determined by ossification (red) of lumbar and thoracic vetebra, shape and color of ribs and color of lean. with increasing age increased ossification occurs. rib bones become wider and whiter as animal ages. lean color changes from bright red to muddy red.

76
Q

esophagus. mono v ruminant

A

mono: pig esophagus transtition from striated to smooth muscle. horse cant’ throw up

ruminant: ruminant esophagus striated throughout which allows for rumination
