Amino Acids
Essential amino acids: cannot be made in the monogastric animal’s body and must be obtained in the animal’s diet, e.g. lysine and methionine.
Non-essential amino acids: These can be manufactured in the body from other amino acids, e.g. alanine and glutamine.
-
Rumen microorganisms can synthesize amino acids and protein from Non Protein Sources Such as Urea and Ammonia

Energy
-
animals lose energy through faeces, urine, formation of methane gas, production of heat and movement.
-
Metabolisable energy is digestible energy minus the energy lost in the form of methane gas and urine production. (More in Ruminants - 19%)
Net energy: amount of energy available for use by the animal. This energy used for maintenance and production.
Types of Diet
Maintenance diet : amount of feed that allows an animal to maintain good health and condition with no loss or gain in weight.
Production diet : extra amount of feed required to produce 1 kg of live weight gain (LWG), 1 l of milk, 1 kg of wool, or to produce a calf or lamb.
