![Page 3: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Digestive Systems Digestion is a process
that breaks feed down into simple substances that can be absorbed by the body.
This usually involves mechanical, chemical and enzymes.
The compounds are then absorbed into the blood stream.
![Page 4: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Digestive tract Also known as the gastrointestinal
tract or the alimentary tract. Begins at the mouth and ends at the
anus.
![Page 5: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Three kinds of digestive systems. Non-ruminant (monogastric). Ruminant (polygastric). Avian
![Page 6: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Non-ruminant digestive systems. Swine, horses & humans. Single compartment stomach. Includes, mouth, teeth, tongue,
salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, pancreas, cecum, large intestine, rectum and anus.
![Page 7: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Parts of Swine Digestive Tract Parts of the
swine digestive system.
Know location and function of each part.
![Page 8: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Parts of Horse Digestive System Know the location
and function of each part.
Pay particular attention to the highly adapted cecum.
![Page 9: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mouth, part of digestive system. The mouth contains the teeth, tongue,
and salivary glands. Chewing action (mechanical part of
digestion). Food is cut and torn in the mouth, then
mixed with saliva, which is produced in three different places.
Three paired sets of salivary glands, located under the lower jaw and under the ears.
![Page 10: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mouth Saliva contains water, mucin,
bicarbonate salts and enzymes. Horse saliva does not contain
enzymes. In swine, saliva contains the
enzymes salivary amylase and salivary maltase.
![Page 11: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Enzymes Enzymes work in the whole digestive
process, form mouth to anus. Enzymes are organic catalysts that cause
and/or speed up digestive action. However, enzymes remain unchanged in
this process. A weak acid solution will halt enzyme
action.
![Page 12: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Digestion in the Mouth Saliva stimulates the taste nerves. Water moistens the feed for chewing
and swallowing. Mucin lubricates the feed for
swallowing. Bicarbonate salts buffer the pH in
the stomach.
![Page 13: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Tongue The tongue gathers feed in the
mouth. Directs the feed in the throat for
swallowing. Mixes feed.
![Page 14: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Esophagus A tube like passage which leads from
the mouth to the stomach. Peristaltic waves send feed down the
esophagus, (muscle contractions). The cardia, located at the end of the
esophagus prevents feed in the stomach from coming back into the esophagus. ( non-ruminants)
![Page 15: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Stomach Pear shaped, muscular organ, receives
feed, where it is further broken down by muscle in the stomach wall.
Gastric juices, secreted by the glands in the stomach wall, start to flow the moment masticated feed enter the stomach.
Gastric juices have about 0.2 to 0.5 percent HCl.
![Page 16: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Stomach The wall of the stomach is lined with
muscle, this muscle churns and squeezes the feed.
This action forces the liquid portion on into the small intestine.
The stomach of the horse has less muscular activity than that of other species, causing an increased tendency toward digestive disorders.
![Page 17: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Horse Stomach The stomach of a horse is smaller,
compared to other species, in relation to the size of the animal.
Therefore, it is more desirable to feed horses in smaller amounts at one time but provide more frequent feedings.
![Page 18: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Small Intestine Duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. This is where secretions from the pancreas,
liver and intestinal walls occur. Active digestion takes place here. Bile, secreted in the liver is stored in the
gallbladder where it is secreted into the duodenum.
Horses do not have a gallbladder, therefore, bile is secreted continuously from the liver to the duodenum.
![Page 19: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Small Intestine The middle part of the Small
Intestine is called the Jejunum. The last part of the small intestine is
called the ileum. Nutrient absorption occurs in these
two section of the small intestine.
![Page 20: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Small Intestine Chyme is partially digested feed in the
stomach. Chyme is an acid, semi fluid, gray, pulpy
mass. Pancreatic juice is secreted by the
pancreas, a small gland located between the folds of the small intestine.
Pancreatic juice contains enzymes.
