PigsIII. Pearson squareIV. EnergyCurrent LectureThe Pearson Square- Foodo Energy Feeds: Carbs & Fats Fats are energy over a long period of time Corn, cookies, bakery waste, pastao Protein Feeds: (Most $ overall) Don’t give too much protein, gets urinated out anyway Instant energy Legumes (clovers)o Vitamins & Mineralso Water (most important)- USAo Majority of animal feed is soybean (48% protein) and corn (10% protein)These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.o Barley- almost a direct substitute for corn Cold weather crop~ can be grown up north and in Canada - Pigs (PearsonSquare)o 4 pounds offood a dayo 16% proteino 3260 kcal o 2.2 pounds=1kcal- Ruminants have theability to createproteino Also can make use of deadly toxins (urea)- If you are feeding microbes in the cecum, feeding the horse- Fish are 78% protein- Bakery waste is high in energy- Can be creative in what you do o Do not have to feed commercial feed o If you’re getting commercial feed, look at the content- Feather Meal (86% protein) byproduct of poultry industryo If you make the food palatable animals will want to eat it- Potato to cow eat it- Potato to pig will die if it’s not cooked- Fritos: salty must give animal enough watero Will develop salt poisoning & destroy brain - All Twinkie diet pigs will get to 160 pounds and then drop deado Not enough protein- If animal needs more protein you can plant different plant varieties in pasture (legumes-like clover) will put protein in other plants in soil o This will increase the protein in the animal, and horse will not overeat it- Ruminants (can create protein)o Can feed a lot of different thingso Can do well as long as you don’t drastically change their feed- Example of Pearson Square:- Much easier to add energy than decrease
