Q

Whats different about ruminants oesophagus?

A

Different from monogastric esophagus
– Striated muscle along the entire length
* Provides greater strength
* Allows some voluntary control
– Funnel shaped
* Contains three sphincters active in rumination
and eructation

Q

Whats functions of gastric digestion

A

Reservoir for controlled release of digesta to small
intestine
* Horse has small capacity – requires increased number of
smaller sized meals
– Mixing food & mechanical breakdown of feed
– Hydrolytic digestion by acid and enzymes
* Mainly protein
– Kill most bacteria
– Hormone production
