Answer 2

The digestion which is not performed by abdomen and all is performed in the small intestine

and large intestine much as it is in humans and other

mammals. Digesta that leaves the rumen and enters

the lower digestive tract includes some microbes and

undigested fiber, as well as protein and some sugars

produced by the microbes. By-pass protein, fat, and

carbohydrates also enter the lower digestive tract. Bypass

protein, fat, and carbohydrates are nutrients that

cannot be digested in the rumen but may be digested in

the abomasum and small intestine.

Enzymes to digest proteins, sugars, and starch flow into

the small intestine from the pancreas, while the gall

bladder produces bile to help digest fats. The small

intestine also produces some enzymes to aid in digestion,

but its major function is absorption of digested

nutrients. Except for the volatile fatty acids, most of

the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine including

protein, starch, fats, minerals and vitamins.

Water is primarily absorbed in the large intestine.

Undigested feed, some excess water, and some metabolic

wastes leave the large intestine as fecal material.

The consistency of manure is an indicator of animal

health and is dependent on water, fiber, and protein content

of the feed.