![Page 21: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Small Intestine, Proteins Proteins are further broken down into
polypeptides oligopeptides, dipeptides and amino acids, eventually broken down into simple amino acids.
Starch is changed to maltose. Fats in the feed are broken down into
fatty acids glycerol and monoglycerides. Bile helps emulsify fats.
![Page 22: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Large Intestine in Swine The small intestine does the majority
of absorption. Cecum in swine has little or no
function. The cecum is the first part of the
large intestine. The colon is the middle and largest
part of the large intestine.
![Page 23: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Large Intestine, Horses Cecum is an important organ in horses. The large intestine makes up approximately
60% of the total digestive tract. Divided into cecum, large colon, small colon
and rectum. Horses can use large amounts of roughage
because of the presence of bacteria in the cecum and colon.
These bacteria digest hemicelluloses and cellulose and ferment carbohydrates.
![Page 24: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Large Intestine, Horses IMPORTANT- because the large
intestine of the horse usually contains substantial quantities of ingested material, impaction occurs easily.
This impaction is the start of what horse ailment?
![Page 25: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Large Intestine In all species, undigested, unabsorbed and
indigestible material passes from the small intestine to the large.
The main function of the L intestine is to absorb water from the material passing through.
In the Horse, the small colon is the site of most of the water resorption.
Feces, material that is not absorbed or digested. Anus, the external opening at the end of the
digestive tract.
![Page 26: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ruminant Digestive SystemMouth Saliva of ruminants does not contain
enzymes to help digest the starches. It contains buffers which neutralize the
fatty acid produced in the rumen. The rumen contents are maintained at
approximately a pH of 6-6.5. This pH level promotes microbial growth in
the rumen. Mature cows produce about 12 gallons of
saliva per day while sheep produce 2 gal.
![Page 27: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Ruminant Digestion Stomach. The stomach of the ruminant contains four
compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum and the abomasum.
The rumen or paunch is the first. The reticulum or honey comb is second. There is not a clear partition between these
two compartments. The cardia, (lower part of the esophagus is
common to both compartments. No enzymes are secreted in these tow parts.
![Page 28: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Ruminant Digestion Stomach The third compartment is the omasum or
many plies. It constitutes 8% of the stomach. The omasum contains strong muscles in
the walls. The fourth and last part of the ruminant
stomach is the abomasum or true stomach. The Abomasum makes up 7% of the
stomach.
![Page 29: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Ruminant Digestion Ruminants eat rapidly swallowing
much of their feed without chewing. Solid feed goes to the rumen. The liquid part also goes into the
rumen. But passes quickly to the reticulum, then through the omasum and on into the abomasum.
![Page 30: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Esophageal Groove These two muscular folds for a passage way
from the cardia, ( the end of the esophagus), to the omasum.
When closed this passage way directs feed from the esophagus directly to the omasum and when it is open the material goes into the rumen and the reticulum.
Its major function appears to be to allow milk ingest by a nursing animal to bypass fermentation in the rumen. Serves no purpose in adult ruminants.
![Page 31: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bovine Digestive system Identify
location and function of each of the parts of the Bovine digestive system.
![Page 32: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Rumination After the ruminant animal has filled the
rumen with feed it lies down to ruminate, (chew its cud).
Cattle spend from 5-7 hours ruminating, broken up into 6-8 rumination periods.
Regurgitation is the process of forcing the feed back into the mouth for chewing.
This is done through series of muscular contractions and pressure in the rumen and reticulum.
![Page 33: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Rumination The animal breathes in with a closed glottis. This causes a drop in pressure in the thorax
and esophagus. The pressure in the rumen is now greater,
forcing the cud into the esophagus where it is carried to the mouth, with muscular contractions.
More saliva is then mixed with the feed and it passes into the reticulum, if sufficient chewing has been done.
![Page 34: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Rumen Microorganisms Rumen and reticulum contain millions of
microorganisms called bacteria and protozoa.
