Conclusion Nutrient requirements include those for protein, energy, vitamins, minerals, and water. Nutrient requirements vary dramatically among animals and are influenced by age, weight, stage of production, rate of growth, environmental conditions, breed, gender, and other factors. Tabular data provided in this chapter should assist beef producers in determining specific nutrient requirements for their cattle. QUIZ What is the DIP, UIP, or MP Factors that affect nutrient requirements？ Calculation of DIP requirement and supply. Cow: a mature female bovine that has given birth to at least one or two calves.?Colloquially, the term cow is also in reference to the Bos primigenius species of domestic cattle, regardless of age, gender, breed or type.

Heifer: a female bovine (often immature, but beyond the calf stage) less than 1 to 2 years of age that has never calved. Such females, if theyve never calved beyond two years of age may also be called heiferettes. Bred Heifer: a female bovine that is pregnant with her first calf. First-calf Heifer or First-calver: a female bovine that has given birth to her first calf, and is often around 24 to 36 months of age, depending on the breed and when she was first bred.
