1、Nutrient requirementsXIANYAO LIContent Beef cattle PoultryNutrient requirements of beef cattle A balanced and cost effective nutrition program is essential to the success of any beef cattle operation.Expensive grasslands demand efficient utilization of forages.Supplemental feeding and complete feedi
2、ng programs must be designed to meet the nutrient needs of beef cattle and,at the same time,make the most of the available feed resources.Nutrient requirements of cattle change with age,stage of production,sex,breed,environmental conditions,and basal diet quality and amount.Therefore,gaining knowled
3、ge of nutrient requirements and the factors influencing these requirements is a necessary first step to designing a nutrition program that is both efficient and cost effective.This section will discuss the protein,energy,mineral,and vitamin requirements of beef cattle.In addition,tables of nutrient
4、requirements are provided.Dry Matter Intake There really is no requirement for feed intake,although an estimate of how much forage and feed that a cow will consume is essential when evaluating rations,supplements,or predicting animal performance.Dry matter(DM)intake is influenced by a number of diff
5、erent factors.The dry matter(or otherwise known as dry weight)is a measurement of the mass of something when completely dried.The dry matter of plant and animal material would be its solidsDry Matter Intake A few of the more important variables include animal weight,condition,stage of production,lev
6、el of milk production,forage quality,amount and type of supplement or feed provided,as well as environmental conditions.Cattle have a daily requirement for a certain quantity of specific nutrients such as protein,calcium,and vitamin A.The necessary concentration of these nutrients in the diet(to mee
7、t the animals requirement)is then determined by the amount of feed consumed.For example,steer calves gaining 2 lb per day may require 1.6 lb of protein per day.If they consume 15 lb of DM daily,the protein requirement could be expressed as 10.7%of DM intake.On the other hand,if they are limit fed to
8、 consume only 10 lb of DM daily,the protein requirement for 2 lb of gain could be expressed as 16%of DM intake.Intake in forage fed cattle is generally limited by the forage capacity of the digestive tract.Forage digestibility values rarely exceed 70 to 74%of dry matter.Calves(牛犊)(牛犊)and yearlings(一
9、两岁的牛)(一两岁的牛)are frequently fed higher quantities of concentrate feeds 浓缩饲料浓缩饲料 to improve weight gain and feed conversion above what can be achieved with forage alone.When diet digestibility approaches around 70%,feed intake is no longer regulated or limited by the capacity of the digestive tract.Ra
10、ther,with diets high in digestible energy,physiological mechanisms are turned on to limit intake This response can be thought of as a built in safety mechanism so that cattle are less likely to consume too much of a highly digestible diet,causing digestive upset,bloat,and founder(蹄叶炎)(蹄叶炎).Forage in
11、take is highly correlated with forage quality The more rapid rate of digestion and passage of higher quality forage results in considerably higher dry matter intake compared to forage that is lower in digestibility.Intake estimates assume that protein requirements are met by the forage or through su
12、pplementation when forage protein is not adequate.Cattle with greater mature body weight and frame consume more forage compared to smaller frame cattle and lactating cows consume considerably more of the same quality forage compared to gestating cows Cattle that are fleshy consume 3 to 10%less feed
13、or forage compared to cattle that are in average to thin condition.Cold stress increases dry matter intake,while heat stress reduces dry matter intake.With this many factors influencing this trait,it is obvious that dry matter intake is very difficult to accurately predict.Estimates of dry matter in
14、take presented in the nutrient requirement tables are determined using published prediction equations.These equations take into account the effects of the animals weight,level of milk production for lactating cows,energy content of the diet,stage of production,and body condition in the case of the p
15、regnant replacement heifers(后备母牛)(后备母牛).It is important to note that all of these equations assume that adequate protein is supplied in the diet to maximize ruminal fermentation.In other words,if the diet is deficient in protein,these dry matter intake values will overestimate the amount that the ca
16、ttle will actually consume.Protein Proteins are large chemical units made up of hundreds of amino acids.Amino acids,in turn,are organic(carbon containing)compounds that also contain nitrogen,oxygen,and sometimes sulfur.Animals consume proteins in their diets and then utilize the amino acids for synt
17、hesis of muscle,blood proteins,and other body components.In swine,poultry,and other non-ruminants,the amino acids must be supplied in definite proportions in the diet.However,in ruminants,microorganisms(bacteria and protozoa)breakdown most dietary proteins and incorporate the nitrogen and amino acid
18、s into their own body tissue.The microorganisms are digested in the small intestine of the ruminant animal.The bacteria themselves have a protein requirement and must have adequate protein to do their job of digesting roughages(粗饲(粗饲料)料)to end products(终产物)(终产物)that can be utilized by the cow.Becaus
