19Nutrient Composition of Feeds

INTRODUCTION

The historical background for systems of naming feeds and describing their chemical composition and nutritive value has been reviewed (Tyler, 1975; Harris et al., 1980). In the 1950s, the National Research Council (NRC) began publishing tables of nutrient composition of feeds (NRC, 1945, 1956) and cereals and forages (NRC, 1945, 1958). Additional publications followed that attempted to standardize nomenclature and update nutrient composition data (NRC, 1971, 1982; Fontenot et al., 1995). Data for this report were prepared in collaboration with the Feed Composition Committee of the National Animal Nutrition Program,^¹ a National Research Support Project (NRSP-9).^²

SOURCE OF DATA

Numerous feeds are incorporated into diets for dairy cattle. For example, in 1978, the International Network of Information Centres listed 17,000 registered feedstuffs (Tran and Lapierre, 1997). The committee attempted to construct tables of reliable data on the composition of common feeds fed to dairy cattle in North America. Where applicable, variations in moisture, processing, grade, and harvest practices are reflected in the name. Feedstuffs are also further assigned a classification (animal protein, calf feed, by-product/other, energy source, grain crop forage, grass/legume forage, calcium soaps, oil, nonprotein nitrogen, plant protein, pasture, and vitamin/mineral) and type (dry forage, wet forage, and concentrate). This classification scheme is used in various equations within the model. All names and classifications are unique to this report and do not follow the International Feed Name and Number system (Harris et al., 1980); however, the committee attempted to use feed names that are consistent with national feed control officials (AAFCO, 2016).

Data summarized in Table 19-1 later in this chapter were derived from data graciously donated by the following commercial laboratories: Cumberland Valley Analytical Services (Waynesboro, PA, but formerly Hagerstown, MD), Rock River Laboratory (Watertown, WI), Dairyland Laboratories (Arcadia, WI), and Dairy One (Ithaca, NY). Five years of feed composition data were requested from each lab in the spring of 2015 and received soon after this request. The individual fatty acid (FA; not total fatty acids [TFAs]) and amino acid (AA) data presented in Table 19-2 later in this chapter were provided by Cornell University (Higgs et al., 2015). AA data were not corrected for microbial contamination that may exist in residues isolated to estimate rumen escape of feed protein (Paz et al., 2014). Tables 19-1 and 19-2 contain a small number of values that originated from other sources, including literature data, the eighth revised edition of the Nutrient requirements of Beef cattle (NASEM, 2016), and unpublished data provided by university researchers. These values can be identified in the tables when a mean is reported but the corresponding number of observations (N) and standard deviation (SD) are not reported. Feed composition listed in this report reflects data available from the listed sources, and methods to generate them may not necessarily follow all analytical methods described in Chapter 18. Table 19-1 includes the mean, N, and SD, and when no data were available, these estimates are blank, but a value of zero indicates that the analyte was measured but the concentration was zero (or below detection limits). Based on SD, some nutrients do not follow a normal distribution, and the mean may not be the best indicator of central tendency, but to be consistent, means were used for all nutrients and feeds. Aside from dry matter (DM), all data are presented on a moisture-free or DM basis. Data that were generated from wet chemistry could not be differentiated from data derived from near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy, and as a consequence, both sources of data were used. Mineral data, however, were only from wet chemistry analyses.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND GENERATION OF DATA

