How much phosphorus does a cow need?
Phosphorus content is variable, depending on the age, weight, type and level of production of your bovine. The maximum amount of phosphorus a bovine should have is 1% of DM (dry matter) ration. Phosphorus should be given ad libitum (free access), and come in the form of the following:Dicalcium phosphateDefluorinated phosphateBone meal (highly unrecommended to feed because of concerns of Mad Cow Disease)Soft phosphateSodium phosphateAmmonium polyphosphateOrthophosphatesMetaphosphatesPyrophoshatesTripolyphosphatesOilseed meals and animal and fish products contain large amounts of P. Phytate phosphorus is not well utilized by nonruminants, but ruminants appear to use considerable quantities of this form of P. Grains, grain by-products and high-protein supplements are fairly high in phosphorus. Rations high in such ingredients require little or no P supplementation.Calcium-phosphorus ratios of 2:1 are beneficial in reducing urinary calculi; and even higher levels of calcium may be necessary when urinary calculi is encountered. Ratios between calcium and phosphorus of 7:1 have been reported to be satisfactory for cattle.Note: Avoid feeding animal by-products like bone meal because for one, these products are outlawed to be fed to ruminants, and because these products fed to cattle have been known to be the source of BSE concerns in ruminants.
Are the birds non ruminants?
Yes, birds are non-ruminants.
Are canines present in ruminants?
yes canine teeth are present in ruminants
Are all foregut fermenters ruminants?
Yes. Hind-gut fermentors are psuedo-ruminants.
Are elephants ruminants?
no..............
What are the major differences in nutritional requirements of ruminants and non-ruminants?
The major difference is protein sources. Ruminants require less protein than non-ruminants, and consequently require more fibre in their diet than non-ruminants. Non-ruminants cannot digest fibre and cellulose nearly as well as ruminants can, and thus need higher concentrate feedstuffs to actually do well.
What animals are examples of non-ruminants?
following are the non ruminants..........HUMANS,PIG,MOUSE,HORSE etc
Are there examples of ruminants and non-ruminants in Africa?
