DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS REVIEW

Non-ruminant Digestive Tract

FUNCTIONS OF PARTS OF THE NONRUMINANT DIGESTIVE TRACT

• Mouth– Prehension and mastication– Taste – Secretion of saliva

• Composition– Water– Mucin– Bicarbonate salts– Enzymes (some species)

• Stomach– Secretions

• Hydrochloric acid • Protease

– Pepsinogen → Pepsin

• Hormone– Gastrin

• Small intestine (2 main functions)– Secretions (From 3 locations)

1. Pancreas– Proteases

» Trypsinogen → Trypsin» Chymotrypsinogen → Chymotrypsin» Procarboxypeptidase → Carboxypeptidase

– Carbohydrase» Amylase

– Lipase» Lipase

2. Liver– Bile salts

3. Intestinal mucosa– Carbohydrases

» Maltase» Lactase» Sucrase

– Peptidases– Gut hormones

» Secretin» Cholecystokinin

– Absorption

• Large intestine – Structural carbohydrate fermentation

• Importance and size dependent on diet

• What is a structural carbohydrate that might be fermented in the large intestine vs. a carbohydrate that is not structural or fermented in the large intestine?

– Example?

REVIEW OF NONRUMINANT DIGESTION

Nutrient Mouth Stomach Small intestine Large intestine

Starchinitiates

digestion to maltose

Pancreatic amylase & intestinal maltase to

glucose

Disaccharides Intestinal disaccharidases to monosacharides

Structural carbohydrates

Fermented to:

Amylase

Volatile Fatty Acids

(VFA’s)

REVIEW OF NONRUMINANT DIGESTION

Nutrient Mouth Stomach Small intestine Large intestine

Protein and pepsin

Proteases (pancreas) dipeptidases

Lipids (Including fat-soluble vitamins)

Bile salts & pancreatic lipase to

monoglycerides, fatty acids, and fat-soluble

vitamins

Water soluble vitamins

Absorption Produced during

fermentation

HCL

Amino acids

AVIAN DIGESTIVE TRACT

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AVIAN AND NONRUMINANT MAMMALIAN DIGESTIVE TRACTS

• Mouth– Prehension of feed– No teeth– No amylase

• Esophagus– Has crop for feed storage

• Stomach– Proventriculus before feed is ground

• Gizzard– Grinds feed

• Small intestine– No lactase

• Large intestine – Small in most species

• Cloaca– Organ where feces mixed with urinary waste products

(Ventriculus)

(Ceca)

RUMINANT DIGESTIVE TRACT

FUNCTIONS OF PARTS OF THE RUMINANT DIGESTIVE TRACT

• Mouth– Prehension of feed

• Lips and tongue– Chewing

• Eating and Rumination– Taste

• Avoidance– Secretion of saliva

• Secretion of buffers– NaHCO3 and NaH2PO4

– Maintain rumen pH• Recycling of N, Na, P, and water to rumen• Bloat prevention

• Esophagus– Involved in rumination and eructation

• Stomach– Reticulum, rumen & omasum

• Fermentation• Absorption of fermentation endproducts

– Abomasum• Secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen

• Small intestine– Similar to non-ruminant– No sucrase

• Large intestine– Similar to non-ruminant– More important in browsing species