The number of observations used for each nutrient and each feed can vary; consequently, variations in reliability or confidence also exist. Data in tables mostly reflect broad populations, and users should use data from more specific populations (e.g., specific production process or geographic area) when available. Mean values are estimates of central tendency of a population; a specific sample may differ greatly from the mean. Ranges and SD should be used to evaluate the reliability of the mean value to reflect the value of a specific sample. Means with a large N will better reflect the total population (but not necessarily a specific sample). A mean with a large SD may represent the total population but may be a poor estimate for a specific sample. New to this report is the greater detail provided regarding statistical variation, namely, minimum, maximum, 10th percentile, and 90th percentile. When the minimum or maximum differs greatly from the 10th percentile and 90th percentile values, respectively, the data likely do not follow a normal distribution, and the mean and SD may not be the appropriate statistics for central tendency and dispersion. For example, in Table 19-1, alfalfa meal has a mean iron (Fe) concentration of 951 mg/kg with an SD of 680. The minimum value is 1.4 SD units from the mean, but the maximum concentration is 4.1 SD units from the mean. These data are clearly skewed, with a few samples having very high concentrations of Fe; the median is 726 mg/kg or almost 24 percent less than the mean. Users are encouraged to evaluate all of the statistics (mean, SD, minimum, maximum, and 10th and 90th percentiles) before deciding whether the use of the mean is appropriate. Within feeds, the number of observations can differ across analytes, and this may represent a source of inconsistency when working with mean values because of covariance (Sauvant and Ponter, 2004). Sources of variation include analytical methodology and variation, subsampling practices, and factors such as crop variety, climate, soil type, length of storage, or method of processing (St-Pierre and Cobanov, 2007; St-Pierre and Weiss, 2015). Data from the tables are not intended to replace proper analytical testing and optimal sampling frequency but to serve as a reference on the nutrient composition for populations of feedstuffs.

Data generated from commercial testing laboratories generally classify feeds based on the feed name provided by the user, and because of ambiguities in feed names and other issues, feeds are often misclassified. Because of this problem, a statistical method developed to screen and classify feed data (Yoder et al., 2014) was used. The method was modified to operate on Python (Python Programming Language, v. 2.7; Tran et al., 2020). A total of 2.761 × 10⁶ records received from the four labs were used to develop the procedures and to construct the table summarizing feed composition. Feed names and variables across labs were standardized, and obvious erroneous data points and duplicated samples were removed. Histograms and univariate analysis were used to identify and remove outliers having key nutrients outside of mean ± (3.5 × SD). Key nutrients were the analytes used for within-laboratory clustering analysis to identify groups of feeds within a named feedstuff. Typically, the key nutrients were DM, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), ash, and sometimes lignin, starch, crude fat (CF), and hemicellulose. In addition, although water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) are listed in Table 19-1, ethanol soluble carbohydrates (80 percent ethanol extraction) were used in the cluster analysis for some feeds. Two multivariate analyses (principal component analysis and clustering) were used to eliminate additional outliers and to identify potential subpopulations. Samples with a principal component score greater than 3.5 × SD from the mean score were removed. Clustering analysis was conducted to identify the existence of subpopulations of feeds within a feed name. In a few cases, expertise of several committee members was relied on to identify subpopulations. Analytes used in the clustering steps are described in Tran et al. (2020). Aside from the clustering step that was programmed in Python to automatically run SAS (SAS Institute, Cary, NC) underneath, all steps were programmed automatically, followed by a manual evaluation step of the resulting Pearson correlation matrix and clusters. The input data of each of the four labs contained 42, 94, 162, and 270 feeds and were made up of 28 to 37 nutrients. The resulting database contains 173 feeds (1.489 × 10⁶ records), and 111 feeds had more than one cluster or subpopulation. The sum of analytes will not necessarily total 100 percent because of analytical (e.g., ash contamination of NDF) and statistical (e.g., different sample size for different nutrients) issues. Nutrients listed in animal protein sources, which are high in CP, often sum to more than 100 percent. For these animal protein sources, the use of a nitrogen-to-CP conversion factor of 6.25 usually leads to an overestimation of the actual protein content (Mariotti et al., 2008). Residual organic matter (ROM), which is used in energy calculations of this report, is determined as 100 minus the sum of ash, FAs, CP, NDF, and starch. In rare situations, ROM was negative, but that was left in to partially compensate for the energy provided by the calculated excess nutrients. For convenience, the electronic feed library associated with the model contains some commonly commercially available supplements such as rumen-protected AAs and organic trace minerals, but fields are blank, and the user will have to use their own data, expertise, and judgment to populate these.

