Many different feed nutrients are currently recognized, and new ones are still being found. Those currently
recognized are as follows: A. Carbohydrate: Contains C, H, and O, with H and O in
the same proportion as in water. They consist largely of hexosans. These are made up of hexose or 6-carbon atom molecules.
1. Monosaccharides e.g glucose, fructose, galactose
2. Disaccharides e.g. sucrose, maltose 3. Polysaccharides e.g. starch,
glycogen, cellulose, lignin04/19/23 3
Many different feed nutrients are currently recognized, and new ones are still being found. Those currently
recognized are as follows:
Fats: Contain C, H and O with more C and H
in proportion to the O than with carbohydrates. Fats contain 2.25 times as much energy per kg as do carbohydrates.
1. Saturated fat e.g stearic, palmatic 2. Unsaturated fat e.g Oleic, linolenic,
arachidonic

Many different feed nutrients are currently recognized, and new ones are still being found. Those currently
recognized are as follows:
C. Protein: Always contain C, H, O, N and sometimes
Fe, P, and/or S. The only macronutrient which contains N Feed proteins on the average contain
16% N. Formed by various combinations of amino
acids of which there are some 25+ to be found in proteins. Amino act as organic acids which carry the amino group (NH2).

Continuation…..D. Minerals: Of the 20 elements that function in animal
nutrition, C, H, O & N are regarded as non- mineral elements
16 are mineral elements: 7 Macro minerals are Ca, P, K, Na, S, Cl & Mg and 9 Micro minerals are Fe, I, Cu, Co, F, Mn, Zn, Mo and Se.
E. Vitamins: Organic substances required by animals in very small amounts for regulating various body processes. They all contain C, H, O and several contain N & mineral elements
F. Water: Contain H & O. Water is found in all feed (ranging from 10% to 80%). Besides serving as nutrient and other important body functions, it is very important factor in feed processing & storage &feed value

BASIC FUNCTION ACCESSORY FUNCTION
Proximate Analysis of Feedstuffs A system for approximating the value of a
feed or material for feeding purposes, without actually using the feed in feeding trial, was developed at the Weende Experiment Station in Germany over 100 years ago.
It based on the separation of feed components into groups or fractions in accordance with their feeding value.
The various fractions are: Water Crude fiber Crude protein Nitrogen-
free extract Crude fat or ether extract Mineral
matter or ash04/19/23 11
Proximate Analysis of Feedstuffs
Following proper procedures in obtaining and preparing a sample is essential for an accurate analysis on given lot of feed.
Procedures to determine the various fractions:1. Water- oven dry : Loss of wt during drying 100 =
% water Wt of sample after drying Wt of sample after drying 100 = % DM Wt of sample before drying
100 - %DM = water
04/19/23 12
2. Crude protein (CP) Kjeldahl methods-determine the amount
of ammonia nitrogen (N)
3. Crude fat (EE) Includes all of that portion of a feed
soluble in water. Crude fat is commonly referred to as ether extract. Extract the sample with ether in a Soxhlet extractor
.
04/19/23 13
4. Crude fiber (CF): This fraction was designed to include
those materials in a feed which are low digestibility. Included hare are cellulose, certain hemicelluloses, and some of the lignin, if present. Some of the lignin, however, may be included in the nitrogen-free extract.
- dry sample, extract sample with ether, boil sample with dilute sulfuric acid, filter, boil in dilute sodium hydroxide then filter, dry the residue and weigh, ash the sample
Wt of CF 100 = % CF Wt of original sample

5. Mineral matter or ash:
Ash in a furnace (600 °C)
04/19/23 15
6. Nitrogen-free extract: (NFE)
Commonly referred to as NFE. Includes mostly sugars and starches, and some of the more soluble hemicelluloses, and some of the more soluble lignin.
Since this fraction was designed to include the more digestible carbohydrates, any lignin which may come out here will to distort the meaningfulness of the NFE figure as lignin is essentially indigestible.
NFE is determined by difference-that is, all those fraction discussed above are added together and subtracted from 100.

As follows:% water% crude protein% crude fat% crude fiber% mineral matter
------------------------------------------------------
100 – Total = % NFE

7. Expressing compositions:
A. In percent (%). This simply say that a feed contains so many parts (grams, milligrams, micrograms, etc.) of a particular feed component per 100 parts of the overall feed.
04/19/23 18
B. In parts per million (ppm) This simply says that a feed contains so many parts (g, mg, mcg, etc.) of a particular feed component per1,000,000 parts of the overall feed.
04/19/23 19
C. In mg per kilograms (mg/kg).
This says a feed contains so many mg of some component per kilogram of the overall feed. Since a kilogram is equal to 1,000,000 mg, then “mg per kilogram” is the same “mg per million mg” or “parts per million”.
04/19/23 20
The composition of feeds may be expressed on any one or more of three dry matter bases.
A. As fed: Sometimes referred to as wet or fresh basis. On this basis dry matter of different feeds may range from 0% to 100%.
04/19/23 21
B. Air-dry: May be actual or an “assumed dry matter content” basis. The latter is usually 90%.
This basis is useful for comparing the composition of feeds having different moisture content.
Most feeds, but not all, are fed in an air-dry state.04/19/23 22
C. Oven-dry: Based on a moisture-free or 100% DM state.
Also useful for comparing feeds of different moisture contents.

Why Test Feeds?
Nutrient concentration can vary considerably in feeds, especially forages
Used feed tests to target specific feeds to different livestock
Feed test can help establish the RM value of a feed
Use feed test to help determine what feedstuffs to buy for feed processing activities
04/19/23 24
What causes nutrient concentration to vary? Plant species and variety-protein,
starch, fiber and toxins varies among varieties
Maturity-as forage plants mature, fiber concentration increases, concentration of DE & NE
Leafiness-leaves contain more CP & DE, harvest & storage conditions that save leaves result more CP and energy
04/19/23 25
What feeds should be analyzed?
Analyze all feedstuffs that influence ration cost or animal performance. Important when potential differences between estimated nutrient composition and actual composition are great
Forages: nutrient composition varies greatlyFeed grains: seasonal & geographical
differences-may influence future purchasesBy-products: vary considerably in nutrient &
moisture contentAlways test non-traditional feedstuffs
04/19/23 26
What causes nutrient concentration to vary? Harvest-good management
techniques ↑ nutritive values Storage-moisture content within
specific range Environment-temperature,
sunlight, soil moisture & fertility, diseases, weeds, insects
04/19/23 27
Methods of Feed TestingPhysical: sight, smell, touch…., stage of
maturity, foreign materials, best, color-provide limited information
Chemical-reliable & accurate predictions of animal performance
Near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopyIn vivo and in vitro
04/19/23 28
What analyses should be made?
Nutrients of primary concern: Ruminant (CP, DE or TDN, Ca, P), Monogastric (CP, amino acids, ME, CF, Ca, P)
Always compare cost of analysis to cost of supplement
Analysis for moisture, protein & energy are most important
Sampling is the key to accurate feed analysis
