Value of Feeding Materials and Protein Importance
The feeding value of stock foods depends on carbohydrates fat and protein usable by the animal. Carbohydrates mainly starch sugars and gums have lower value than fat due to poorer digestion and energy yield. Fat provides heat and energy and is more valuable. one pound of fat equals about 2.27 pounds of carbohydrates. Protein is nitrogenous and crucial for tissue repair growth and energy. animals can live on protein but not on fat or carbohydrates alone. Protein content strongly influences feed value. examples cite cottonseed meal $25 per ton with 40 percent protein and 10 percent fat, alfalfa hay $10 per ton with 14 percent protein, prairie hay $5 per ton with ~4 percent protein. Wool structure differs from other fibers. sheep wool fibers grow with uniform diameter after the first short tapered section, unlike horse or ox hairs which shed yearly.
