1. Protein nutrition for dairy cows is based upon nitrogen content. Why?
Protein nutrition for dairy cows is based upon nitrogen content because it will help the production of microbial protein. Nitrogen and amino acids help the microbes in preparing microbial protein. These microbes take nitrogen, amino acids, and carbohydrates so as to produce their own body protein. It improves the quantity as well as quality of milk. Protein deficiency in dairy cattle may produce low appetite, weight loss, poor growth, reduced reproductive performance and milk quantity as well as quality.
1. Protein nutrition for dairy cows is based upon nitrogen content. Why?
Proteins differ in nitrogen content based on their AA compositions, but they average about 16 % (w/w) nitrogen overall. Given this average, calculate the daily diet ary protein requirement to maintain nitrogen balance assuming you excrete 140 mg of N/kg body mass each day.
The Kjeldahl method was used to determine the nitrogen content of a protein. A 275 uL aliquot of a 45.1 mg/mL protein solution was digested in boiling sulfuric acid. The solution was made basic and the liberated NH, was collected in 5.00 mL of 0.0512 M HCl. A volume of 7.01 mL of 0.0174 M NaOH was required to react with the excess HCl. Calculate the weight percent of nitrogen in the protein. weight percent: wt%N
The Kjeldahl method is the most widely used method for determining the protein content of foods. It is based on the fact that protein is the only macronutrient (major nutrient) that contains nitrogen. The method gives the value of g of nitrogen per 100 g of food. That value is then multiplied by a constant, 6.25 g protein per g of nitrogen, to give the result expressed as g of protein per 100 g of food. a. Explain why this...
П. Akimora Dairy began operations on April 1, 2015, with purchase of 250 milking cows for ¥8,500,000. It has completed the first month of operations and has the following information for its milking cows at the end of April 2015 (000 omitted). Milking cows ¥(250,000) Change in fair value due to growth and price changes* Decrease in fair value due to harvest (15,000) Milk harvested during April 2015 (at net realizable value) 90,000 *Due to a very high rate of...
Identify the best explanation why and how protein is broken down in the body? From nutrition class
The classification of organic compounds is based upon: A. Sugar content B. Temperature of a solution C. Percentage of hydrogen D. Functional groups
Part III: Nutrition Grains Protein The goal of this part of the assignment is to make a meal with the recommended proportions of macronutrients (see figure to right) - so about half of your meal should be protein + grain (a little more grain than protein), and about half of your meal should be fruits + vegetables (a little more vegetable than fruit). To figure out proportions you can measure the amount of each nutrient using measuring cups. For example,...