19、e of the ruminal breakdown of dietary proteins and because the amino acid make-up of microorganisms is adequate for most classes of beef cattle,feed and forage amino acid composition is generally not critical compared to non-ruminant diets.On the other hand,a high priority should be placed on provid
20、ing adequate ruminally available protein in order to allow the bacteria to grow and digest roughages.Chemical crude protein concentration is determined by multiplying the feed nitrogen concentration by 6.25 because protein molecules contain an average of 16%nitrogen(1/16=6.25).The crude protein syst
21、em has been the standard for evaluating beef cattle protein requirements and dietary supply for a long time.More recently,the metabolizable protein system has been used to better characterize protein degradability as well as its site and extent of digestion.In order to effectively use this new syste
22、m,the user must become familiar with several new terms.These include degradable intake protein(DIP)可降解进食蛋白质可降解进食蛋白质,undegradable intake protein(UIP)非可降解进食蛋白质非可降解进食蛋白质,and metabolizable protein(MP)可代谢蛋白质可代谢蛋白质.Degradable intake protein is the feed protein fraction that is degraded in the rumen.Nitrog
23、en from DIP is either used for microorganism protein synthesis or passes through the rumen wall into the blood stream and is carried to the liver as ammonia.In the liver this nitrogen can be converted to urea after which it is recycled to the rumen through saliva or filtered out of the blood stream
24、in the kidney to be excreted in the urine.Undegradable intake protein is the feed protein fraction that bypasses fermentation in the rumen to be degraded and absorbed in the small intestine.Metabolizable protein is the sum of protein derived from microorganism origin plus UIP.Perhaps one of the most
25、 practical applications of the MP system is the calculation of the animals DIP requirement to insure optimal rumen function.For this reason,feed DIP values are included in most feed composition tables.The requirement for DIP is thought to be closely associated with the amount of fermentable energy i
26、n the diet.Specifically,the DIP requirement can be calculated as 10 to 13%of daily total digestible nutrient(TDN)intake.Lower values in this range are used when the cattle are receiving a low quality diet,such as dry winter range forage or low quality hay,whereas higher values in the range are used
27、when the cattle are receiving high quality forage or a ration including at least 50%concentrate.The UIP value of the feed can also be calculated by subtracting the DIP value from one.Example of DIP requirement and supply A cow is consuming 25 lb of hay dry matter that contains 50%TDN.The cow therefo
28、re consumes a total of 12.5 lb of TDN per day.The DIP requirement is 12.5 lb x 10%,or 1.25 lb of DIP per day.The hay contains 6%CP(dry matter basis),of which 65%is DIP,this cow would consume 0.98 lb of DIP each day(6%x 65%x 25 lb).The requirement for supplemental DIP would be 0.27 lb(1.25 lb-0.98 lb
29、).Research demonstrates that ruminal fermentation may be compromised with low protein diets.Therefore,7%dietary crude protein was the minimum value used in the nutrient requirement tables in this publication.The requirements are expressed in both pounds per day of crude protein and in terms of the p
30、ercentage required in the diet dry matter.These tables illustrate the influence of age,weight,desired rate of weight gain,stage of production,and genetic milking ability on nutrient requirements.Replacement heifers need to gain about 1.0 to 1.5 lb/day in order to reach 60 to 65%of their expected mat
31、ure weight and puberty 初初情期情期 by 15 months of age.They also need to gain around 1 lb/day from the time they are bred until they calve 产犊产犊 in order to reach approximately 80%of their mature weight when they calve for the first time.The requirement of protein for muscle and organ growth is reflected
32、in the large daily requirement for protein.Growing heifers require a high concentration of protein in the diet because of their low dry matter intake.They must have access to good quality forage or be fed supplemental protein to achieve adequate growth prior to their first breeding season.Gestation
33、has little effect on the cows protein requirement until about the seventh month of pregnancy.About 2/3 of the fetal growth occurs during the last 1/3 of pregnancy and the protein intake of the cow should be increased during the last 1/3 of pregnancy to insure that the cow will be in good condition a
34、t the time of calving.The cow is programmed to take care of the fetus at the expense of her own body,and losses of body condition frequently occur in late pregnancy when daily protein or energy are not increased to match the needs of the pregnant cow.Adequate dietary protein during this period is al
35、so essential for the cow to produce abundant,high quality colostrum初乳初乳(first milk),which will influence the newborns immune system for the remainder of its life.Lactation is the most nutritionally stressful activity for the cow.The modern commercial beef cow produces around 20 lb of milk each day d
36、uring peak lactation.Milk contains a high concentration of protein.Therefore,lactating cows,particularly during early lactation,require nearly twice the daily protein of dry cows.Research shows that cows in moderate condition at calving should at least maintain body weight from calving to rebreeding
