Nutrition
Nutrients
Found in feed materials
that are necessary for
proper body functioning.
Roughages and Concentrates
Concentrates
Feed High In Crude (Total) Protein
75% protein is digestible
Roughages
Feeds High in Fiber low in CP
60% of Protein
More than 18% fiber
Feeds Types
Dry Grain: Crushed
(crimped) corn
Silage: Fresh cut
roughages that are
sealed to keep moisture
These types of feeds are
supplemented with
nutrients to optimize heath
Pre-mix: mixture of
nutrients supplemented to
livestock feed

cellulose
Found in the largest quantities
of livestock feed

Source: Come in grains
and protein concentrates
Vitamins
Trace organic
compounds
Help regulate body
functions and are
designates as letters
Sources: Adds to
most feed as a premix
Proteins
Organic Compounds
made up of amino acids
Supply material to build
body tissues
Mussels, skin, hair
Sources: soybean meal,
cottonseed meal, blood
meal, dried milk, urea
Minerals
Inorganic Material in
small amounts
Provides growth of
bones, teeth and body
tissues and regulate
many chemical body
process
Sources: In most feed,
pre-mixes, mineral blocks
Water
Makes up 40-80% of
the animals body
Most important nutrient
Dissolves other nutrients
and caries them
throughout the body
