esophagus/gastric stomach/ ruminant stomach Flashcards
parts of ruminant stomach
reticulum, rumen, omasum, abomasum
main amino acid source for ruminants
microbial fauna
difference between fermination and digestion?
fermentation occurs with bugs
digestion is used to reduce food to molecular size or solubility that will allow for absorption
rumensin is used for?
creates shift in ion transfer across cell membranes- takes energy, enhances gram negative bacteria
helps reduce acidosis
how to you manage feeding a ruminant
you take into consideration the change in bugs
what do microbes need ?
nitrogen
microbes become what?
amino acids/ proteins
what is used to release gasses from an animal that has bloat?
trochar
levels of rumen
bottom- grain and yesterdays hay
middle- todays hay
top- gases
reasons for esophageal groove
- Nurse milk- suckling and casein stimulate
- go directly to omasum- abomasum
3.form a clot in 10 min
4.lactose digested quickly
5 casein and fat digest and absorb more slowly 12-18 hrs
what helps form a clot in the stomach of a calf when suckling?
rennin and pepsin
HCl
casein
milk protein
rennin
chymosin
reason for esophageal groove
development of the stomach
within feedstuff is forage and concentrates, what acids are secreted from them?
concentrates- butyric acid and propionic acid
forages- acetic acid
what is Butyrate
energy source for rumen wall growth
what are propionate and acetate for
energy source for calf growth
Rennin
forms a clot, in the calves
Casein
milk protein
What would happen if an animal couldnt produce rennin
?
They would probably die, milk would squirt out of them
Butyrate
energy source for rumen
Propionate and Acetate
energy source for calf growth
Acetate, propionate, butyrate
short chain fatty acids
Acetate comes from
Forages
Butyrate promotes
papillae
Abomasum regress as diet changes to:
forages and concentrates
BY 2024
We will have slower growing chicken, livestock conservancy facility is responsible for genetics in chickens
Placement of stomach tube
make sure it is in stomach and not in the lungs, place it along the black, 3/4 if there is air that means it is in the trachea
