1	Animal Nutrition
2	What nutrients does an animal need to stay healthy? Identify the need for nourishment. List 6 essential nutrients. Define metabolism. Describe the 2 different digestive systems found in animals.
3	Activity Brainstorm similar needs for animals, plants, and people. Do a lot of needs overlap???
4	Need for Nourishment body processes require the use of energy obtained from ingested food or stored fat animal must have food to store energy in fat cells
5	Need for Nourishment animals spend most of their time in search of food maintenance ration must be met first
6	Need for Nourishment wild animals eat a variety of foods to obtain proper nutrients agricultural animals depend on the producer to provide balanced a ration
7	Nutrients water protein carbohydrates
8	Nutrients fats or lipids vitamins minerals
9	Metabolism all the chemical and physical processes that take place in the body
10	Metabolism anabolism - metabolism that builds tissue catabolism - metabolism that breaks down materials
11	Water most abundant compound in the world animals must have frequent intakes of water to remain alive
12	Water provides basis for all of the fluid of the animals body bloodstream requires liquid for circulation
13	Water digestion requires moisture for breakdown of nutrients and movement of feed needed to produce milk
14	Water provides cells with pressure to allow them to hold their shape helps body to maintain constant temperature
15	Water flushes the animal’s body of waste and toxic materials a loss of 20% of body water will result in death
16	Water animals generally need about three pounds of water for every pound of solid feed they consume
17	Protein largest and most costly part of the ration composed of amino acids
18	Amino Acids building blocks of life tissue development muscle production
19	Protein enzymes are composed of protein protein can be used to supply energy
20	Protein some animals need more protein than others young animals lactating (milk producing) animals
21	Protein twenty three types of amino acids ten essential thirteen nonessential
22	Protein crude protein content total amount of protein in a feed
23	Protein digestible protein the protein in a feed that can be digested and used by the animal
24	Protein protein sources animal slaughterhouse by products dried fish meal
25	Protein plant superior to animal sources cottonseed meal soybean meal, linseed meal peanut meal, corn meal
26	Carbohydrates main source of energy compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen include sugars, starches and cellulose
27	Carbohydrates almost all come from plants generally found in grain wheat oats barley
28	Carbohydrates types of sugars monosaccharides - simple sugars glucose fructose, galactose
29	Carbohydrates disaccharides - complex sugars sucrose lactose
30	Fats group of organic compounds known as lipids found in plants and animals provide and store energy
31	Fats essential fatty acids: necessary for production of some hormones and hormone like substances
32	Fats most important sources are the grains that contain oil
33	Minerals inorganic have role in providing structural support for the animal bones (calcium and phosphorous)
34	Minerals egg shells (calcium) other essential needs provided by minerals aid in construction of muscles, blood cells, internal organs and enzymes
35	Minerals usually added to feed in their chemical form often fed free choice salt block
36	Vitamins considered micronutrients essential for the development of normal body processes
37	Vitamins health growth production reproduction
38	Vitamins provides animal with ability to fight stress, disease, and to maintain good health
39	Digestion nutrients are converted to a form that the cells can use nutrients are transported by digestive system
40	Digestion gastrointestinal tract organs that make up the digestive system also referred to as the alimentary canal
41	Monogastric system has only one compartment to the stomach process goes through the: mouth esophagus
42	Monogastric system stomach small intestine: duodenum, jejunum, ileum
43	Monogastric system large intestine: cecum, colon, rectum
44	Monogastric system humans dogs cats horses
45	Ruminant system multicompartment stomach ruminant animals are often called “cud chewers” no upper front teeth in ruminant mouth
46	Ruminant system no enzymes in the saliva examples of ruminant animals: cows, sheep, goats
47	What nutrients does an animal need to stay healthy? Identify the need for nourishment. List 6 essential nutrients. Define metabolism. Describe the 2 different digestive systems found in animals.
