23
Q

List the structures in a monos steric species

A

Regions are cardia, fundic, body, pyloric

24
Q

Describe anatomy of ilium cecum and large intestine

A

Ilium in small intestine

Cecum first region of large intestine

25
Q

Name two mucosal membrane adaptations and their benefit.

A

Plica, rugue for expansion

Microvilli for secretion and absorption

26
Q

Name two words for the true stomach and what species they are in

A

A

Q

Name two categories of starch

A

RAC simple, complex

29
Q

Describe what happens when unadapted animals are fed large amounts of cereal grains.

A

Bloated. Doesn’t have the right bacteria to digest correctly. Solve by lead feeding. Alfalfa does this forms froth.

Q

What is the substrate for oligosaccharidase. Where is it produced

A

Oligosaccharides. Small intestine brush border Microvilli break down to glucose

What are some errors in growth trials?

A

Variations in feed

Genetic differences

36
Q

How are external indicators used in growth trials?

A

Nitrogen markers

37
Q

Define canula? Benefit?

A

A surgically inserted tube. To test digestion in different areas.

38
Q

What can cause variations in digestibility in the same species?

A

Genetics

39
Q

Three groups of rumen bacteria?
