What organ(s) is/are critical for water absorption?
Omasum, small intestine, large intestine
Milk consumed by young, nursing ruminant animals is not fermented in the rumen. Why?
milk is sent directly to omasum via reticular groove
Mark all of the following portions of the digestive system that are critical for particle size reduction.
teeth, ventriculus in birds
Which organ plays the most critical role in nutrient metabolism?
Group of answer choices
liver
Which of the following products of fermentation is used by the host animal for its own needs?
acetate
Which organ does the portal vein deliver blood to?
liver
Which of the following can be an important source of water for an animal?
metabolic water(product of oxidation)
role of omasum?
- water adsorbtion
- residual vfa absorbtion
role of reticulum
- located at base of esophagus, 1st compartment food goes
- -grinding and transfer to mouth rumen or omasum
- no enzymatic secretiobn
- main job is to be sort gate
- honeycomb like structure
- volintary regurgitrTION
- ONLY PASSAGE TO OMASUM, BASED ON PARTICLE SIZE
- STOREES HARDWARE
role of rumen:
Microbial Fermentation:
The primary function of the rumen is microbial fermentation as it mixes, stores, soaks with help of papillae, and removes end prodcuts, improtant stie of adsorbtion, VFa PODCTUON, ALLOWS FEED TO SOAK
role of abomasum:
First site of secretion after salivary glands secretes acid and enztmes, and lysozyme that breasj down bateria cell walls. secretes pepsin
match the following secretion son the digestive system with the species it is most important:
Pig, lion, sheep
sheep- sodium bicarbonate in saliva
pig- amylase in saliva
lion- gastric lipase secreted by stomach
Calculate the cost of corn silage per ton of dry matter, rounded to the nearest dollar. DO NOT INCLUDE UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER. Dry matter: 35%, Cost per ton as delivered: $65
Costpertonofdrymatter
Cost per ton as delivered = $65
Dry matter percentage = 35% (or 0.35)
Now, calculate the cost per ton of dry matter:
65 divided by 0.35
=
185.71
Costpertonofdrymatter=
0.35
65
=185.71
You have been feeding your dog dry food (90% dry matter) for a long time, and he consistently eats about 1 pound per day. You decide to treat him to wet dog food for a day; this product is 50% dry matter. How much do you expect him to eat a day?
x= 0.9/0.50 equals 1.8 pounds
The CONCENTRATION of a given nutrient is always higher on an as-fed basis compared on a dry-matter basis.
false. concentration of a nutrient is always higher on a dry-matter basis than on an as-fed basis because the water is removed, and the nutrients are concentrated in the remaining dry matter.
You want to replace wet distiller’s grains in your current ration with a dried distiller’s grains product. Currently, you mix 10 pounds of the wet product into your ration. How much of the dried product should be included in your new ration? DO NOT INCLUDE UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER. Dry matter of the wet product: 45%
Drymatter=10×0.45=4.5poundsofdrymatter. Then. 4.5/0.90= 5
If you dump 1,250 pounds of alfalfa silage into a mixer wagon, how much dry matter have you added? The silage contains 70% moisture? DO NOT INCLUDE UNITS IN YOUR ANSEWR.
Drymatter=1,250×0.30=375
You had some corn gluten feed analyzed for crude protein content. On a dry-matter basis, in contains 30% crude protein. If your corn gluten feed is 60% dry matter, how much of it (as-fed) do you need to add to a ration to supply 4 pounds of a crude protein? DO NOT INCLUDE UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER.
Crudeproteinonanas-fedbasis
First, let’s calculate the amount of crude protein in the feed on an as-fed basis. Since 30% of the dry matter is crude protein, the crude protein percentage on an as-fed basis is:
30
%
×
60
%
=
0.30
×
0.60
=
0.18
or
18
%
Crudeproteinonanas-fedbasis=30%×60%=0.30×0.60=0.18or18%
Step 2: Determine how much corn gluten feed is needed to supply 4 pounds of crude protein.
Let
𝑥
x be the amount of corn gluten feed (in pounds, as-fed) that needs to be added. The crude protein content of this feed is 18%, so we set up the equation:
𝑥

0.18
=

x×0.18=4
Step 3: Solve for
𝑥
x:
𝑥

You harvested a field of wet corn because of weather conditions. The corn came in at 18% moisture, but to make sure it doesn t spoil during storage, you dry it until it reaches 14% moisture. If you started with 10 tons of corn (as fed), how many tons are left after drying (as fed)? GIVE YOUR ANSWER TO THE NEARES 0.1 TONS AND DO NOT INCLUDE UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER.
The dry matter content stays the same (since we’re just removing moisture), so:

A 400 pound steer is expected to consume about 3% of its body weight in dry matter each day. You are feeding it a diet that is 60% dry matter. How many pounds of feed (as fed) should you weigh out for the steer each day)? DO NOT INCLUDE UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER.
As-fedfeed
Step 1: Calculate the amount of dry matter the steer needs to consume.
The steer weighs 400 pounds.
The steer is expected to consume 3% of its body weight in dry matter each day.
Drymatterrequired
=
400
×
0.03
=
12
poundsofdrymatterperday
Drymatterrequired=400×0.03=12poundsofdrymatterperday
Step 2: Adjust for the moisture content of the feed.
The feed is 60% dry matter, which means 40% is water.
To find the total amount of as-fed feed needed to provide 12 pounds of dry matter, use the formula:
As-fedfeed
=
