ANS FInal Flashcards
Domestic
to adapt to life in intimate association with and to the advantage of humans
Tame
animal that is relativley tolerant of human presence
Wild
A
living in a natural, undomesticated state
criterion for domestication
- diet
- growth rate
- breed in captivity
- disposition
- less likely to panic
- size
- social hierarchy
flight zone
imaginary space around an animal in which it feels safe
how does field of vision affect certain animals
horse, cattle, pigs, goats, sheep all have >300 degrees of vision
sheep have 190-320 depending on wool
have blind area right in front of face for prey animals
what is point of balance
line at animals shoulder that makes them move
what are the hand tools used for animal management?
sheep hook
sorting pole
rattle paddle
hog slat
hog snare
halter
carnivore diet
> 80-90% animal based diet
chemical digestion
very limited microbial digestion
omnivore diet
meats
highly digestible plant components
chemical digestion
microbial digestion is limited to very limited (species dependent)
herbivore diet
primarily eat forages (low digestible plant components)
microbial digestion is primary
chemical digestion is secondary
4 types of digestive tracts
monogastric, ruminent, non-ruminent, modified monogastric
monogastric digestive tract
mouth –> mastication (mechanical) and saliva (chemical)
esophagus –> transport
stomach –> chemical digestion
small intestine –> proximal (digestion) and distal (absorption)
cecum –> blind pouch
large intestine –> h2O absorption
NRH digestive tract
mouth –> mastication (mechanical) and saliva (chemical)
esophagus –> transport
stomach –> chemical digestion
small intestine –> proximal (digestion) and distal (absorption)
cecum –> microbial digestion
large intestine –> H20 absorption and microbial digestion
modified monogastric digestive tract
esophagus –> transport
crop –> moistening
proventriculus –> chemical digestion
gizzard –> mastication
small intestine –> proximal (digestion) and distal (absorption)
ceca –> two lobes
large intestine –> H20 absorption
cloaca –> defecation
ruminent digestive tract
mouth –> mastication (mechanical) and saliva (chemical)
esophagus –> transport (go both ways)
rumen (fermentation vat/VFA’s absorbed) -> reticulum (strainer) -> omasum (water absorption) -> abomasum (gastric stomach, digests microbes and VFA’s (from feed)
small intestine –> proximal (digestion) and distal (absorption)
cecum –> blind pouch
large intestine –> H20 absorption and microbial digestion
feedstuff classifications
roughages, concentrates, feed additives
definition of a roughage
high in fibre so has low energy, has nitrogen fixation bacteria
types of roughages
protenacous (alfalfa) and carbonacous (grasses)
types of energy concentrates
plant sources and animal sources
protein concentrates from animals (2 examples)
bone or blood meal
protein concentrates from plants (2 examples)
cottonseed or soybean meal
2 types of feed additives
nutrient additives and non-nutrient additives
nutrient additives are
essential for life support
non-nutrient additives ….
alters metabolism
monogastric energy source
simple CHO’s
ruminents and NRH energy source
simple CHO’s are used, but VFA’s are primary energy substrate
where do monogastrics get protien?
from diet
where do ruminents/NRH get protien
diet and digested microbes
male repro tract
testes –> epidydimus –> vas deferens –> accesory glands —> glans penis
testes
sperm and hormone production
male gamete production occurs in
the seminiferous tublule
where are sertoli cells and what do they produce
inside seminiferous tubule –> estrogens
where are the leydig cells and what do they produce
outside the seminifeorus tubule –> testosterone
what is the epidymus responsible for
sperm storage and maturation
vas deferens is for
transport
what are the accessory glands
seminal, prostate, bulbourethral glands
corpus cavernosum
vascular control
tunica albuginea
rigid and fiberous
female repro tract
ovary –> oviduct –> uterus –> cervix –> vagina
functions of the ovary (endocrine and exocrine)
ex. ovum production, end. follicular cells produce estrogen and theca interna produces testosterone, corpus luteum produces progesterone
function of the uterus
nutrition, site of gestation, endocrine functions
functions of the cervix
physical barrier to protect uterus
functions of the vagina
semen depostion
functions of the oviduct
transport, site of fertilization, and embryo nutrition
estrus is
the period of receptivity of the female to be bred by the male
estrus cycle
all physiological events that occur from one ovulation to the next
proestrus
formation of the ovulatory follicles + estrogen secretion
estrus
sexual receptivity + peak estrogen secretion
metestrus
CL formation + beginning of progesterone secretion
diestrus
sustained luteal secretion of progesterone
castration
removal of the testicles
controlled/limited breeding season
limiting the time interval animals are allowed to mate
