Minerals Importance

Question: What is the importance of these minerals in laying hens? -protein? -Amino acids -Vitamin D3 -fats any other important ones you can think of Thanks

Answer: They're all important, and the correct balance is important as well. I wish you had mentioned why you want this information, so I am not sure how to tailor this information for your needs, but here goes. :) Protein is important for feather growth and egg production. Laying hens need a feed of 15-16% protein. More, and you are wasting it and stressing their kidneys. Less, and they might begin to eat the feathers from other birds (feathers are very high in protein) Amino acids are part of a protein. Animal-based proteins include all the needed amino acids. If you feed your birds an all vegetable diet (and they are not vegetarians, by the way), you would need to research which vegetable sources contain which amino acids to be sure they are getting what they need. Calcium! Without it, they will use the calcium from their bones to form their shells. If their feed is their only source of calcium, some people believe they will eat too much and get fat. I have not noticed that, however. Vitamin D3: increases the phytate P retension in bone by improving the absorption of calcium, certain combinations of hydroxylated derivatives of Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) improve shell quality, and new research suggests that the D3 content of eggs can be increased by raising the amount of D3 fed to hens. Trace minerals (not listed above) play various roles in chicken health and their absorption is effected by other ingredients in the feed. The scientific discussion on this particular topic continues. You don't say why you want this information, but if it is to make your own feed, you are looking at one whopper of a task. Commercial feed is produced with the correct balance of these and other ingredients. Meat products are no longer used, hormones (despite the propaganda) are not added, and the only medication permitted in commercial feed is amprolium in baby chick feed to help build their immunity to coccidiosis. If you want a completely organic feed, those are available as well. http://www.plamondon.com/faq_feed.html This is an excellent page regarding chicken nutrition and feed. Read the entire thing! I could have just cut and pasted it here, but I don't believe in plagiarizing the work of others: If you want this information for a report of some kind, below you will find sources for more technical information. More info: Some of the minerals needed in general chicken feed are zinc, copper, iodine, magnesium, calcium, sodium (0.15%, also equal to 0.37% sodium chloride), phosphorus, potassium, manganese, and iron. Some of the vitamins needed by chickens that must be in their feed are Vitamin E (requirements vary as bird grows and diet changes), Vitamin D, Vitamin A (may be Vitamin A or pro-vitamin A), Vitamin K, Thiamine, Niacin, Pyridoxine, Riboflavin, Pantothenic acid, biotin, Vitamin B12, choline and folacin. http://poultryone.com/articles/formrations.html (you can also find here the method for making your own feed, but simply balancing protein and corn is only part of it) Here you can find specific requirements of everything for every kind of chicken: http://www.afn.org/~poultry/flkman9.htm Best wishes!

Question: What is the importance of rocks and minerals and what do they provide us ? hey its me again and i really need help so please answers my question THANKS and also can u be kinda specific

Answer: Minerals and the rocks they make make up the crust of Earth. How would Earth support life if there was no surface to live upon? Some minerals and elements are necessary for life. Like NaCl. Think about all the things that are made from or come from rocks. You can answer that. For example, did you know that the minerals talc and mica are commonly used in makeups?

Question: former veternarian turned physician did study on importance of minerals in diet? I did a paper of this in 1997 from a cassette tape I had heard. These studies included importance of vitamins and minerals you can put in your diet and some people no longer needed insulin, hypertension medications, etc...

Answer: What is your question ? Natural medicine attests to individual physiology .If you live making poor dietary choices or in an area with particularly poor soil you will get mineral deficiencies Australian soil is low in zinc for example. .As my favourite lecturer puts it 'there's a wide range to normal'

Question: What is the importance of vitamins and minerals?

Answer: Vitamins and minerals act as catalysts in the human body; they speed up chemical reactions, allowing many reactions to take place in a very small amount of time. Without them, the reactions that take place in our cells would be considerably slower, and it would take much longer for our cells/bodies to do anything, whether it be produce a certain protein, hormone, etc.

Question: Mass Effect 1 Minerals importance? I own the first and second Mass Effect games. When I bought the second, because of the ability to import your character and elements of the story/choices you made on the first one, I decided to blow through the first one fast and just play the main quest missions, just to check out how it changes the second one. I saw how different the second one's story was altered in ways, and I know that's going to play a critical role in how the third one ends, so I'm pretty stoked. Now I decided to really buckle down and play the first one all the way through, including sub missions and all. I am very much aware how time consuming the searching for minerals mission is. It's long.... ugh so tedius... but I really want to get this one 100% taken care of. I've gone through almost all the planets in the system, I have all the artifacts and what not, just having to deal with those cursed minerals. Now my question (sorry for the delay) is this: ....does it really have an effect on how the first one ends at all? Even more, does anyone know if it has any relevancy in the second Mass Effect? I'm leveling my character up still, even in my "New Game+" and I know that the higher level you beat the game with, you gain some perks like extra money, resources and a level or two higher to start off on the second game, but yeah.. that minerals mission.. that's really the only thing that's bugging me. I really want to get the most out of the third and final (sadly) game in the series, but I also really can't stand landing, scanning, locating, landing, locating, over and over. So again the question: does it change anything in the second? Thanks for the help, and sorry for the edlay in the question, I felt I had to explain it all so it makes more sense.. if it does lol

Answer: I carried over my level 60 character from Mass Effect 1 and I didn't finish getting all of the minerals. The only thing it does for you is it gives you experience and credits. It has no effect in ME2. The perks you get for importing a level 60 character is you start out at level 5, 300,000 credits and 50,000 of the four resources you use for research and upgrades.

Question: what is importance of vitamins and minerals in our life? i want it for the purpose of science talk

Answer: Vitamins and minerals keep the body healthy and running well from the inside out. The majority of our vitamins and minerals come from a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" - one apple has over 140 nutrients. Remember when Mom would try to make you eat lima beans with corn? That's because corn has vitamins that the beans are missing. In doing your research, try looking up the different vitamins and minerals and see what they are used for in the body and what foods they come from.

Question: Do most ferilizers contain all the crucial trace minerals for plant and animal nutrition? I have become increasingly aware of the importance of trace minerals (micronutrients) in plant nutrition which is passed on to humans and animals. I'm wondering if most fertilizers that you buy at a nursery or a co-op come loaded with necessary trace elements or if I need to buy a supplement in addition to the regular fertilizer.

Answer: Agree with Dave--do learn about organic (non chemical) gardening. Start a compost pile-- remember, only kitchen items-- coffee grounds, tea leaves, peels of cucumber -- et cetera. something big like watermelon rind-- cut it up in small pieces to aid decomposition. No meat/fats/-- egg shells are OK. If you don't have a container-- three things can be done off the top of my head-- one-- a hole in the ground-- after that day's kitchen waste- a shovel full of dirt over the waste-- two--a pile on top of the ground-- does better in some sort of container-- use dirt there, too-- the micro-organisms are in the dirt that begins the process. A third way-- dig small holes around the yard where you want the compost-- and cover it with dirt. Start this now-- and learn about the rest over the winter. Just don't throw away the "good stuff" that makes good black dirt. good luck Most dogs don't mess with kitchen waste-- so that should be OK.
