CONTENTS |
Theory:Metabolic functions of water. Metabolism of carbohydrates: classification, digestion, absorption and utilization in monogastric and ruminant animals; glycolysis, lactic acid and volatile fatty acid fermentation, citric acid cycle, pentose phosphate pathway, gluconeogenesis, glycogenesis and glycogenolysis. Metabolism of Lipids: classification, digestion, absorption and utilization in monogastric and ruminant animals; beta oxidation of fatty acids, fate of glycerol with respect of fat synthesis, glucose/glycogen synthesis and its oxidation, storage of fat, catabolism of fat and ketosis. Metabolism of proteins: classification, digestion, absorption and utilization in monogastric and ruminant animals; essential and non-essential amino acids, protein quality, fate of absorbed amino acids, transamination, deamination, deamidation, transmethylation, decarboxylation and interconversion of amino acids;. utilization of non-protein nitrogenous compounds in ruminants.
Practicals:Proximate analysis of feeds and feed ingredients: determination of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber and total ash. Acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) analysis.