Together, these tiny organisms feed on the fibrous material in the rumen.
They digest cellulose and compiles starch, synthesize protein and synthesize vitamins.
![Page 35: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Microorganisms The three types of rumen bacteria are
streptococci, lactobacilli and celluloytic bacteria.
50-65% of the starch is digested in the rumen.
Protein in the rumen is converted to ammonia, organic acids and amino acids.
Most amino acids synthesized by the rumen, therefore, it is not necessary to supply large quantities of amino acids in the ration.
![Page 36: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Functions of the Rumen There is continual flow of feed materials
into and out of the rumen. It acts like a large fermentation vat and
account for about 50-85% of the total utilization of the digestible dry matter in the ration.
Saliva which is mixed with feed helps control the pH of the rumen.
A shift of microorganisms can result from the types of feed fed.
![Page 37: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Function of the Rumen Feed material stays in the rumen and
reticulum area from about two hours to several days.
The kind of feed influences time. Concentrates pass quicker than roughages.
Papillae line the interior wall of the rumen, they increase surface area therefore increasing the absorption ability of the rumen wall.
![Page 38: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Function of the Rumen Bacterial action in the rumen produces
large quantities (30-50 quarts per hour) of gas, mainly CO2 and CH4.
This gas must be removed or the animal will bloat.
The gas is released through eructation, (belching).
Small amounts are absorbed by the bloodstream and then eliminated through the lungs.
![Page 39: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Function of the Reticulum Contains the same bacteria and protozoa
as the rumen. Lined with intersecting ridges that form
honeycomblike projections. Hardware that is ingest are trapped in this
area and generally do not move further through the digestive system.
Feed is moved back and forth between the rumen and reticulum by regular contractions originating in the reticulum.
![Page 40: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Function of the Omasum The omasum grinds and squeezes
the feed. Little or no digestive action. The material leaving the omasum is
60-70 percent drier than the material entering it.
![Page 41: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Function of the Abomasum Digestion here is much the same as it is in
a monogastric animal. Digestive juices are added to the feed and
it is moistened. There is little or no digestion of fat,
cellulose or starch. pH level of 3.5-4.0. The feed becomes highly fluid as it passes
into the small intestine.
![Page 42: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Avian Digestive Systems Different from nonruminant and ruminant. Feed in proventriculus are secreted by the
glandular stomach and mixed with feed. The feed next moves to the gizzard.
Epithelium breaks the feed into smaller particles, further mixing of proventricular digestive juices with the feed in the gizzard.The end of the digestive system is the vent.
![Page 43: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Absorption of Nutrients Absorption is the process of taking
nutrients from the digested feed into the blood and lymph systems.
In nonruminants most absorption takes place from the small intestine with a lesser amount being absorbed from the large intestine.
In ruminants there is some absorption of nutrients through the wall of the rumen.
![Page 44: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Absorption of Nutrients Villi are small cone-shaped projection on
the wall of the small intestine. Each villi contains a network of blood capillaries through which nutrients enter the blood stream.
Protein is converted to amino acids. Starches and sugars are converted to
glucose, fructose and galactose. Crude fiber is converted to short chained
fatty acids or glucose by digestion. These nutrients pass into the blood
capillaries by osmosis through the semi permeable membranes.
![Page 45: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Absorption of Nutrients The two methods of absorption are
diffusion and active transport. Diffusion is the movement of molecules
from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration.
Active transport is the movement of molecules from one area to another requiring the expenditure of energy.
Amino acids and glucose move by active transport.
![Page 46: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Metabolism Metabolism is the sum of the chemical
and physical changes continually occurring in living organisms and cells utilizing nutrients.
Anabolism is the formation and repair of body tissues.
Catabolism is the breakdown of body tissue into simpler substances.
![Page 47: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Nutrient Transport Nutrients in the water soluble form, are
primarily carried by the blood in the animals body from where they are absorbed to where they are utilized.
