Livestock Improvement and Nutrition Quiz

ANIMAL NUTRITION Genetic and statistical bases of livestock improvement; selection and breeding systems; topics in reproductive biotechnologies Mr. Triel Martin Felix Faculty-in-Charge THE CONTENTS OF THESE LECTURES WAS LIFTED FROM THE LECTURE NOTES IN ANIMAL SCIENCE 1: INTRODUCTION TO ANIMAL SCIENCE BY THE INSTITUTE OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES LOS BANOS TERMS ______, ABSORPTION AND METABOLISM OUTLINE CLASSES OF NUTRIENTS AND THEIR COMPOSITION TERMINOLOGIES ❑ NUTRITION - the series of processes by which an organism takes in and assimilates food for promoting growth and replacing wornout or injured tissues. - encompasses several fields of discipline like biochemistry, chemistry, physiology, endocrinology, microbiology, genetics. TERMINOLOGIES ❑ NUTRIENTS - any feed constituent, or a group of feed constituents of the same general chemical composition that aids in the support of life. - may include synthetically produced vitamins, chemically produced inorganic salts or biogenically synthesized amino acids. TERMINOLOGIES ❑ DIGESTION - breakdown of feed particles into suitable products for absorption - may include: mechanical forces, chemical action, enzyme activity. TERMINMINOLOGIES ❑ ABSORPTION - transfer of substance from gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) to the circulatory (blood, or lymph) system. TERMINOLOGIES ❑ METABOLISM - combination of anabolic and catabolic reactions occurring in the body with the liberation of energy.
