  2. Feed conversion ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_conversion_ratio

    Some data for sheep illustrate variations in FCR. A FCR (kg feed dry matter intake per kg live mass gain) for lambs is often in the range of about 4 to 5 on high-concentrate rations, [19] [20] [21] 5 to 6 on some forages of good quality, [22] and more than 6 on feeds of lesser quality. [23]

  3. Grain quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_quality

    In agriculture, grain quality depends on the use of the grain.In ethanol production, the chemical composition of grain such as starch content is important, in food and feed manufacturing, properties such as protein, oil and sugar are significant, in the milling industry, soundness is the most important factor to consider when it comes to the quality of grain.

  4. Total mixed ration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Mixed_Ration

    Total mixed ration (TMR) is a method of feeding beef and dairy cattle. A TMR diet achieves a wide distribution of nutrients in uniform feed rather than switching between several types. A cow's ration should include good quality forages, a balance of grains and proteins, vitamins and minerals. [1]

  5. Cattle feeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_feeding

    Grain-fed cattle have more internal fat (i.e., marbling) which results in a more tender meat than forage-fed cattle of a similar age. In some Asian countries such as Japan , which is not a grain-surplus country, tastes and preferences have encouraged feeding grain to cattle, but at a high cost since the grain must be imported.

  6. Feed manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_Manufacturing

    The quality of the prepared feed ultimately depends on the quality of the material such as the grain or grass used; the raw material should be of very good quality. Commercial feed manufacturing is an industrial process, and therefore should follow HACCP procedures.

  7. Animal feed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_feed

    The two most important feed grains are maize and soybean, and the United States is by far the largest exporter of both, averaging about half of the global maize trade and 40% of the global soya trade in the years leading up the 2012 drought. [8] Other feed grains include wheat, oats, barley, and rice, among many others.

  8. Intensive animal farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_animal_farming

    Pigs are naturally omnivorous and are generally fed a combination of grains and protein sources (soybeans, or meat and bone meal). Larger intensive pig farms may be surrounded by farmland where feed-grain crops are grown. Alternatively, piggeries are reliant on the grains industry. Pig feed may be bought packaged or mixed on-site.

  9. Falling number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_Number

    With the falling number test, so-called weather or sprout damaged wheat or rye, which adversely affects bread-making quality, could be detected at the grain silo intake within a few minutes. Sprouting or pre-harvest germination is caused by damp or rainy weather conditions during the final stage of maturation of the crop.