Nutrients are used for maintenance, oxidation provides hear for body temperature and movement.
Nutrients are also used fro growth and fattening, fetal development, production of milk and eggs, wool and mohair and work.
![Page 48: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Summary Digestion is breaking feed down into
simple substances that can be absorbed by the body.
Digestion occurs when feeds are broken up mechanically and acted upon by enzymes and other digestive juices.
Most absorption of nutrients after digestion takes place in the small intestine, although some absorption occurs in the rumen.

Review Answers 1- Digestion: mechanical, chemical,
and enzymic actions that break feed down into simple substances that can be absorbed by the body. Digestive system: the passage through the body that begins at the mouth and ends with the anus through which feed passes as it is digested.
![Page 56: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Review Answers 2- Non ruminant: Swine and horses. Ruminant: Cattle, sheep and goats. Avian: Poultry. 3- Mouth: Teeth tongue and salivary
glands. Chewing action mechanical digestion. Esophagus, passageway to the stomach. Small Intestine, the duodenum, jejunum and ileum, the site of most of the absorption. Gallbladder and liver production of bile, storage of wastes. Villi, moves food through the stomach, aids in absorption. Cecum, non-functional in swine, aids in roughage digestion in horses.

Review Answers 10- Rumen and Reticulum: Fat to form
fatty acids and glycerol; glycerol to form propionic acid; site of microorganisms that act on protein/nonprotein nitrogen to form essential amino acids; starch/sucrose/cellulose. Omasum: Grinds and squeezes feed, removes some liquid; little digestive action in the omasum. Abomasum: true stomach, acts on proteins; stops action of salivary amylase; contains HCl.

Review Answers 15- Most absorption is done by
diffusion and active transport. Most in the non-ruminant stomach is done in the small intestine, in ruminant animals they use the small intestine and to a small degree through the rumen.

![Page 65: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Digestive Systems Digestion is a process
that breaks feed down into simple substances that can be absorbed by the body.
This usually involves mechanical, chemical and enzymes.
The compounds are then absorbed into the blood stream.
![Page 66: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Digestive tract Also known as the gastrointestinal
tract or the alimentary tract. Begins at the mouth and ends at the
anus.
![Page 67: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Three kinds of digestive systems. Non-ruminant (monogastric). Ruminant (polygastric). Avian
![Page 68: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Non-ruminant digestive systems. Swine, horses & humans. Single compartment stomach. Includes, mouth, teeth, tongue,
salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, pancreas, cecum, large intestine, rectum and anus.
![Page 69: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Parts of Swine Digestive Tract Parts of the
swine digestive system.
Know location and function of each part.
![Page 70: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Parts of Horse Digestive System Know the location
and function of each part.
Pay particular attention to the highly adapted cecum.
![Page 71: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Mouth, part of digestive system. The mouth contains the teeth, tongue,
and salivary glands. Chewing action (mechanical part of
digestion). Food is cut and torn in the mouth, then
mixed with saliva, which is produced in three different places.
Three paired sets of salivary glands, located under the lower jaw and under the ears.
![Page 72: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Mouth Saliva contains water, mucin,
bicarbonate salts and enzymes. Horse saliva does not contain
enzymes. In swine, saliva contains the
enzymes salivary amylase and salivary maltase.
![Page 73: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Enzymes Enzymes work in the whole digestive
process, form mouth to anus. Enzymes are organic catalysts that cause
and/or speed up digestive action. However, enzymes remain unchanged in
this process. A weak acid solution will halt enzyme
action.
![Page 74: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Digestion in the Mouth Saliva stimulates the taste nerves. Water moistens the feed for chewing
and swallowing. Mucin lubricates the feed for
swallowing. Bicarbonate salts buffer the pH in
the stomach.
![Page 75: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
The Tongue The tongue gathers feed in the
mouth. Directs the feed in the throat for
swallowing. Mixes feed.
