Fodervetenskap och vallfoderproduktion

Den här kursen vänder sig till dig som vill fördjupa dig inom foderanalyser, fodervärdering och foderproduktion. En särskild tonvikt ligger på vallfoder, men övriga fodermedel behandlas också, liksom utfodringsaspekter för icke grovfoderätande djurslag. Kursen innehåller förutom föreläsningar praktiska moment i form av foderanalyser, växtkännedom och studiebesök. Dessutom ingår övningar i foderoptimering och odlingsplanering av vall för olika ändamål. Kursdelarna om vallproduktion genomförs tillsammans med växtodlingsstudenter för att skapa en gemensam bas för framtida yrkesverksamhet.

Information från kursledaren

Hi everybody!

Please, be aware that a "new" timetable is now available (with small changes as compared with the former one).

See you soon (on Zoom)!

Best,

Horacio

Betygskriterier

Course: HV0166 Feed science and forage production 2021

Grade and grade criteria

5

The student can explain how the nutritional value can be manipulated by different types of forage conservation and concentrate processing

The student can identify the mechanisms that renders feeds their different nutritional and antinutritional properties and be able to apply the principles for predicting properties for new feeds

The student can point out limitations in current methods for feed analysis and feed evaluation and evaluate the effect of current analytical uncertainty.
Lab report at least grade 5.

The student can apply an optimization tool to solve problems on pricing of feeds

The student can suggest suitable forage species and seed mixtures for different production situations

The student can explain mechanisms that reduce rumen protein degradation in certain forage species
Lab report at least grade 5.

4

The student can explain mechanisms that causes detoriation in feed conservation

The student can explain methods for reducing antinutritional properties

The student can explain detailed analytical fractionation of feeds for ruminants and important additional analyses for monogastrics.
Lab report at least grade 4.

The student can explain the output from a sensitivity report

The student can explain conflicts between production and biodiversity conservation at semi-natural pastures

The student can explain the main differences between the most important forage species in how the nutritional value change with increasing development stage.
Lab report at least grade 4.

3

The student can name key analyses that indicates hygienic quality of conserved feeds and describe the requirements for a safe conservation of forage of different dry matter concentration and botanic origin

The student can describe the most important nutritional properties for important feed categories. The student can also describe factors associated with these categories that reduce nutrient availability or have toxic effects.

The student can describe the components of the proximate analysis, digestibility assays for forage, the detergent system, the principles for calculation of the feed's energy value and protein supply from the analyses and how they are used for routine feed evaluation.
Lab report at least grade 3.

The student can use an optimization tool in a systematic way to create rations for different animal categories

  1. student can describe suitable forage production strategies for different farm types.

The student can describe in general how forage botanical category, development stage and fertilization influence quantity as well as energy and protein value of the forage.
Lab report at least grade 3.

The student can identify the most important ethical considerations in current feeding practices of the most important livestock species

Learning
objective

Suggest and justify relevant process technologies and methods for harvest and storage of feeds of vegetable and animal origin and be able to evaluate the influence on the nutritional and hygienic quality of the feed

Define and explain nutritional and anti-nutritional properties of different feeds

Suggest and describe relevant analyses for determining the nutritional content of the feed and the feeding value,

Understand the basic principles for optimization of a diet or a feed mixture

Give concrete guidance in issues that concern forage production and utilization of forage from both production and nature conservation viewpoints

Analyze how different factors of forage cultivation influence quantity and nutritional quality of the forage considering its use as a feed for different animal species or for other purposes

Discuss ethical considerations in choosing feed and feeding strategy

N.B. Unfortunately, this book is currently out of stock, and I have now got the new information from Crowood Press in UK that it will not be reprinted in due time for this course. However, since you need it already in the beginning of the course, I will recommend you to get the on-line version, e.g. available on https://www.adlibris.com/se/e-bok/improved-grassland-management-9781847977274 There will also be some books in the Ultuna library, both e-books and printed versions.
