Across
- 3. (major minerals) that normally are present at greater levels in the animal body or needed in relatively larger amounts in the diet
- 6. is comprised of fats, oils, and other compounds soluble in ether. Fats and oils contain 2.25 times the energy found in carbohydrates and proteins. They can be added to rations to increase energy concentration when feed intake is limited.
- 9. can be calculated several ways. Basically, TDN is the sum (total) of the digestible protein, digestible carbohydrates, and 2.25 times the digestible fat.
- 11. are made up of amino acids. They are essential for reproduction, lactation, growth, and maintenance of the body.
- 12. is the feed without the moisture
- 13. is the inorganic residue that remains when a forage is ignited in a furnace at a very high temperature and all the organic matter is burned. Ash consists of minerals.
Down
- 1. Forage plants can accumulate nitrates under stressed conditions such as drought, freezing, or heavy fertilization. Corn, sorghum, sudangrass, and oat hay tend to accumulate nitrates more easily compared to other plants
- 2. are parts of the plant. They can be structural (cell wall components) or nonstructural (cell contents).
- 4. (Mn)—growth, bone formation, enzyme activation, fertility
- 5. is the total energy of the feed (gross energy) minus the energy remaining in the feces (fecal energy).
- 6. is an estimate of a feed’s protein content
- 7. (trace minerals) that are present at lower levels or needed in very small amounts.
- 8. is the percent water in a sample.
- 10. (F)—prevents tooth decay