![Page 76: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Esophagus A tube like passage which leads from
the mouth to the stomach. Peristaltic waves send feed down the
esophagus, (muscle contractions). The cardia, located at the end of the
esophagus prevents feed in the stomach from coming back into the esophagus. ( non-ruminants)
![Page 77: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Stomach Pear shaped, muscular organ, receives
feed, where it is further broken down by muscle in the stomach wall.
Gastric juices, secreted by the glands in the stomach wall, start to flow the moment masticated feed enter the stomach.
Gastric juices have about 0.2 to 0.5 percent HCl.
![Page 78: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Stomach The wall of the stomach is lined with
muscle, this muscle churns and squeezes the feed.
This action forces the liquid portion on into the small intestine.
The stomach of the horse has less muscular activity than that of other species, causing an increased tendency toward digestive disorders.
![Page 79: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Horse Stomach The stomach of a horse is smaller,
compared to other species, in relation to the size of the animal.
Therefore, it is more desirable to feed horses in smaller amounts at one time but provide more frequent feedings.
![Page 80: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Small Intestine Duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. This is where secretions from the pancreas,
liver and intestinal walls occur. Active digestion takes place here. Bile, secreted in the liver is stored in the
gallbladder where it is secreted into the duodenum.
Horses do not have a gallbladder, therefore, bile is secreted continuously from the liver to the duodenum.
![Page 81: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Small Intestine The middle part of the Small
Intestine is called the Jejunum. The last part of the small intestine is
called the ileum. Nutrient absorption occurs in these
two section of the small intestine.
![Page 82: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Small Intestine Chyme is partially digested feed in the
stomach. Chyme is an acid, semi fluid, gray, pulpy
mass. Pancreatic juice is secreted by the
pancreas, a small gland located between the folds of the small intestine.
Pancreatic juice contains enzymes.
![Page 83: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Small Intestine, Proteins Proteins are further broken down into
polypeptides oligopeptides, dipeptides and amino acids, eventually broken down into simple amino acids.
Starch is changed to maltose. Fats in the feed are broken down into
fatty acids glycerol and monoglycerides. Bile helps emulsify fats.
![Page 84: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Large Intestine in Swine The small intestine does the majority
of absorption. Cecum in swine has little or no
function. The cecum is the first part of the
large intestine. The colon is the middle and largest
part of the large intestine.
![Page 85: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Large Intestine, Horses Cecum is an important organ in horses. The large intestine makes up approximately
60% of the total digestive tract. Divided into cecum, large colon, small colon
and rectum. Horses can use large amounts of roughage
because of the presence of bacteria in the cecum and colon.
These bacteria digest hemicelluloses and cellulose and ferment carbohydrates.
![Page 86: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Large Intestine, Horses IMPORTANT- because the large
intestine of the horse usually contains substantial quantities of ingested material, impaction occurs easily.
This impaction is the start of what horse ailment?
![Page 87: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Large Intestine In all species, undigested, unabsorbed and
indigestible material passes from the small intestine to the large.
The main function of the L intestine is to absorb water from the material passing through.
In the Horse, the small colon is the site of most of the water resorption.
Feces, material that is not absorbed or digested. Anus, the external opening at the end of the
digestive tract.
![Page 88: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Ruminant Digestive SystemMouth Saliva of ruminants does not contain
enzymes to help digest the starches. It contains buffers which neutralize the
fatty acid produced in the rumen. The rumen contents are maintained at
approximately a pH of 6-6.5. This pH level promotes microbial growth in
the rumen. Mature cows produce about 12 gallons of
saliva per day while sheep produce 2 gal.
![Page 89: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Ruminant Digestion Stomach. The stomach of the ruminant contains four
compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum and the abomasum.
The rumen or paunch is the first. The reticulum or honey comb is second. There is not a clear partition between these
two compartments. The cardia, (lower part of the esophagus is
common to both compartments. No enzymes are secreted in these tow parts.
