A grain consuming animal unit is a standard unit used to compare actual numbers of livestock and poultry. The standard unit is based on the dry-weight quantity of feed consumed by an average milk cow in the base year. Different rates are used to convert each type of livestock and poultry into the standard unit. 3, record 1, English, - grain%2Dconsuming%20animal%20unit

One of the important aspects determining nutrient requirements is feed intake. If an animal is consuming more total feed per day than normal, the level of nutrients, per unit weight, can be reduced. If the animal is consuming less feed than would normally be the case, then to satisfy the requirements, the nutrient density should be increased. Since the dietary intake is related in many cases to energy content, the nutrient content of the diet will vary depending on energy level. 4, record 2, English, - feed%20intake

La quantité d'aliments ingérés. Ceci a beaucoup d'importance pour déterminer les besoins nutritifs. Si un animal consomme chaque jour plus que sa ration normale, on peut réduire la concentration d'éléments nutritifs par unité de poids de l'aliment. Si l'animal consomme moins que la ration ordinaire, la densité des éléments nutritifs de l'aliment doit être augmentée pour satisfaire ses besoins. Étant donné que l'apport en éléments nutritifs est souvent relié à la valeur énergétique, la teneur en éléments nutritifs d'un régime va varier en même temps que sa valeur énergétique. 4, record 2, French, - prise%20alimentaire

Freezer beef is typically a speciality niche product that has attributes not offered to the public with commodity beef sales, such as verified, traceable, organic, natural or grass fed. It is usually sold direct to the consumer. It may be sold by the cut or as boxed beef, where the cuts from a quarter or side of the animal are sold as a unit. Some producers bundle several cuts together to optimize sales of all cuts. 1, record 3, English, - freezer%20beef
