Ruminant

However, improvement of crop residues through the inclusion with other supplements is necessary in supplying ruminant requirements for enhancing livestock sustainability. Similarly, crop residue urea process feeding technology is considered essential to advance productivity, profitability of agriculture and livelihoods of cattle farmers. There is a need for effective linkages between the farmers, extensions agents and researchers which will bring about access to knowledge and skills acquisition for the cattle farmers which is an indispensable driving element for development and utilization of the crop residue urea process feeding technology. It is therefore important that extension services should be unified and should not concentrate only on crop production but also on animal production for strengthening and sensitizing cattle farmers on the utilization…

Memo To: Seniors preparing for a career in Research & Development in Ruminant Nutrition From: Cendra Sebolt Date: January 20, 2018 Re: Proposal Writing Guide Congratulations on making it to your senior year in Animal Science, pursuing a career in Ruminant Nutrition. As you know, Ruminant Nutrition is a diverse field, and pursuing Research and Development was a great choice. Research allows us to try new things, gain more knowledge, and make new discoveries in order to help animals. An…

this would be toxic and lower the overall digestibility of the feed because the gastrointestinal tract of that animal is unable to metabolize any usable protein from that nitrogen source. On the other hand, the bacteria in the rumen of a ruminant is able to convert this non-protein nitrogen source into a usable protein source such as microbial protein. In the case of proteins, the level of digestibility of the feed can affect the net protein value, the NPV, which is a measurement of the growth…

This style of digestion is somewhat of the inverse of hind-gut fermentation. There is a large fore-gut where the majority of digestion occurs that is then followed relatively smaller hind-gut. For this process to work ruminants are an equipped with a polygastric stomach which is separated in to four distinct sections by membranous structure with in the stomach. Following the transport of digesta first there is the rumen the larges part of the stomach being able to hold as much as 50 gallons of…

Salivary glands produce saliva in order to keep parts of the digestive system (such as the mouth) moist. This helps break down carbohydrates for digestion. The third type of digestive system is the ruminant digestive system. The ruminant digestive system occurs in organisms who possess stomachs with four compartments (the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum). This digestive system is usually found in organisms such as cattle. The final digestive system is the pseudo-ruminant…

between species. Yet, understanding how species are partitioning resources is fundamental in all aspects of wildlife management, ranging from applied habitat management to theoretical population viability analysis (PVA). This is evident in the western United States, where millions of acres of land are managed simultaneously for a suite of large ruminants (Beck and Peek 2005). The four ruminants that this paper will focus on are domestic cattle (Bos taurus), elk (Cervus elaphus), white-tailed…

Additionally there have been strict restrictions placed on imported goods from other countries (especially Western Europe) known to have suffered from infections by prions. “To prevent BSE [bovine spongiform encephalopathy or Mad Cow Disease] from entering the United States, severe restrictions were placed on the importation of live ruminants, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, and certain ruminant products from countries where BSE was known to exist. These restrictions were later extended to…

from this disease and more studies should be attempets to estimate the serotype of blue tongue virus. Key Words: Bluetongue, cELISA, sheep, goat, cattle, Seroprevalence, Assiut Governorate 2. INTRODUCTION: Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the causative agent of bluetongue disease in sheep and cattle, an insect transmitted disease of ruminants (Erasmus., 1975). BTV belongs to Orbivirus genus of family Reoviridae it has double stranded segmented RNA genome having ten discrete segments The seven of these…

Austin, Suchar, Robbins, and Hagerman found that browsers produce more tannin binding proteins in their saliva when compared to grazers (1989). This is the case in the Okapi who have enlarged salivary glands that produce tannin binding proteins (Clauss, Hummel, Völlm, Lorenz, & Hofmann, 2006). Although it is typically thought that tannins only affect non-ruminants, researchers have found that tannin content in feedstuffs can have a negative effect on ruminant digestion of protein (Min,…

Animal agriculture caused global warming, task 8 Animal’s farming is responsible for 9% of human that causes carbon dioxide globally. The animal farming is also a source of a greenhouse gas. Ruminant animal’s like cattle produces methane which is a greenhouse gas about 20 times more powerful of carbon dioxide. One of the main ways in which livestock sectors contributes to global warming is caused by the expansion of grazing land and farmable of land used to grow crops. The livestock sector is…
