Fat Soluble Vitamins Dissolved in fat Vitamins A, D, E, and K Vitamin A - associated with healthy eyes, good conception rate, and disease resistance Vitamin D - assoc. with good bone development and mineral balance of the blood Fat Soluble Vitamins Vitamin E - associated with normal reproduction and muscle development Can also help immune system Vitamin K - Helps with blood clotting and prevents excessive bleeding from injuries Sources of Fat Soluble Vitamins Green leafy hay Yellow Corn Cod Liver Fish Oils Wheat Oil Vitamin D is produced in the body when sunlight is present Water Soluble Vitamins Vitamin C - Helps teeth and bone formation and prevents infections Vitamin B complex - needed for chemical reactions in the body and help improve appetite, growth and reproduction Sources of Water Soluble Vitamins Vitamin C is found in green pastures and also farm animals can produce enough vitamin C in their body Vitamin B complex sources- green pastures, cereal grains, hay, milk, fish solubles, and animal proteins Minerals Needed in small amounts Contain NO Carbon (if the feed was burned the ash left would be minerals) Provide material for growth of bones, teeth, tissue, regulate chemical processes, aid in muscular activities, and release energy for body heat Two types - Major and Trace Minerals Major Minerals Needed in large amounts Salt, calcium, and phosphorus Trace Minerals Needed in small amounts Potassium, sulfur, magnesium, iron, iodine, copper, cobalt, zinc, manganese, boron, molybdenum, fluorine, and selenium Most trace minerals are in the feed Water Makes up the most of the living organism (40%-80%) Helps dissolve nutrients, controls body temperature of the animals body. Water in the blood acts as a carrier of nutrients and is necessary for chemical reactions Animals can live longer without food than water Review Objectives Identify sources of nutrients and classes of feeds related to the ruminant and non-ruminant animals Describe sources of nutrients and classes of feeds related to the ruminant and non-ruminant animals
