Cattle feed presentation

1. CATTLE FEED
&
INDUSTRIAL USES

2. INTRODUCTION
• The by-products obtained during oil extraction from the seeds are Spill, Hull, Oil Cake,
Pressmud, Shell pieces etc.
• Oil cakes are of two types, edible and non-edible
• Edible oil cakes have a high nutritional value; especially protein content ranging
from 15% to 50% (www.seaofindia.com)
• Due to their rich protein content, they are used as animal feed, especially for cattle
and fish

3. • While, Non edible oil cakes (castor cake, karanja cake, neem cake) are used
as organic nitrogenous fertilizers, due to their N P K content. Some of these
oil cakes are found to increase the nitrogen uptake of the plant
• They also protect the plants from soil nematodes, insects, and parasites;
thereby over great resistance to infection (www.itdgpublishing.org.uk)

4. Classification of Feeds
1) Roughages/ Forages:
• Pasture, stockpiled forage, hay, silage, crop residues, and straws
• Pastures and stockpiled forage can often meet or exceed the protein and energy needs of most
cows, even lactating cows. Cool season grasses like fescue and orchard grass are very nutritious in
the leafy stages, but their nutritional value decreases rapidly as these grasses bloom
• Hays are usually adequate to marginal in energy and protein. Legume hays are high in protein
• Silage from corn or sorghums are moderate to high in energy and low in protein
• Straw and some crop residues may provide limited amounts of energy, but are very deficient in
protein

5. 2) Concentrates- Energy feeds
• Grains are high in energy and low to moderate in protein content. Corn is the standard
energy feed and is the most widely fed grain
• Molasses has 80% of the energy of corn and contains 14% more moisture. It is primarily
a palatability enhancer or a carrier for minerals
• Fats and oils contain 2-2.25 times the amount of energy per pound as corn, but they
should be used sparingly in cattle diets. Diets containing more than 5% fat can impair
rumen function
• High energy by-products include soybean hulls, hominy, distiller’s grains, brewer’s
grains, corn gluten feed and wheat middlings (mids)

6. 3) Concentrates- Protein feeds
• Soybean meal is the principal supplementary protein source in many livestock diets. It is a well
balanced natural protein with some by-pass properties. Whole soybeans, roasted or raw, can also be
fed to cattle, but they have a high fat content. Raw soybeans contain a protein digestion inhibitor so
they should be used sparingly. Whole soybeans contain about 15% less protein than soybean meal
• Cottonseed meal is slightly lower in protein content than soybean meal. Whole cottonseed is also
high in energy and fiber. Whole cottonseeds may also be fed to cattle, but it contains only half the
protein of cottonseed meal and are high in fat
• Poultry litter contains moderate levels of protein and marginal to adequate levels of energy. As long
as it is properly deep-stacked before feeding, it contains no harmful bacteria or other pathogens
• Urea is the most common non-protein nitrogen (NPN) fed. NPN must be fed with an energy source
that is readily available to the rumen. It should not make up more than 1% of the total diet or 3% of
the concentrate mix. Urea is often used in liquid protein supplements to increase the crude protein
(CP) value of the product or added to corn silage to boost the CP level

7. 4) Feed Supplements
• Feed supplements are the compounds used to improve the nutritional value of the basal
feeds so as to take care of any deficiency
• Commonly used feed supplements are
 Vitamin supplements e.g. Rovimix, Vitablend, Arovit etc.
 Mineral supplements e.g. Minimix, Milk min, Nutrimilk, Aromin etc.
5) Feed Additives
• Feed additives are the non-nutritive substances usually added to basal feed in small
quantity for the fortification in order to improve feed efficiency and productive
performance of the animals

8. • Some commonly used feed additives are
Antibiotics e.g. Terramycin, Zinc bacitracin, Flavomycin etc.
Enzymes e.g. Amylase, lipase, protease, pepsin etc.
Hormones eg. Estrogen, progesterone, hexosterol etc.
Probiotics e.g. Microbial species. Lactobacillus
Biostimulators e.g. Extracts of living organs like spleen, liver, ovary, chick embryo etc.
Antioxidants e.g. Vitamin E (Tocopherols), BHT ( Butylated hydroxy toluene)
Mold inhibitors e.g. Propionic acid, acetic acid
Pellet binders e.g Gur, meal, molasses, sodium bentonite

21. Importance of Nutrient Composition in Cow Feeding
• Protein: The protein is required to help chew.
• Dry Matter intake: The cow's appetite in terms of dry matter intake per day is related
to body weight and also amount of milk being yielded. In case of high yielding cows,
the ability to eat is more.
• Importance of minerals: A mineral mixture needs to be incorporated in mixed food.
Most oil cakes are rich in phosphorous and low in calcium whereas grassland products
are rich in calcium and low in phosphorous.

22. • Vitamins: The cow and calf can both manufacture their own vitamin D. Deficiency can be
avoided by feeding cod liver oil or vitamin A and D in powder form.
• Fibre: In order to concentrate the diet of high yielding cows use feeding stuff high in
digestible nutrients and low in fibre. Such foods are commonly known as concentrates and
they include cereal grains and oil cake.

23. As per the quality control manual of FCI the damaged food grains are classified into five Categories
for their disposal which may be declared fit for consumption by the livestock/poultry birds.

26. Conclusions
• With the growing opportunities in the cattle feed sector, the concept of feed is
converting to animal nutrition.
• The feed manufacturers are realizing the importance of serving animals with
essential nutrients as it strengthens the immune system of animals, improves their
health.
• This increases the productivity of the animals, which eventually increases revenue
in the acids & nutrients in animal nutrition market.