Energy

Table 19-1 lists the base digestible energy (DE), which was calculated from the mean nutrient data for each entry (see below and Chapter 3 for more detail). The computer model will generate DE, metabolizable energy (ME), and net energy for lactation (NEL) values for the diet based on user inputs of specific nutrients and equations outlined in Chapter 3. Energy values depend on diet (not ingredient) composition and feed intake; therefore, the DE values in Table 19-1 are standardized to a base value. These values were calculated assuming a DM intake (DMI) of 3.5 percent of body weight, dietary starch concentration of 26 percent, and a diet NDF content of 30 percent so that endogenous fecal CP was equal to 15.6 g/kg DM or 0.088 Mcal/kg DM. Undigested bacterial CP was assumed to be 16.5 g/kg DM or 0.093 Mcal/kg based on the average quantity of microbial protein synthesized in the data set used to derive the microbial protein synthesis equation (1,875 g/d and average DMI was 22.7 kg/d), and endogenous ROM was assumed to be 34.3 g/kg DM or 0.137 Mcal/kg DMI. Total endogenous energy was calculated as 0.088 + 0.093 + 0.137 = 0.318 Mcal/kg DMI.

For fat supplements, the digestion coefficients are listed in Chapter 4. For fat supplements that contain essentially only FAs (not triglycerides [TGs]), base DE is calculated using the following equation:

Total FA (TFA) × (Fat digestibility coefficient / 100) × 0.094 − 0.318

(Equation 19-1)

For fat supplements that are made up of mostly TGs, the base DE is calculated using the following equation:

(TFA × (Fat digestibility coefficient / 100) × 0.094) + [(100 − Ash − (TFA/1.06)) × 0.96 × 0.043] − 0.318

(Equation 19-2)

For feedstuffs made up of animal proteins, base DE is calculated using the base energy equations (see Chapter 3) except that the starch and NDF terms were deleted because animal products do not contain those compounds:

(0.73 × TFA × 0.094) + ((CP × (RDP / 100) + (CP × (RUP / 100) × dRUP)) × 0.056) + (0.96 × (100 − TFA/1.06 − CP − Ash) × 0.04) − 0.318

(Equation 19-3)

Note: TFA and CP are percent of DM while rumen-degradable protein (RDP) and rumen-undegradable protein (RUP) are percent of CP and dRUP (percentage of RUP).

For sugars, crude glycerol and other sugar alcohols, base DE is calculated as follows:

(100 − Ash) × 0.040 × 0.96 − 0.318

(Equation 19-4)

Note: The enthalpy of sugars and glycerol differs slightly (e.g., pure glycerol = 4.3 Mcal/kg and sucrose = 4.0 Mcal/kg), but for simplicity, the same enthalpy was used (4 Mcal/kg).

Total Fatty Acids

CF values represent the total ether-soluble content of a feed but are a poor index of the true FA content of many feeds. CF values are reported but not used in this edition because the concentration of FAs in a feed is the better measure of the true fat content of a feedstuff (Sukhija and Palmquist, 1988) and results in more accurate energy values. When available, the TFA value in the tables was from data collected from commercial laboratories; however, when actual TFA data were unavailable, FA was usually estimated as CF − 1, and neither N nor SD were reported. For forages, this estimate is not accurate, and a regression equation was used: TFA = CF × 0.5678 (Daley et al., 2018) to generate estimated TFA concentrations. When this equation was used to estimate TFA, a mean TFA was reported, but N or SD was not reported.

Carbohydrates and Lignin

In some cases, data that were derived with different analytical techniques were used. Lignin and ash concentrations are only used to estimate energy values, and most lignin values were determined using sulfuric acid detergent lignin (ADL). Crude fiber concentrations are not presented because the values have little meaning nutritionally. WSC are not used in any calculations contained in this report and are listed in Table 19-1 for reference purposes only but do comprise a portion of the ROM fraction. In vitro rumen NDF digestibility (IVNDFD48) is reported, and 48-hour incubations were used. Values of various carbohydrate fractions (acid detergent fiber [ADF], NDF, WSC, and starch) and lignin for animal proteins were set to zero as any detection of these analytes represents artifacts of the assay and not the nutritive entities intended to be described by the assays (see Chapter 18). Values may differ when the chemical composition of a feed mixture containing animal proteins is determined through direct chemical analysis and when chemical composition is determined through computation using values from Table 19-1.

