Front (Question)

How much percent protein is in cottonseed?

Back (Answer)

45%

Front (Question)

What “plant” takes nitrogen and fixes it into the soil?

Back (Answer)

Legumes

Front (Question)

(T/F) Only grain-fed diet doesn’t meet protein requirements, but it does meet energy requirements

Back (Answer)

True

Front (Question)

(Def) How much of what an animal eats is used

Back (Answer)

Digestabililty

Front (Question)

(Def) High in energy, low in fiber, highly digestible

Back (Answer)

Concentrates

Front (Question)

(def) Low in protein, gives animal access to the carbon chain, for ENERGY, cereal grain/molasses

Back (Answer)

Carbonaceous concentrate

Front (Question)

(def) High in protein, lots of nitrogen, component of protein, great source of protein, more expensive than carbons, fish meal/soybean/cottonseed

Back (Answer)

Nitrogenous concentrate

Front (Question)

(def) Low in energy, high in fiber, less digestible than concentrates, extremely dependent on when you harvest them

Back (Answer)

Roughages

Front (Question)

Mature grass hay, stover, mature cereal grain

Back (Answer)

Carbonaceous roughage

#10

Front (Question)

Legume hay, immature grass hay, growing pasture

Back (Answer)

Nitrogenous roughage

#11

Front (Question)

(def) A good low quality roughage, strictly energy/cellulose, only ruminants

Back (Answer)

Gin trash

#12

Front (Question)

Functions of water?

Back (Answer)

Transport nutrients and excretions, chemical reactions, regulate body temperature (sweat)

#13

Front (Question)

Structure of a protein?

Back (Answer)

Amino acid, peptide, polypeptide, protein

#14

Front (Question)

What is an “essential amino acid”?

Back (Answer)

Essential to animal, must be supplied in diet, body cannot synthesize them fast enough to meet requirements

#15

Front (Question)

What is a “nonessential amino acid”?

Back (Answer)

Body produces these amino acids naturally

#16

Front (Question)

How do you determine protein analysis?

Back (Answer)

Determine N content and mulitply by 6.25, and look at actual digestable protein (less than 12%)

#17

Front (Question)

(T/F) The level of fertilization affects the level of protein

Back (Answer)

True (directly proportional)

#18

Front (Question)

Functions of protein?

Back (Answer)

Basic structural unit of animal body (muscle), body metabolism (enzymes, hormones…)

#19

Front (Question)

(def) Primary source of energy

Back (Answer)

Carbohydrates

#20

Front (Question)

What is the formula to find the amount of carbs?

Back (Answer)

Calories + chlorophyll = carbs

#21

Front (Question)

(def) One sugar molecule, glucose

Back (Answer)

Monosaccharide

#22

Front (Question)

(def) Two sugar molecules, easily absorbable, sucrose

Back (Answer)

Disaccharide

#23

Front (Question)

(def) Three sugar molecules, degraded by stomach bacteria, raffinose

Back (Answer)

Trisaccharide

#24

Front (Question)

(def) Many sugar molecules, larger bonds harder to break

Back (Answer)

Polysaccharide
