2) satiety center - stop eating

Priority system for use of nutrients

1) nervous tissue, vital organs 2) skeletal 3) muscle 4) fat 5) reproduction (in preg. female - will take priority #2)

Factors that limit growth (postnatal)

1) nutrition 2) disease(s) 3) parasite(s)

TDN is determined by

1) proximate analysis 2) digestion trial 3) multiplying 1 and 2 together

Four phases post natal growth

1) short time after birth - head, neck, and legs - type of tissue: bone, muscle, and vital organs 2) early growth - body increases in length - type of tissue: bone, muscle, and vital organs 3) middle growth - increase in depth and width of body - type of tissue: bone, muscle, fat 4) late growth - additional development and width of body - development of loin and hind quarters - type of tissue: muscle, fat
