Exam 1 Flashcards
which nutrients are commonly determined by proximate analysis procedures
water, crude protein, ether extract, crude fuber, ash, nitrogen free extract
which 3 nutrients contribute to the energy pool or total digestible nutrients for livestock
energy, fat, carbohydrates
what is the function of water
lubricant, regulates body temp, solvent for solid components, transport medium in body fluids, necessary participant in chemical reactions
what are the parts of the pigs digestive system
mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, cecum, large intestine, anus
what are the gastrointestinal tract of avains
Mouth, crop, esophagus, proventriculus, spleen, gizzard, pancrease, liver, small intestine, ceca, large intestine, cloaca, vent
what are the parts in a ruminant’s digestive tract
mouth, esophagus, rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum, small intestine, large intestine, anus
what are the parts in a baby ruminant’s digestive tract
esophagus, reticular groove, reticulum, omasum, abomasum, duodenum
what are the parts of the digestive system of a horse
esophagus, stomach, small intestine, cecum, large colon, small colon, anus
what are the accessory organs in animals
salivary glands- secretion of saliva;
gall bladder - storage of bile;
pancreas- secretes pancreatic juice, enzymes, buffers;
liver - production of bile;
true or false: lignin is a carbohydrate that is part of the cell well carbohydrates
false
bile is produced in the _______ and stored in the ________ for most animal species
liver, gallbladder
in monogastrics (swine), _____ is the organ (part of small intestine) where most digestion takes place whereas __________ is the organ where most absorption takes place.
duodenum, jejunum
how do you find % water
forage sample weight - the DM = amount water -> amount water/ weight of sample x 100 = % water
how do you calc % DM
DM / sample X 100 = % DM
do you calc % organic matter
OM = DM - Ash -> DM - ash = OM -> OM/ sample x 100 = % organic matter
how do you find CP content if N is ___
N x 6.25
what are the products of microbial fermentation that are beneficial to the host animal
volatile fatty acids (acetate, propionate, butyrate), vitamin B and K, microbial proteins, heat
name 2 greenhouse gases produced through rumen fermentation
methane, CO2
how are gases produced through rumen microbial fermentation are removed from the rumen
eructation (belching),
between the sheep and horse, who has a more efficeint microbial fermenetation process
sheep - sheep rumen makes protein so it doesnt need to find it, horse - slow fermentation and takes a lot of space in digestive tract, and cant reuse nitrogen
what organs are unique to the avain and swine
swine - stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas avian - crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, ceca, cloaca, vent
what does saliva do in the digestion process
breaks down the food and lubricates for food to go down
what does hydrochloric acid do in the digestion process
denautres protein and activates pepesin from pepsinogen, provides acidic pH and kills bacteria
what does bile do in digestion process
helps digestion and absorption of fats, neutralizes chyme from stomach
