[QUOTE="angie1, post: 764728, member: 3886"] Now you have confused "concrete thinker" with stupid. I must have come across as offensive, as it looks like TB took me to have my hackles up also ~ so I apologize. Because you ask again, I will assume that you really give a rats axe, and are trying to figure out what I am talking about. [i][b]Nutrients[/b]—The chemical substances found in feedstuffs that can be used, and are necessary, for the maintenance, production, and health of animals. The chief classes of nutrients are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and water. [b]Nutrient requirement[/b]—The amount of a specific nutrient that is required to meet an animal’s minimum need for maintenance, growth, reproduction, lactation, and work. Nutritional requirements depend on the type, size, and physiological status of the animal.[/i] A calorie is not a nutrient ~ it is simply a measure, or a unit of measurement ( measures "energy"). What are you getting in that calorie? What are the carb, fat, protien, mineral and vitamin requirements of your animals, and is the feed you are giving meeting those needs? The calories in bread do not carry the required levels of protien, vitamins or minerals necessary for the maintenance, production and health of animals. Its like feeding your kids mac and cheese for every meal. Sure they like it, and you can bet they will fill out ~ but is it healthy? Does it meet the needs of their bodies? [/QUOTE]
