Study Notes
Horse Anatomy and Digestive System
- The most common site of feed impactions in horses is the esophagus.
- The horse lacks a gallbladder.
- The equine hoof has a sensitive laminae located within it.
Ruminant Anatomy and Digestive System
- Ruminants have a type of placentation called epitheliochorial placentation.
- Adult cattle have a dental pad instead of upper incisors, with no upper incisors or canines.
- Ruminants gain energy from volatile fatty acids (VFAs), a product produced by microbes during fermentation.
- Fermentation occurs in the rumen and large intestine in horses.
- The largest organ in the equine body is the liver.
Horse Limbs and Movement
- The equestrian term for the 'knee' in the forelimb of a horse is the carpus.
- The equivalent of the 'knee' in the forelimb of a horse in humans is the carpus.
- The most distal structure on a horse's leg is the hoof.
Ruminant Digestive Process
- Ruminants rely on volatile fatty acids (VFAs) for energy production from fermentation.
- Fermentation occurs in the rumen and large intestine in horses and ruminants.
Ruminant Health
- The condition commonly known as 'Bars Founder' in horses is laminitis.
- Most microbial fermentation takes place in the rumen in ruminants.
- The rumen is the digestive compartment that collects sharp objects, causing hardware disease.
- The reticulum is the smallest ruminant forestomach and is most involved in hardware disease.
- The omasum is the ruminant forestomach responsible for dehydration and grinding feed.
- The abomasum is the compartment in ruminants considered the true stomach.
Reproduction
- The gestation period in mares is approximately 320-340 days.
