Animal Digestion
and Nutrition
Competency: Analyze the parts and
functions of the digestive system of
farm animals
Ruminants
 Objective: Describe the function and major
parts of the digestive system of ruminants.
Ruminant Animals
 Animals with complex digestive
systems
 Capable of digesting material with a
high fiber concentration
 Uses microbial fermentation
– Cattle
– Sheep
– Goats
– Deer
Ruminants
Ruminant Digestive System
Parts and Functions
 Mouth
– Bites and chews
 Esophagus
– Connection
 Four Compartment Stomach
– Rumen
– Reticulum
– Omasum
– Abomasum
85% of the
capacity
Parts and Functions
 Ruman
– Largest of the four parts “room-in-it”
– Filled with bacteria
– Converts large amounts of roughage to
amino acids
Fact!!!!
 The average cow rumen can hold over 160
liters (40 gallons)
Ruman
Ruman Microbe
Ruman Microbe
 The large microbe is a type of protist
 The creature that looks like a tadpole
attached to the side of the protist is a
fungal spore
 The smaller, rod-shaped organism
lining the underside of the protist are
bacteria.
Parts and Functions
 Reticulum
– Compartment where liquid goes
– Honeycomb in structure
 Omasum
– Grinds and squeezes
– Removes some liquid
 Abomasum
– True stomach
– Enzymes and acids
Parts and Functions
 Small Intestine
– Partially digested feed is
mixed
 Bile
 Pancreatic juice
 Intestinal juice
– Most of the food nutrient
is absorbed
 Villi or Papillae
Parts and Functions
 Large intestine
– Main function is to absorbed water
– Add mucus to undigested feed
 Feces
Non-Ruminant
 Objective: Describe the function and major
parts of the digestive system of non-
ruminants.
Non-Ruminant
 Simple digestive system
– (Monogastric)
– Feed must be highly quality concentrates
– Cannot digest large amounts of fiber
 Human
 Dogs
 Cats
 Rabbits
 Pigs
 Horses????
Non-Ruminant Parts &
Functions
 Mouth
 Esophagus
 Stomach
– Enzymes acts on feed
– Churns and mixes
 Small intestine
 Large intestine
Non-Ruminant Parts &
Functions
 Accessory system
– Liver
 Produces bile that acts on fat
– Pancreas
 Produces insulin
 Anus
– End of the digestive tract
Monogastric
Simple Digestive System
Poultry Digestive
Systems
 Objective: Describe the function and major
parts of the digestive system of non-
ruminants.
Poultry
 Chickens
 Turkeys
 Ducks
 Geese
Poultry Digestive
Systems
 Mouth or beak
– Can not chew food
 Esophagus
– Connects mouth to crop
 Crop
– Stores feed
Poultry Digestive
Systems
 Gizzard
– Crushes feed
 Contains grit and gravel
– Mixes feed with digestive juices
 Liver
 Small and Large Intestine
 Vent
– Removes solid and liquid waste
Inspecting Animal
Digestive Systems
 Esophagus
– Tube like structure
 Stomach
– Pouch with undigested feed
 Liver
– Large brown organ beneath the stomach
or crop
Inspecting Animal
Digestive Systems
 Small intestine
– Long tube
– Gray colored partially digested feed
 Large intestine
– Large relatively short compartment
– Contains fecal material
Nutrients
Competency: Distinguish the
functions and sources of feed
nutrients for farm animals
Groups of Nutrients
 Objective: Identify the six major
groups of nutrients
Carbohydrates
 Composed of sugar, starches,
cellulose and lignin
 Provide energy and heat
 Make up the largest quantity of
livestock feed
– Carbon
– Hydrogen
– Oxygen
Fats and Oils
 2.25 times the energy value of
carbohydrates
 At body temperature fat are solids and
oils are liquid
– Example: cooking lard
 Extra carbohydrates are stored as fats
– Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
 Carriers fat-soluble vitamins
Proteins
 Major component of muscles and
tissues
 Made up of amino acids
 Continuously needed to replace dying
body cells
 Young animals need large amounts for
growth
Vitamins
 Needed in small quantities
 Helps regulate body functions
 Designated by letters
– A,B,C,D,E,K
 Sources:
– Naturally found in feed
– Feed additives made from animal by-
products
– Made by the body itself
Minerals
 Needed in small amounts
– Calcium, phosphorus, sodium, etc.
 Regulates body functions
 Provide growth for:
– Bone
– Teeth
– Tissue
 Example: calcium is needed in poultry for
eggshell development
Water
 Makes up 40% to
60% of the animals
body
 Dissolves other
nutrients and helps
carry them to parts
of the body
Sources of Nutrients
 Carbohydrates
– Cereal grains
 corn
 wheat
 oats
 rye
 barley
 sorghum
Sources of Nutrients
 Proteins
– Plant sources
 Soybean meal
 Cottonseed meal
 Alfalfa meal
– Animal sources
 Meat meal
 Fishmeal
 Dried milk
 Synthetic nitrogen source called urea
Sources of Nutrients
 Fats and Oils
– Grains and protein concentrates
 Vitamins and Minerals
– Most feed ingredients
– Supplements
 Pre-mixes
 Mineral blocks
Sources of Nutrients
 Other sources and exceptions:
– Alfalfa (roughage) can be used to provide
energy and fiber
– Molasses
 Improve taste (palatability)
 Reduce feed dust
Concentrates
 High in Nutrient Value
 Grains
– Corn
– Barley
– Wheat
Roughages
 High in Fiber
 Forage Crops
– Silage
– Hay
– Pasture
Grass
Nutritional Value
 Total Digestible Nutrients
Concentrates are high in TDN
Roughages are low in TDN
