If a steer and a horse of equal body weight were fed 10 lbs of oats which would gain more
horse would gain more
- horses digest oats before it undergoes fermentation
- steers ferment before pass the small intestine for digestion and absorption
- more heat and gas lost from steer
a steer, lamb, horse fed same grass hay compare the consistency of the feces produced
Steer: runny, smooth, no distinguishable particles due to particle size breakdown through rumination
Lamb: small, round, dry pellets, no particles lamb undergoes rumination and absorbs more water
horse: round, dry, coarse horse doesn’t ruminate can’t masticate more that once
Why does a steer fed a 90% grain diet gain weight faster that a steer fed grass hay
steers fed grains loose less energy in the form of gas
- acetate , propionate, and butyrate are 3 VFA’s formed
- grains produce less acetate, more propionate therefore less eructation occurs with grain than forages and more energy it utilized
Define the term Cal
1 Cal or 1 Kcal= 1000 calories
-1 Cal= heat energy required to raise temp 1 degree C

-get amylase from licking nose
Explain lactose intolerant
they cannot synthesize lactase to break down the carb lactose. thus milk is processed through small intestine and fermented in large intestine
