Q

Valve after SI

A

51
Q

Cecum

A

Blind pouch between the small and large intestines

52
Q

Purpose of cecum

A

Bacteria will ferment fiber

And this is the only way dietary fiber will get digested

53
Q

What kind of diet requires a cecum

A

Herbivore or omnivore

54
Q

What happens in the large intestine

A

Water absorption

55
Q

Rectum

A

Waste material storage

56
Q

Anus

A

Exit sphincter

57
Q

Limits of the gastrointestinal tract

A

Digestion depends on animal having good teeth
Absorption requires healthy lining
Some things can’t be digested
Other compounds can only partially be digested

58
Q

Examples of hindgut fermenters

A

Rabbit

Horse

59
Q

Hindgut refers to

A

Cecum and large intestine

60
Q

Difference in hindgut and monogastric

A

Cecum is greatly enlarged in hindgut

61
Q

Ruminant vs monogastrics

A

Everything the same except an enlarged stomach

62
Q

How many compartments in a ruminant GI tract

A

4

63
Q

Rumination

A

Material passes back up to the esophagus to be chewed again

64
Q

What occurs in omasum

A

Water absorption

65
Q

Compartments in ruminant stomach

A

Omasum
Abomasum
Rumen
Reticulum

66
Q

True stomach in ruminants

A

Abomasum

67
Q

Where does fermentation occur in ruminant animals?

A

Reticulorumen and cecum

68
Q

Where does fermentation occur in hindgut

A

Only in cecum beaches they don’t have a rumen

69
Q

What goes on during fermentation?

A

Anaerobic microbes digest

70
Q

What can digest fiber

A

Microbial enzymes in GI tract

71
Q

By product of fermentation

A

Volatile fatty acids

72
Q

Where do VFA’s go?

A

Into the bloodstream

73
Q

Main source of energy for ruminants

A

VFA’s

74
Q

What does the bacteria make

A

Protein while reproducing

75
Q

What happens to bacteria that gets washed out of the rumen

A

Digested gets digested in the small intestine

76
Q

What happens to bacteria that gets washed out of the cecum

A

It comes out in feces because no digestion occurs in the large intestine

77
Q

Difference in diet between ruminant and hindgut diet

A

No starches for ruminant animals because it gets fermented in the rumen before it can make it to the small intestine

78
Q

Why do ruminant receive more energy from hay or gray

A

The cecum allows for a second chance at digestion

79