![Page 90: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Ruminant Digestion Stomach The third compartment is the omasum or
many plies. It constitutes 8% of the stomach. The omasum contains strong muscles in
the walls. The fourth and last part of the ruminant
stomach is the abomasum or true stomach. The Abomasum makes up 7% of the
stomach.
![Page 91: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Ruminant Digestion Ruminants eat rapidly swallowing
much of their feed without chewing. Solid feed goes to the rumen. The liquid part also goes into the
rumen. But passes quickly to the reticulum, then through the omasum and on into the abomasum.
![Page 92: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Esophageal Groove These two muscular folds for a passage way
from the cardia, ( the end of the esophagus), to the omasum.
When closed this passage way directs feed from the esophagus directly to the omasum and when it is open the material goes into the rumen and the reticulum.
Its major function appears to be to allow milk ingest by a nursing animal to bypass fermentation in the rumen. Serves no purpose in adult ruminants.
![Page 93: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Bovine Digestive system Identify
location and function of each of the parts of the Bovine digestive system.
![Page 94: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Rumination After the ruminant animal has filled the
rumen with feed it lies down to ruminate, (chew its cud).
Cattle spend from 5-7 hours ruminating, broken up into 6-8 rumination periods.
Regurgitation is the process of forcing the feed back into the mouth for chewing.
This is done through series of muscular contractions and pressure in the rumen and reticulum.
![Page 95: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Rumination The animal breathes in with a closed glottis. This causes a drop in pressure in the thorax
and esophagus. The pressure in the rumen is now greater,
forcing the cud into the esophagus where it is carried to the mouth, with muscular contractions.
More saliva is then mixed with the feed and it passes into the reticulum, if sufficient chewing has been done.
![Page 96: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Rumen Microorganisms Rumen and reticulum contain millions of
microorganisms called bacteria and protozoa.
Together, these tiny organisms feed on the fibrous material in the rumen.
They digest cellulose and compiles starch, synthesize protein and synthesize vitamins.
![Page 97: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Microorganisms The three types of rumen bacteria are
streptococci, lactobacilli and celluloytic bacteria.
50-65% of the starch is digested in the rumen.
Protein in the rumen is converted to ammonia, organic acids and amino acids.
Most amino acids synthesized by the rumen, therefore, it is not necessary to supply large quantities of amino acids in the ration.
![Page 98: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Functions of the Rumen There is continual flow of feed materials
into and out of the rumen. It acts like a large fermentation vat and
account for about 50-85% of the total utilization of the digestible dry matter in the ration.
Saliva which is mixed with feed helps control the pH of the rumen.
A shift of microorganisms can result from the types of feed fed.
![Page 99: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Function of the Rumen Feed material stays in the rumen and
reticulum area from about two hours to several days.
The kind of feed influences time. Concentrates pass quicker than roughages.
Papillae line the interior wall of the rumen, they increase surface area therefore increasing the absorption ability of the rumen wall.
![Page 100: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Function of the Rumen Bacterial action in the rumen produces
large quantities (30-50 quarts per hour) of gas, mainly CO2 and CH4.
This gas must be removed or the animal will bloat.
The gas is released through eructation, (belching).
Small amounts are absorbed by the bloodstream and then eliminated through the lungs.
![Page 101: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Function of the Reticulum Contains the same bacteria and protozoa
as the rumen. Lined with intersecting ridges that form
honeycomblike projections. Hardware that is ingest are trapped in this
area and generally do not move further through the digestive system.
Feed is moved back and forth between the rumen and reticulum by regular contractions originating in the reticulum.
![Page 102: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Function of the Omasum The omasum grinds and squeezes
the feed. Little or no digestive action. The material leaving the omasum is
60-70 percent drier than the material entering it.
