NOTE

FUNCTIONS OF PARTS/ORGANS OF FARM ANIMALS

Functions of the digestive system of ruminants

  1. Fermentation: Ruminants have a specialized stomach with four compartments where microbial fermentation occurs, aiding in the breakdown of cellulose and other complex carbohydrates from plant material.
  2. Nutrient Absorption: After fermentation, nutrients such as volatile fatty acids, amino acids, and vitamins are absorbed in the small intestine.
  3. Re-chewing: Ruminants regurgitate and re-chew partially digested food (cud) to further break down plant matter and enhance digestion.
  4. Water Absorption: The large intestine absorbs water from the remaining digesta before excretion.

Functions of the digestive system of non-ruminants

  1. Mechanical Digestion: Breaking down food physically through chewing in the mouth and churning in the stomach.
  2. Chemical Digestion: Enzymes break down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed.
  3. Absorption: Nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, are absorbed in the small intestine.
  4. Bile Production: The liver produces bile, which aids in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
  5. Excretion: Waste products are eliminated from the body through the large intestine and rectum as feces.

EVALUATION: 1. Identify and describe 5 functions of the digestive system in ruminants.

  1. Identify and discuss 5 functions of the digestive system in non-ruminant animals.
