Animal science is | simply the collective study of domestic animals. |
Animal science is divided into specific disciplines, or specialties as follows: (8 of Them) | – Animal Genetics – Animal Nutrition – Animal Physiology – Animal health – Ethology – Meat science – Dairy product science – Biotechnology |
approximately___billion large farm animals and ___billion poultry throughout the world. | 4.5 and 19.8 |
Poultry numbers have increased more rapidly at an average rate of over__annually. | 5% |
• meat supplies approximately____ • milk provides approximately____, • fish supplies approximately____, • and eggs supply___. | 49.5%, 25.8%, 16% 8.7% |
Meat, eggs, and dairy products are important food sources because they are | Nutrient Dense |
Annual per capita meat supply ranges from over____. in affluent countries to very little in poor countries. | 300 lbs |
The___is the most important meat source, producing__of the world’s meat | pig 38% |
World meat production has increased steadily for many years at an average rate of___per year | 2% |
Cattle supply___of the world’s milk supply. – Buffalos supply ___of world’s milk. | 83% 13% |
In addition to meat, poultry species produce a_____high quality product—____. | Second Eggs |
sheep (____and Persian lambskins), • goats (_____and mohair), | wool Cashmere |
xenotransplantation (what happens to a pig liver and human liver) | the replacing of human organs with those from animals, is an active and promising area of research |
• The stresses of the natural and/or artificial environment that affect animals may be classified as: (5 of them) | -climatic stresses, – nutritional stresses, – internal stresses, – geographical stresses, – and social stresse |
_______or______changes are changes in form and structure. | Morphological Anatomical |
Two terms,__________and________, refer to a country’s level of economic development | Developed Countries Developing Countries |
___________are usually small, labor-intensive farm units. __________are usually large range units. | Intensive Systems Extensive Systems |
________is the study of how the body uses the nutrients in feed to sustain life and for productive purposes. | Nutrition |
________are substances required for life processes, reproduction, growth and lactation | Nutrients |
The nutrient classifications are: . | – water, – carbohydrates, – vitamins, – minerals, – proteins, – and fats (lipids) |
The amount of nutrients depends on: | – type of species, its digestive tract, and any peculiarities of its metabolism; – and the level of production and the product(s) being produced (work, fetus, growth, milk, eggs, and fiber). |
Monogastrics, or nonruminants | are one stomached, or simple-stomach animals. Include chicken, turkey, swine and horse |
ruminants | —cattle, sheep, goats have four compartment stomach. Pseudoruminants (llamas) have three |
Prehension, | the means an animal uses to bring food into its mouth, is the first step of digestion. |
• Mastication • | , or chewing, involves the action of the jaw and teeth to crush the food. |
Salivation | includes secretion and mixing of saliva with food |
The small intestine is divided into three portions: | duodenum jejunum ileum |
The large intestine has three parts: (CCR) | the cecum, the colon, and the rectum. |
Defecation | is the discharge of excrement from the body via the rectum or cloaca. |
Micturition | is urination |
The complex stomach is comprised of four compartments: | – rumen, – reticulum, – omasum, – and the abomasum. |
genotype, | sets the stage for traits such coat type, coat color, speed, body composition, growth, reproduction, milk production, disease resistance, and other |
