Board Summary
Digestive System of Farm Animals
Digestion involves the process of breaking down food into globular substance
absorbed by the cells into main stream of the animal body. Digestion could be classified into
three groups
a. Digestion in ruminant animals e.g goat, sheep, cattle
b. Digestion in Non- ruminant animals e.g rabbit, pigs, horse
3. Digestion in poultry such as domestic – Fowl, dick
Digestion in Ruminant animals
Ruminant animals have their stomachs divided into four chambers
a. Rumen
b. Reticulum
c. Omasum
d. Abomasum
Ruminant e.g cattle feed it folds the grass with its tongue, cut it swallow it with
minimum chewing and swallowed passes through the esophagus to the rumen where the
grass is stored and microorganism act on it and synthesize vitamin. The food goes to
abomasum (true stomach)
The digested food is absorbed in the small intestine while the faeces is passed out
through the anus via the rectum.
Function of the Rumen
1. Stores food hurriedly ingested by the animal
2. Send food back to the mouth for chewing (chewing the cud)
3. Contain bacteria capable of digesting cellulose
4. Has large capacity for food
5. Enable animal to utilize non – protein nitrogen substance

Board Summary
Differences between the digestive system of ruminants and monogastric animals
S/N Ruminant Animals Monogastric Animals
1 The stomach has four chambers – The stomach is simple – has only one
rumen, reticulum, omasum and chamber
abomasum
2 The capacity of ruminant is large Their stomach capacity is small
3 Roughages are effectively utilized Only simple foods can be effectively utilized
4 They have no incisors form of teeth for They have incisors and canines for biting and
tearing rather they have broad molars tearing
for grinding forages and microbes
5 They can utilized non – protein They cannot utilize non protein nitrogenous
nitrogenous substance such as urea substance
and biuret

Board Summary
The circulatory system is made possible essentially by blood and the heart including
arteries, veins and capillaries
Function of Blood
1. It transports food including vitamins
2. It carries oxygen to all part of the body
3. It protects the body against diseases
4. It transport chemical regulators
5. It maintain the temperature of the body
6. It carries waste product such as carbon iv oxide
7. It control loss of blood from wounds and prevent bacteria from entering by means of
clot formation
Mammals are said to have double circulation in that one circulation take the blood
from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart (pulmonary or lung circulation). The other
takes the blood from the heart to the other part of the body and back to the heart (systematic
or body circulation).
Pulmonary Circulation
The deoxygenated blood is forced from the right ventricle like the ventricles contract
into the pulmonary artery which carries it to the lungs artery break into capillaries in the lungs
the thin wall oxygen diffuse into the blood from the air. When the oxygen have been
absorbed the oxygenated blood return from the capillaries of the lungs through the
pulmonary veins to the left auricle of the heart.
