50
Q

Sheep Mouth

A

. Ruminants do not secrete salivary amylase.
Ruminants do not have canines, nor do they have any upper incisors.
Transverse motion of jar and well developed molars allow them to chew and grind

51
Q

Sheep esophagus

A

The esophagus is the tube through which feed passes to stomach. The esophagus enters the stomach at the junction of the rumen and reticulum. Feed may enter either compartment.

52
Q

Sheep Abomasum

A

Secretes digestive enxymes HCL and Pepsin. Pepsin breaks down microbial protein and rumen undegradable protein

53
Q

Sheep Omasum

A

Water is absorbed in the omasum

54
Q

Sheep Reticulunm

A

he reticulum also participates in the fermentation. In addition, it directs the flow of digesta. A bolus from the rumen will move to the reticulum and be transferred up the esophagus to the mouth in the process of rumination.

55
Q

Sheep Rumen

A

Fermentation in the rumen takes place before the glandular (acid secreting) portion of the stomach and is called pregastric fermentation.

56
Q

Sheep small intestine

A

t has 3 sections, which are in order from the stomach to the large intestine, the duodenum, jejunum and ileum

Nutrients are absorbed into the epithelial cells that line each villus of the small intestine.

57
Q

Large Intestine Sheep

A

ncludes the cecum, colon, and rectum. It is shorter in length but larger in diameter than the small intestine
-Not sacculated
-Water and electrolytes are absorbed from the colon. Feces are stored in the rectum.

58
Q

Sheep accesory structures

A

mesentary,omentum and the pancreas.

59
Q

Sheep pancreas

A

the pancreas is located near the duodenum. Pancreatic secretions have an important role in digestion in the small intestine. The pancreatic duct carries secretions from the pancreas to the duodenum.

60
Q

Pig mouth

A

. The mouth is involved in acquisition and initial physical as well as some enzymatic breakdown of feed. Teeth include incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. Pigs mainly use premolars and molars for chewing feed. Saliva will be added while chewing feed.

61
Q

Pig esophagus

A

feed is moved from the mouth to the stomach through the esophagus.
The esophagus has a structure like a tube.
It propels the feed from the mouth to the stomach by a coordinated muscular movement called peristalsis.

62
Q

Pig stomach

A

there are three major regions called cardiac, fundic, and pyloric regions in the stomach that are glandular with secretions. These three regions secrete mucins to protect the stomach lining from HCl.

63
Q

Pig small intestine

A

Most digestion and nutrient absorption occur in the small intestine and the remaining digesta moves to the large intestine.
Jejunum is where most digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs

64
Q

Pig Large Intestine

A

The large intestine receives feed residue, digestive secretions, and epithelial cells from the small intestine which can be fermented by microorganisms in cecum and colon. Microbial fermentation produces volatile fatty acids, ammonia, and vitamin K which can be absorbed in the cecum and colon.

65
Q

Chicken mouth

A

includes beak, lips, and tongue. Chickens do not have any teeth and use their beak to pick up feed and reduce the particle size of feeds. The mouth also does some enzymatic breakdown of feed.

66
Q

Esophagus and Crop in chicken

A

he esophagus has a structure like a tube. The crop is an enlarged area in the esophagus where feed is moistened and stored for a short period of time

67
Q

Chicken Proventricus and Ventriculus

A

roventriculus is similar to the fundic region of the mammalian stomach and secretes mucins, HCl, and pepsinogen. The proventriculus is followed by the ventriculus (also called the gizzard) which is the muscular portion of the stomach.

68
Q

Small Intestine Chickens

A

Meckel’s diverticulum which is a slight bulge in the middle of the small intestine. The Meckel’s diverticulum is a residual small sac which is originally formed during the embryonic stage in the egg connecting the embryo to the yolk sac.

69
Q

Chicken Large Intestine

A

The large intestine of chickens includes the ceca (two paired ceca), the colon, and the cloaca. The ceca are blind-ended pouches where bacterial fermentation occurs but these have little function in domestic birds as digesta cannot easily enter the ceca.

70
Q

How to take a hay sample

A

choose the Right Time: Ideally, sample hay when it is dry and free of moisture, as this can affect the results.
Select the Hay Bales: Choose bales that are representative of the entire lot. Aim to sample different bales, especially if they come from various fields or cutting times.
Using a Hay Probe: Insert the probe into the bale at various locations (top, middle, bottom) to get a core sample. Aim for 15-20 samples from different bales.
Combine Samples: Mix the individual samples in a clean container to create a composite sample that represents the entire lo

71
Q

Items of interest for a forage analysis
