feeds and feeding exam 2 Flashcards
What is the digestive anatomy of a monogastric?
-mouth, lips, tongue, teeth
- grasping food and masticating (chewing)
- saliva (contains alpha amylase that digests starch)
-esophagus
What are the organs involved with the digestive tract and what are the other associated organs?
involved: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine
associated: liver, gallbladder, pancreas.
What is diff about the esophagus in a ruminant vs. monogastric?
In a monogastric movement is only volterarly in one direction. ruminants are capable of foward and reverse peristalsis.
What is the section of the stomach following the esophagus and what does it do?
- esophageal region- non secreatory. if feed is to small infections can occur. sensitive.
what does the cardiac part of the stomach do?
secretes mucus that keeps the stomach acid in the stomach to protect other organs before and after stomach.
what does the fundic region of the stomach do?
where all “fun happens.” location of stomach acid where hydrolysis digestion occurs and the stomach muscles contract. acid and enzyme secreation.
what does the pyloric region do?
secretes mucus. connects to the dudeonum, the first part of the small intestine. pyloric region has a flap that lets food continue.
where does protein digestion begin in monogastrics? where does starch?
stomach, mouth
What do chief cells make?
produce protein digesting enzyme: pepsinogen which is a zymogen (inactive enzyme)
what to parietal cells make?
HCL. pepsinogen plus HCL makes pepsin (the active form of the protein digestive enzyme.)
What happens in the duodenum and what is it surrounded by?
shortest segment of small intestine, BULK OF DIGESTION OCCURS HERE. pancreatic and gall bladder secretions enter (pancreatic, amylase, pancreatic peptidase, and bile.) liver and pancreas is attached. surrounded by nerves. when food arrives nerves allow liver and pancratic secretions to enter. DO NOT ADSORB NUTRIENTS IN DEUDENUM.
What happens in jejunum and iieum? what happens to lipids?
major site of nutrient adsorbtion. lipids enter the lymphatic system and are released into general circulation after they get proteins added to them.
the liver runs what?
the whole bodies metabolism. all nutrients go through liver which determines where everything needs to go based on metabolic state.
in chickens the duodenum does what?
wraps around pancraus. bile from gallbladder and enzymes are secreated all the way around.
what three things increases the adsorbtive surface of small intestine.
valves, villi, microvilli.
valves increase surface area? villi? microvilli? why do they increase surface area?
3 fold. 30 fold, on valve. 600 fold.
what is the main function of the villi and microvilli?
to increase the area avaliable for nutrient adsorbotion.
every villi in the small intestine has a what? fats travel through what while amino acid and carb travel through what?
blood supply and nutrient transport system. lacteal. capillary network.
the large intestine has the?
cecum and colon.
what happens in the cecum (appendix) ?
fermentation of structural carbs, where fiber digestion occurs. where the small and large intestine meet. slows feed down.
what happens in the colon?
water adsorbition. fermentation of structural carbs, baterial synthesis of vit k and B vitamins. MOSTLY WATER ADSORPTION.
what is true about avian mouth digestion?
NOT a lot of digestion in mouth. do not make a lot of salivia. patability is not an issue.
what is the crop?
part of the end of esophagus. where LIMITED fermination happens. feed is moistined.
what does the proventriculus do?
‘car wash’ sprays acid and enzymes on food. feed moves thorough fast.
porventriculus and gizzard are the chickens what?
true stomach.
what does the ventricules do?
the gizzard has thick walls where acids and enzymes work aka hydrolytic and enzmati digestion occur. feed is slowed down. where griding with grit occurs through contractactions. “teeth of animal” heavily worked.
chickens have two?
ceca. fermentation occurs.
____ and ____ are absent in chickens and why?
prehension and mastication. no teeth or lips.
the large intestine in the chicken?
has a small capicity, water adsorbtion occurs, limited fermentaion. chickens retain less energy than pigs due to shorter digestive tract.
what are the mouth and related structures of cow? why do they produce a lot of salavia
lips are short and pretty immobile (nonselective grazers). produce LOTS of salivia for buffering (maintaining ph) and bloat prevention.
espphagus in sheep is?
s oe sigmoid shaped. has a. funnel on both sides of esophagus.
in ruminant saliva there is?
NO enzyme.
foregut ‘sortgate’ is what precent of adbdomal cavity.
60-80
what happens in the reticulum?
volentary regurgutation and eructation (gas going back up the esphogus to lungs). acid has not been added. can seed food to places.
where can the reticlium send food?
rumen or esophagus- if feed is new or needs more chewing.
omasum- if feed is small enough particle size digestion can continue,.
what happens in rumen?
microbial fermentation. bacteria break down feed that would otherwise be unavaliable to the animal.
what happens in omasum?
water and electrolyte resorption so stomach can maintain neutral ph.
abomasum is the ___ stomach.
gastric.
what four things is true about the reticulum?
- most anterior of foregut segments.
- open to rumen.
- honeycomb structure retains coarse and heavy feed particles.
- enables regurg. and eructatation.
the reticular groove does what and where is it.
- located on right wall of the reticulum.
- forms a tube when closed.
- connects the esophagus with the omasum
- allows milk to bypass the rumen
what is the importance of the straw or tube structure formed by the retucular groove?
when calves are born they do not have a fully functioning rumen, they have to eat dry feed to build rumen. have to feed colstrum to give calf antobodies, colstrum goes straight through tube to bypass rumen so the calf gets all the antibodies.
dry feeed in rumens?
builds bacterial fermentation.
rumen provides an ideal habitat for what symbiotic and anaerobic microorganisms?
-bacteria
-protozoa
-fungi
what is the interior of the rumen covered in?
finger like projections called papillae that increase surface area. Papillie are larger and more numerous in ventral rumen. number and size of papillae are affected by nutritional conditions, therefore more papillae are at the bottom of rumen.
salivia is a __ buffer that?
ph buffer to make neutral ph in the rumen. stomach ph in rumen is 6/7
what is adsorbed in the rumen?
VFA. 1. acetate. 2. propicate. 3. butyrate. protien is not adsorbed.
what is true about the omasum or the stockmans bible”
it is a muscular, spherical organ located posterier to the reticulum and rumen. the interior contains many muscular folds of tissue called laminae. prevents passage of large particles.
what is true about the abomaseum
- true stomach in ruminants.
- similar in structure and function to monogastric stomach.
-only foregut cmpartment with secretaory tissue. - hyrolytic and enzymatic digestion.
what two organs are simular in ruminant and mono.
small and large intestine
the cecum in ruminant?
-larger
-large contribution to fermentative digestion
what are the three end products of ruminant fermentation and what do they do?
- Volatile fatty acid.
- major source of energy for microbes and host
-result of fermentation of carbs and AA - microbial cell protein
- major source of protein for microbes and host
- result of fermentation of carbs, AA, and non- protein N source. - B and K vit.
cecum is ___ gastric what does it produce?
- VFA 2. MCP
protien made in cecum goes out as poop except in horses most energy comes from cecum in horses.
throuhg pregastric ferm. what is true about protein in rumen?
can be used by the host animal.
where does acetate, propionate, and butyrate go?
acetate- fat, muscle, mammory
propionate- glucose, direct energy for host.
butyrate- energy to maintain protien.
Chemotherapeutic agents?
synthetic inorganic or organic compounds that inhibit the growth of pathogenic or parasitic organisms

generally improve rate of gain and feed efficiency. - Arsanilic acid (roxarsone)- poultry and swine