37、 for good conception rates.Failure to take into account the increased protein demand brought on by lactation may result in long intervals before rebreeding.Beef breeds with superior milking ability(25 to 30 lb/day),and high producing cows within a breed or herd have an even higher protein requiremen
38、t.Increasing cow size adds to the daily protein requirement but not nearly to the extent that lactation does.As mature size increases,more protein is required to maintain the heavier muscle mass and to permit faster gains that must be made by young females of larger breeds.Energy The cow requires en
39、ergy for grazing,traveling,fetal development,milk production,temperature maintenance,reproduction,digestion,and voiding of body wastes.In addition,first and second calf cows require additional energy for growth until they mature at about four years of age.If cows are thin,additional energy will be r
40、equired to restore their body condition to a moderate level.The bulk of energy for grazing cattle comes from rumen digestion of forages and roughage products.With proper amounts of protein and minerals,the rumen is capable of getting energy from a wide range of feeds that are useless to non-ruminant
41、s.Because the rumen bacteria themselves require protein,just as the animals body does,it is impossible to discuss ruminant energy requirements separately from ruminant protein requirements.With too little protein in the diet,the bacteria will not efficiently digest roughages,while with too much prot
42、ein in the diet,the protein will be deaminated(the nitrogen removed)and used as a very expensive energy source.Energy requirements are expressed in the table in terms of TDN and net energy for maintenance(NEm)and(or)net energy for gain(NEg).TDN is the sum of the digestible starch,fiber,protein,and f
43、at in a feed with a correction factor for the high energy content of fat and the amount of ash or mineral content.TDN requirements are expressed as a percent of the diet dry matter as well as in pounds per day required.Net energy requirements are expressed in terms of mega calories per pound of feed
44、 and mega calories required per day.The same factors that influence protein requirements also influence energy requirements:animal weight,rate of gain,lactation,and fetal development.Lactation represents the greatest need for additional energy beyond that needed for maintenance.An average milking be
45、ef cow requires nearly 50%more TDN or net energy than she does when dry.It should be noted that lactating cows consume more forage compared to gestating cows due to the increased energy demand.Energy requirements for first-calf heifers are higher than for mature cows because energy is needed for gro
46、wth,in addition to body maintenance and lactation.Inadequate energy during the last third of gestation and during the critical time from calving to rebreeding can lead to poor rebreeding.Large cows will require more energy than will small cows.For example,a 1,300 lb dry pregnant cow in the middle th
47、ird of pregnancy requires 32%more TDN per day than a 900 lb cow at the same stage of production.Producers who are increasing the mature size of their cows should recognize the greater energy requirements of the larger cows and reduce their stocking rates to compensate.Vitamins and Minerals The Natio
48、nal Research Council publishes equations to determine calcium and phosphorus requirements and these estimated requirements are shown in Tables 2 through 6.Less is known about specific dietary requirements for the other important macro and micro minerals.Therefore,the National Research Council provid
49、es general dietary guidelines and maximum tolerable levels for each of these minerals.Water Do not forget that water is a common but an entirely essential nutrient.Water intake increases dramatically with increased age,weight,and temperature.Clean water is most important for young growing calves,but
50、 dirty water can retard performance and be a breeding ground 滋生滋生地地for disease in cattle of all ages.Other Considerations The requirements shown in the tables are designed for healthy unstressed cattle in good condition.Thin heifers or cows should be fed additional energy and protein to achieve good
51、 body condition.Some additional energy should be allowed for cows having to travel over large areas for feed or water.Cows subjected to extremely cold temperatures,especially if combined with rain or snow,need extra energy for maintenance.The protein requirement is not increased during cold stress,h
52、owever,Kansas State University research,shows that a 1,200 lb cow subjected to 20 degrees Fahrenheit 华氏度华氏度 in a 14 mph wind requires about 28%more energy than at 32 degrees Fahrenheit with no wind.Conclusion Nutrient requirements include those for protein,energy,vitamins,minerals,and water.Nutrient
53、 requirements vary dramatically among animals and are influenced by age,weight,stage of production,rate of growth,environmental conditions,breed,gender,and other factors.Tabular data provided in this chapter should assist beef producers in determining specific nutrient requirements for their cattle.QUIZ What is the DIP,UIP,or MP Factors that affect nutrient requirements?Calculation of DIP requirement and supply.
