Study Notes
Nutrition: Applied Biochemistry & Physiology
- Nutrients: Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids (fats), minerals, vitamins, and water are essential
- Carbohydrates (CHO):
- Nonstructural CHO (NCHO): Starches and sugars; easily digested.
- Structural CHO (SCHO): Cellulose; resistant to digestion by mammalian enzymes.
- Proteins:
- Macromolecules made of amino acids (AA).
- 10 essential amino acids (EAA) must be absorbed from the diet.
- 10 nonessential amino acids (NEAA) can be synthesized by the animal.
- Lipids (Fats):
- Soluble in organic solvents.
- Two essential fatty acids: Oil and fat.
- Minerals:
- Inorganic elements.
- Macrominerals (% of diet): Ca, P, Na, Cl, K, Mg, S.
- Microminerals (ppm or ppb): Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu, Se, Co, Mo, I, Cr, Fl
- Vitamins:
- Water-soluble: Vitamins C and others. Consumed daily, excreted in urine.
- Fat-soluble: ADEK; stored in fat.
- Water (Hâ‚‚O):
- Essential for life.
- Soluble in water, so animals can consume it in excess, excreting out daily.
- Necessary intake varies based on weather conditions.
Metabolism
- Metabolism: Sum of biochemical reactions in the body. Includes anabolism and catabolism.
- Anabolism: Biosynthesis; building complex molecules. Requires energy.
- Catabolism: Degradation of complex molecules; yields energy. Energy produced via anabolism.
Digestive Physiology
- Digestive Tract:
- Diet selection and dietary strategies.
- Animal's ability to extract nutrients from feedstuffs.
- Monogastrics (e.g., humans, pigs, horses): Simple stomachs. -Stomach is not divided.
- Ruminants (e.g., cows, sheep, goats): Four-compartment stomach: reticulum, rumen, omasum, abomasum.
- Pseudoruminants (e.g., camels, llamas): Three compartment stomach.
Digestive Processes
- Oral Cavity: Mechanical breakdown (mastication), mixing with saliva (lubrication).
- Esophagus: Transports food to the stomach.
- Stomach:
- Storage of feed, controlling flow to small intestine.
- Mixing and physical processing.
- Secretion of enzymes, acid, and buffers (e.g., HCl, NaHCO3).
- Digestion (chemical breakdown).
- Absorption of watersoluble substances.
Small Intestine
- Small Intestine: Primary site of digestion and absorption.
- Functions: Digestion (prepare ingest food for absorption; hydrolysis), absorption (hydrolysis into usable components), Secretion (enzymes), Immune function.
- Fermentation: Preparation for hydrolysis and digestion in different compartments of the stomach.
- Products: VFA, CH4, CO2, MPL (microbial phospholipids) , MCP, NH3 (ammonia). All are abs. in differnt locations.
Hindgut vs Foregut Fermentation
- Foregut: Fermentation before the small intestine. Ruminants.
- Animal benefits from all products of fermentation.
- Easily digested nutrients are fermented.
- Reduces the nutritional benefit to the animal.
- Hindgut: Fermentation after the small intestine. Horses.
- Mammal first access to easily digested nutrients.
- Microbial products (MPL, MCP, vitamins) are excreted in feces.
