i. Define Biological Value (BV) of Proteins ii. What are the advantages of this protein evaluation method when compared to Nbalance and chemical score? 5 iii. A bull consumes 7 kg DM of feed containing 60 g N/kg. The bull excretes 120 g N in the faeces and 50 g N in the urine. The feacal and urinary N had 20 g metabolic feacal nitrogen (MFN) and 6 g endogenous urinary nitrogen (EUN) respectively. Calculate the BV of the protein in the diet.
Essential nutrients
These are the organic compounds present in the food that provide nourishment essential for the development and growth of our body. Nutrients not only provide us with the required energy to carry out various biological processes but are also the building blocks for repair and growth in our bodies.
Vitamins
The vitamins are organic molecules required in low concentration for the proper functioning of the body. They cannot be generated in the organism and are taken into the body through the diet. The lack of proper vitamins results in diverse deficiency disorders. They are thus called essential nutrients. The important vitamins are vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, and vitamin E.
