  1. Feed Inputs to Animals Bob von Bernuth

  2. Considerations in a Ration/Diet • Energy • Proteins & Amino Acids • Minerals • Vitamins • Non-nutritative additives

  3. Energy • Energy is produced when organic molecules undergo oxidation. C6H12O6 + 6 O2=> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy

  4. Proteins and Amino Acids • Proteins are amino acids • There are limiting amino acids • Lysine • Methionine • A lot of others! • They should be balanced • Amino acids are the main source of N • Limiting amino acids results in reducing N excretion.

  6. Importance of Phosphorus • One of the most important minerals required by livestock and poultry. • Complexes with calcium to give rigidity to bones. • An integral part of many organic compounds – plays important roles in energy and protein metabolism. • Almost every biochemical reaction that occurs in muscle, blood and other soft tissues involves phosphorus. • Affects protein synthesis, lean deposition in growing animals.

  7. Phosphorus Requirements • Best source of unbiased information on requirements is the nutrient requirement publications of the National Research Council (NRC). • NRC is part of the National Academy of Sciences – a private organization established 140 years ago by President Abraham Lincoln to advise the nation on issues of science and technology. • The Committee on Animal Nutrition of the NRC has established guidelines for feeding animals for past 75 years.

  8. Swine versus Dairy • Swine are a monogastric • Dairy cattle are ruminants • Ruminants have a rumen (large stomach) • Rumen contains bacteria which produce phytase enzyme—breaks down phytate feedstuffs • Nonruminants don’t

  9. Swine Considerations • Since they don’t have phytase—we have to overfeed P in order to ensure adequate available P. • Or—we can add phytase—it works in swine, it just isn’t produced there (it also works for poultry) • Or—we can use low phytate corn

  10. Phosphorus • Essential for skeletal system development • Generally low availability • Feedstuffs—60-75% is phytate (not available) • Corn grain—14% • Soybean meal—23-30% • What happens to the rest?

  11. Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Animal Manures N P (% of DM) Manure from: Swine 4.71 2.97 Poultry 5.13 1.62 Beef 3.96 1.07 Dairy 3.75 0.79 Sheep 3.89 0.56 Sweeten (1992).

  12. Swine and Poultry Manure High in Phosphorus - Why? • Diets (especially swine diets) generally tend to be oversupplemented with phosphorus. • Grains, oilseed meals in swine and poultry diets are high in phytate phosphorus. • Pigs and poultry are unable to degrade phytase and utilize the phosphorus - no phytase in their digestive tract. • As a result, most of dietary phosphorus from the natural ingredients is excreted in the feces.

  16. Nutritional Strategies to Reduce Phosphorus in Swine Manure • Feed diets that are not excessive in phosphorus. • Formulate diets on an “available phosphorus” basis. • Use feedstuffs that are low in phytate or that have endogenous phytase. • Wheat, wheat byproducts, triticale, barley. • Reduce dietary phosphorus and supplement with phytase. • Use low-phytate cereals and oilseed meals.

  17. Model-Predicted P Excretion (kg) in Growing-Finishing Pig Fed Corn-Soy Diet from 20 to 120 kg 79% More P Excreted

  18. Phytase – What Does it Do? • Increases phytate digestibility - increases bioavailability of P in cereal grains and oilseed meals. • Reduces the amount of supplemental inorganic P needed to maximize growth and bone mineralization. • Markedly reduces fecal P excretion. • Increases the absorption of Ca, Mg, Zn, and other divalent cations. • May improve the utilization of dietary protein and energy.

  22. Dairy Considerations • A dairy cow has phytase. Perhaps because of the large amount of feed she eats (50-60 lb/day) some phytase might help. • However, we tend to overfeed P.

  23. Why Do We Overfeed P? • Safety margin Not needed • Increased milk yield Doesn’t work • Hypophasphatemia Doesn’t help • Improves reproduction Data ??? • P in feed unknown No excuse

  24. You Get Back What You Put In! • P has no gaseous phase • It can’t escape to the air • If you fed it, it’s in the animal, the milk or the excretion. • If you manure sample doesn’t show it, you better look for it.
