Q

amylolytic bacteria(5)

A

amylase
glucoamylase
maltase
isomaltase
pullulanase

20
Q

2 types of amylolytic amylase and their function

A

endo(a bond)-hydrolyzes randomly throughout starch chain to produce oligiosaccharides
exo(b bond)-hydrolyzes end of starch chain to produce maltose, maltotriose and isomaltose)

21
Q

which amylolytic enzymes have the same function as their mammalian enzyme counterpart

A

glucoamylase
maltase
isomaltase

22
Q

function of pullulanase

A

debranching enzyme, hydrolyze 1,6 bonds

23
Q

cellulolytic bacteria(5)

A

glucanase
cellobiohydralase
cellobiosidase
cellobiase
cellodextranse

24
Q

2 types of glucanase and their functions

A

exoglucanase: hydrolyze one glucose from end of cellulose
endoglucanase: attack inside of cellulose chain to produce olyiosaccharides

25
Q

what enzyme are capable of hydrolyzing structural carbohydrates

A

cellulolytic enzymes

26
Q

where are cellulolytic enzymes stored

A

cellulase complex

27
Q

pH of cellulase complex

28
Q

function of cellobiohydrolase and cellobiosidase

A

produce cellobiose from olyiosaccharides

29
Q

function of cellobiase

A

produce 2 glucose from cellobiose

30
Q

cellodextranase

A

cleave glucose from cellulose

31
Q

T/F NCHO is more digestible than SCHO

32
Q

what ruminal product(s)increases when a cow is fed NCHO

33
Q

what ruminal product/characteristic(s)decreases when cow is fed NCHO

A

A:P ratio(A less, P more)
CH4 production
Ruminal pH

34
Q

why is it good for the cow to produce more propionate than acetate

A

propionate is gluconeogenic and a hydrogen sink, it provides more energy for the cow and causes marbling

35
Q

why does ruminal pH decrease when cow is fed NCHO

A

VFA production is increased
cow spends less time ruminating

36
Q

why is it good for ruminal pH to lower with NCHO

A

more energy from VFA

37
Q

why is it bad for ruminal pH to lower with NCHO

A

low pH decreases SCHO carbohydrate digestion since cellulolytic enzymes are sensitive to low pH

38
Q

why does acidosis occur

A

transition to quickly between SCHO and NCHO/overconsumption of NCHO

39
Q

pH of rumen from acidosis

40
Q

what causes NCHO to cause acidosis

A

build-up of lactate

41
Q

acidosis prevention

A

adequate SCHO intake
slow transition from SCHO to NCHO
ionophore(rumensin)

42
Q

how long should you take to transfer from SCHO to NCHO

43
Q

how does ionophore prevent acidosis

A

regulates intake: increase # of meals but decreases size
selects for more favorable fermentation(produces more propionate)

44
Q

T/F horses can consume rumensin
