This document provides information on animal nutrition including the classification and composition of various feeds and fodders. It discusses summer and winter fodders as well as dry fodders. Several ration formulas are presented for dairy animals with different milk production levels. Feeding recommendations for calves including milk replacers and calf starters are also covered. The document concludes with discussions on feed supplements, mineral mixtures, baled rations, and health products.
The document discusses the nutritional requirements and feeding practices for dogs and cats at different life stages, highlighting their unique dietary needs. It covers the six major nutrients required by dogs and cats as well as special requirements for cats, such as their need for arachidonic acid and taurine. Guidelines are provided on feeding dogs and cats during pregnancy, lactation, weaning, adulthood, and geriatric stages.
Growth and fattening potential of cattle and buffalojam Waqas

This document discusses the growth and fattening potential of cattle and buffalo. It provides details from several studies on average daily weight gain, feed efficiency, and dressing percentage for different breeds in Pakistan such as Dhanni, Lohani, and Cholistani. When provided optimal feeding including cottonseed cake, maize gluten, and molasses, average daily gain can be improved to over 800g per day allowing animals to gain up to 300kg. Proper nutritional management is important to maximize growth rates and economic returns from cattle fattening operations.
The document provides information on various breeds of animals found in Pakistan. It discusses 10 breeds of buffaloes including the Nili-Ravi and Kundi breeds. It also discusses 10 breeds of cattle for milking and draught purposes including the Sahiwal, Dhanni, and Holstein Friesian. Further, it discusses 10 thin-tailed and 10 fat-tailed sheep breeds native to different parts of Pakistan and describes their characteristics.
Beef cattle are cattle raised for meat production (as distinguished from dairy cattle, used for milk production). The meat of adult cattle is known as beef. In beef production there are three main stages: cow-calf operations, backgrounding, and feedlot operations.
This document discusses reproductive disorders of farm animals. It describes anatomical, functional, and infectious causes of infertility and sterility. Anatomical defects can be congenital, such as freemartins in cattle twins, or acquired, like ovarian cysts. Functional disorders include anestrus, subestrus, and ovulatory defects. Infectious causes lead to conditions like pyometra and fetal maceration. The document provides details on various disorders and their symptoms, causes, and treatment options.
This document discusses precision feeding in dairy cattle. It defines precision feeding as meeting nutrient requirements with maximum precision to ensure efficient and safe production while minimizing environmental pollution. Precision feeding involves phase feeding, with different dietary formulations for early, mid, and late lactation. Key aspects of precision feeding discussed include improving nitrogen use efficiency, reducing methane emissions, and using additives to maintain rumen health and increase nutrient utilization.
The document discusses energy partition in animals. It defines various terms related to energy such as gross energy, digestible energy, metabolizable energy, and net energy. Gross energy is the total energy in feed. Digestible energy is gross energy minus energy lost in feces. Metabolizable energy is digestible energy minus losses in urine and gases. Net energy is metabolizable energy minus heat produced during digestion and metabolism. The document also discusses energy requirements for maintenance and production. Providing too little or too much energy can impact growth and health of animals.
The document discusses vitamins, specifically fat soluble vitamins. It provides definitions of vitamins and details the history of vitamin A discovery. Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is derived from carotenoids in plants and is essential for vision, epithelial cell maintenance, and bone development. The document outlines the digestion, absorption, transport, storage and excretion of vitamin A as well as requirements for different animal classes.
This document discusses disorders of the large intestine that can cause diarrhea in horses. It defines diarrhea and describes how it can be acute or chronic. Infectious causes of diarrhea discussed include salmonellosis, intestinal clostridiosis, cyathostomiasis, and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Toxic causes include NSAIDs, arsenic toxicity, and cantharidin toxicity. The pathophysiology of diarrhea is explained, focusing on disruption of the epithelial barrier and effects of inflammatory mediators. Diagnosis involves assessing history, clinical signs, hematological and biochemical parameters, and testing feces. Treatment focuses on fluid therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, and addressing electrolyte abnormalities.
This document discusses the energy requirements and feeding practices for various poultry species. It begins by explaining that poultry rations are calculated based on metabolizable energy levels and that high energy cereal grains are the main energy sources. It then provides the metabolizable energy levels recommended for broiler starter, grower, and finisher rations. Subsequent sections provide information on the energy requirements and recommended feeding practices for laying hens, geese, ducks, turkeys, and Japanese quail.
This document provides information on feeding cattle and buffalo, including:
1. Definitions of key terms like ration, balanced ration, concentrate, and roughage.
2. Guidelines for formulating balanced rations including determining nutrient requirements, understanding feed composition, and combining feeds to meet animal requirements.
3. Details on calculating nutrient requirements for maintenance, production, pregnancy, growth, and examples of such calculations.
4. Information on feedstuff composition and examples of nutrient profiles of common feeds.
5. Overview of formulating balanced rations by partitioning feeds into roughages and concentrates.
This document provides information on keeping pet birds. It discusses the history of pet birds, popular pet bird species like parakeets, finches and parrots, and their care requirements. Some key points covered include:
- Egyptians were the first to keep pet birds over 3500 years ago. Alexander's army brought back ring-necked and Alexandrine parakeets to Europe.
- Popular pet birds include parakeets, budgerigars, finches, cockatiels and parrots.
- Proper care involves providing a sufficiently sized cage, clean food and water, regular bathing/misting, nail and feather trimming, perches, and toys. Sanitation and preventing drafts
The document discusses transition cow management, which refers to the three weeks before and after calving. This is an important period as the cow's metabolism and nutrient demands dramatically increase. How the cow copes during this transition period will impact her performance for the rest of the lactation cycle. The document outlines the goals, stages, and feeding recommendations for transition cows. It emphasizes the importance of meeting calcium and energy demands through close-up rations with proper DCAD levels to minimize health issues in fresh cows.

It covers the six major nutrients required by dogs and cats as well as special requirements for cats, such as their need for arachidonic acid and taurine.