Minerals

Mean concentrations of minerals are in Table 19-1; however, before using these values, the reader should examine the SD. Soil concentrations of minerals are highly variable, and geographic differences exist for the mineral concentrations of many feeds. For most trace minerals, the SD is high and data generally fit a nonnormal distribution. Variable contamination with soil likely contributes to the high variation. A substantial source of variation is sampling error (St-Pierre and Weiss, 2015). When evaluating single sample results for copper (Cu), Fe, manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn), caution should be exercised, especially for forages. Reliable data were not available for cobalt, chromium, and iodine in feedstuffs; thus, they are not included in Table 19-1. Concentrations of molybdenum (Mo) are provided only in reference to Cu availability. Composition of common mineral supplements is listed in Table 19-3 later in this chapter.

Protein

Soluble protein is listed in Table 19-1 for reference purposes only, and values were not used in any model calculations. Oil from soybeans may be obtained through mechanical processes (extrusion/expelling) or through solvent extraction. These processes result in meals of different chemical composition and nutrient availability (Karr-Lilienthal et al., 2006). Extrusion is a process in which material is placed under pressure and is pressed, pushed, or protruded through a small orifice (Jiang et al., 2011; AAFCO, 2016). The resulting meal has a much higher fat content than solvent-extracted soybean meal (Giallongo et al., 2015). When oil is removed by grinding the soybean and then pressing the oil out under high pressure, the product is called soybean meal, expellers. In the current feed library, feedstuffs resulting from soybean processing are referred to as (1) soybean meal, solvent extracted, 48 percent CP; (2) soybean meal, extruded; and (3) soybean meal, expellers. A number of different branded products are considered soybean meal, expellers, 48 percent CP, but they are not differentiated in this report.

The RUP content of diets was determined by calculations outlined in Chapter 6. This method was also used to calculate the RUP content of individual feeds listed in Table 19-1, assuming a standard cow weighing 650 kg and consuming 23 kg of feed (i.e., 3.5 percent of body weight). This method uses different calculations based on feed classification. Parameters for rumen disappearance (A, B, and C) and coefficients for the digestibility of RUP (dRUP) were determined from values compiled from literature data and other sources. When data on protein fractions were not available, fractions from comparable feeds were assigned. Although differences in maturity of forages may affect these fractions, data were not always available, so the same values were assigned across maturity classes.

Feed Names and Maturity Classes

Common names were used to designate feeds. As in the previous edition, data for different species of cool-season grasses (i.e., C3 grasses) were combined into a single classification (cool-season grasses). The classification is appropriate because macronutrient composition does not vary greatly among different perennial cool-season grass species (Cherney et al., 1993). Similarly, common legumes such as alfalfa, clover, and trefoil were combined into a single classification (legume hay or legume silage). Where possible, maturity classifications as determined through cluster analysis were added. Within forages, entries were classified as immature, mid-maturity, and mature. Typically, less mature forages contain a lower concentration of NDF, but growing conditions may alter that relationship. Mean NDF concentrations included in each entry are in Table 19-1; however, unlike in the last edition, distinct NDF cutoff values were not used. With clustering analysis, some overlap of NDF (and other analytes) concentrations between different forage maturity classes occurs. Because of the widespread use of mixed legume and grass forages, entries were included for this type of forage. The difference in hemicellulose concentrations, estimated as the NDF minus ADF (Van Soest et al., 1991), between legumes and grasses was used to partition some forages into mostly (>70 percent) grass mixtures (>17 to 22 percent hemicellulose), mixtures with approximately equal grass and legume (>13 to 17 percent hemicellulose), and mostly (>70 percent) legume (10 to 13 percent hemicellulose). Maturity classification for mixed forages was also based on NDF concentrations. Maturity of corn silage was estimated from DM content. Generally, as corn plants mature, DM increases (Wiersma et al., 1993).
