Species
Horses are missing this organ that normally stores bile
Gallbladder
may involve either or both portions of the palate
Palatoschisis
A progressive but preventable disorder; If remains untreated; the bacteria builds-up in the bloodstream and other organs like the heart which commonly cause life threatening damage
Periodontal (Dental) disease
3 types of digestive systems
simple monogastric, monogastric hindgut fermenter, ruminant
All animal species (Including humans) require the same basic needs:
Shelter, Food and Water
This species has Hypsodont teeth
equine, rodent, lagomorph
tissue under the tongue that connects it to the floor of the oral cavity
frenulum
Inflammation anywhere along the digestive tract
Gastroenteritis
holds the tooth into the bone
Periodontal ligaments
Essential Basic Nutrients of All Species:
Water
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Vitamins
Minerals
Omnivore
pig, cow, human
The hardest substance in the body; covers each crown of a tooth
Enamel
Emergency condition that affects dogs and some ruminants
Essentially the stomach “flips”on itself;twisting the intestines and cutting off the blood supply
Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV) “Bloat”
part of intestine, much larger than simple monogastric species
cecum
Most easily digested nutrient that provides energy (“body fuel”)
Carbohydrates
Primarily meat-eaters, consuming the flesh of other animals as their main food source.
Carnivores
the proximal portion; relatively short segment of bowel
Duodenum
Common in cattle since they tend to ingest metal objects like nails or wire
Reticulitis “Hardware disease”
Used to groom, drink & interspecies communication
tongue
Most concentrated form of energy “Fuel” In the body
Lipids (Fats)
Main nutritional source is vegetation plants/plant based foods, grasses, grains, leaves, fruits, vegetables
Herbivores
Name all 4 parts of cow stomach chain IN ORDER
rumen-ferment, reticulum-filter, omasum- pulverizer, abomasum-true
The intestines go inside of each other like a “telescope”
Intussusception
muscular “temporary holding tank” or mixing chamber; where significant digestion occurs
stomach
Used as building blocks for cells, tissues and organs
Proteins