![Page 103: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Function of the Abomasum Digestion here is much the same as it is in
a monogastric animal. Digestive juices are added to the feed and
it is moistened. There is little or no digestion of fat,
cellulose or starch. pH level of 3.5-4.0. The feed becomes highly fluid as it passes
into the small intestine.
![Page 104: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Avian Digestive Systems Different from nonruminant and ruminant. Feed in proventriculus are secreted by the
glandular stomach and mixed with feed. The feed next moves to the gizzard.
Epithelium breaks the feed into smaller particles, further mixing of proventricular digestive juices with the feed in the gizzard.The end of the digestive system is the vent.
![Page 105: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Absorption of Nutrients Absorption is the process of taking
nutrients from the digested feed into the blood and lymph systems.
In nonruminants most absorption takes place from the small intestine with a lesser amount being absorbed from the large intestine.
In ruminants there is some absorption of nutrients through the wall of the rumen.
![Page 106: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Absorption of Nutrients Villi are small cone-shaped projection on
the wall of the small intestine. Each villi contains a network of blood capillaries through which nutrients enter the blood stream.
Protein is converted to amino acids. Starches and sugars are converted to
glucose, fructose and galactose. Crude fiber is converted to short chained
fatty acids or glucose by digestion. These nutrients pass into the blood
capillaries by osmosis through the semi permeable membranes.
![Page 107: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Absorption of Nutrients The two methods of absorption are
diffusion and active transport. Diffusion is the movement of molecules
from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration.
Active transport is the movement of molecules from one area to another requiring the expenditure of energy.
Amino acids and glucose move by active transport.
![Page 108: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Metabolism Metabolism is the sum of the chemical
and physical changes continually occurring in living organisms and cells utilizing nutrients.
Anabolism is the formation and repair of body tissues.
Catabolism is the breakdown of body tissue into simpler substances.
![Page 109: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Nutrient Transport Nutrients in the water soluble form, are
primarily carried by the blood in the animals body from where they are absorbed to where they are utilized.
Nutrients are used for maintenance, oxidation provides hear for body temperature and movement.
Nutrients are also used fro growth and fattening, fetal development, production of milk and eggs, wool and mohair and work.
![Page 110: Dm ch. 2 digestive sys a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5880032e1a28ab421b8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Summary Digestion is breaking feed down into
simple substances that can be absorbed by the body.
Digestion occurs when feeds are broken up mechanically and acted upon by enzymes and other digestive juices.
Most absorption of nutrients after digestion takes place in the small intestine, although some absorption occurs in the rumen.

Review Answers 1- Digestion: mechanical, chemical,
and enzymic actions that break feed down into simple substances that can be absorbed by the body. Digestive system: the passage through the body that begins at the mouth and ends with the anus through which feed passes as it is digested.

Review Answers 2- Non ruminant: Swine and horses. Ruminant: Cattle, sheep and goats. Avian: Poultry. 3- Mouth: Teeth tongue and salivary
glands. Chewing action mechanical digestion. Esophagus, passageway to the stomach. Small Intestine, the duodenum, jejunum and ileum, the site of most of the absorption. Gallbladder and liver production of bile, storage of wastes. Villi, moves food through the stomach, aids in absorption. Cecum, non-functional in swine, aids in roughage digestion in horses. Colon, with the help of bacteria breaks down roughages. Rectum????

Review Answers 10- Rumen and Reticulum: Fat to form
fatty acids and glycerol; glycerol to form propionic acid; site of microorganisms that act on protein/nonprotein nitrogen to form essential amino acids; starch/sucrose/cellulose. Omasum: Grinds and squeezes feed, removes some liquid; little digestive action in the omasum. Abomasum: true stomach, acts on proteins; stops action of salivary amylase; contains HCl.

Review Answers 15- Most absorption is done by
diffusion and active transport. Most in the non-ruminant stomach is done in the small intestine, in ruminant animals they use the small intestine and to a small degree through the rumen.
