Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:06.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we talk about selecting feeds and evaluating feeds it's important to be
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.12,0:00:10.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,able to understand and read the labels that come with these manufactured feeds
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.56,0:00:15.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or pellets or whatever you might have. Nearly all of them have the same flow
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.16,0:00:20.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's kind of a regulated aspect as well from labeling, but the first thing
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.72,0:00:24.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they'll normally always have on the label is the crude protein content and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.80,0:00:29.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's a guaranteed analysis normally it'll be that or perhaps a little higher
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.92,0:00:36.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sometimes but for the most part these are formulated to be at or somewhere
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.32,0:00:41.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around that guaranteed level. If you notice on this tag it's listed as a
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.80,0:00:47.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,minimum of 12% based on ingredient cost or whatever it may actually be cheaper
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.68,0:00:51.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for them to formulate a feed that might be a little higher than that in protein
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.84,0:00:57.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and still meet the other label requirements. Next is listed crude fat
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.40,0:01:04.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's also listed as a minimum. In this particular one it's a 3% fat which is
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.32,0:01:10.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kind of a normal range on fat content in a lot of feeds. Once again it can range
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.16,0:01:14.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and vary from if they're using rice bran or whatever it may actually elevate the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.14,0:01:19.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fat level in a ration above that. In beef cattle nutrition that's not really a
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.32,0:01:23.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,problem when we get into issues in equine nutrition and elevated fat
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.96,0:01:27.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,contents and some other things may come into play a little more but we'd like to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.68,0:01:33.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know at least what that minimum level is. Next is a measure of fiber content for
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.44,0:01:41.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,crude fiber maximum level of in this particular feed of 13% that refers to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.08,0:01:46.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ingredients that go in and it's somewhat confusing now because of wheat
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.88,0:01:52.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meds, soybean hulls that have a fiber content that's not just indigestible
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.32,0:01:57.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fiber so we really need to then once we look at the fiber content on a feed we
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.24,0:02:00.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also have to refer to the ingredients to know exactly what that's going to mean
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.64,0:02:05.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from an energy standpoint. Back before we started using a lot of those feeds the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.72,0:02:09.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fiber content was a really good indicator of overall energy value of
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.88,0:02:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that feed now it's going to be probably lower than what the actual energy value
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.00,0:02:21.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,might be in some of the feedstuffs. Once we have the protein fat and fiber the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.44,0:02:26.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,next thing to be listed in there would be the mineral content of these, calcium
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.12,0:02:30.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they'll normally have a minimum and maximum level of calcium listed on the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.52,0:02:37.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tag, phosphorus, salt content, potassium and vitamin content on these particular
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.04,0:02:42.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,feeds. So those are the ones that would be listed here on the label as you look
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.04,0:02:46.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,down through here the crude protein, fat, fiber. Once again those are indications
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.72,0:02:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of what the formulation guarantees as a minimum and maximum level. Below that on the feed tag
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.00,0:02:59.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll have the ingredient list and there's not as much restriction perhaps
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.72,0:03:04.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in that as would be in the actual formulation and calculation but it will normally list
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.60,0:03:11.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the main ingredients first, grain products being descriptive in some of
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.96,0:03:17.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these feeds. If it's all corn based ration it might have corn listed but it'll have grain
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.68,0:03:22.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,products, molasses products, roughage products and they can be from varying
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.12,0:03:26.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sources that allows a lot of flexibility in the manufacturing of feeds to where you're
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.52,0:03:30.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not limited to changing your label every time you change ingredients in the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.64,0:03:34.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,formulation of a feed and once again the unique ability of the cow to take
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.96,0:03:41.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,various feedstuffs and convert them into a meat product or milk product is
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.00,0:03:44.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something that is really advantageous to the industry so it doesn't really
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.84,0:03:49.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,matter what those particular products are that go into that ration as long as
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.64,0:03:53.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these crude protein, fiber and fat levels are met.
