Modelling digestive constraints in non-ruminant and ruminant foregut-fermenting mammals.
It has been suggested that large foregut-fermenting marsupial herbivores, the kangaroos and their relatives, may be less constrained by food intake limitations as compared with ruminants, due mainly to differences in their digestive morphology and management of ingesta particles through the gut. In particular, as the quality of forage declines with increasing contents of plant fibre (cellulose,...
متن کاملAdaptations of digestive systems in non-ruminant herbivores.
Early in the evolution of mammals some lineages veered away from small body size and insectivory, which characterized the earliest mammals, to become larger and herbivorous (e.g., Romer, 1966). Since plant matter is much more difficult to digest than animal matter, because of the high content of structural carbohydrates, such animals should be larger so as to be able to accommodate the more ela...
متن کاملDeficiency of Carnitine in Non-Ruminant Animals
Under most conditions for the majority of species, carnitine would not be considered a vitamin as it is adequately synthesized in body tissues. However, the need for supplemental carnitine has been demonstrated in mammals in circumstances in which the biosynthesis is limited by nutritional deprivation of the precursor amino acids lysine and methionine. Dietary carnitine is essential for some in...

This study investigates the effect of supplementing bovine follicular fluids (FF) to rabbit sperm motility, acrosome reaction and transaminases activities. Ovarian FF were collected from 46 pairs of bovine ovaries. Normal follicles were classified, according to their diameters, into small (SFF, ≤4 mm), medium (MFF,>4-8 mm), large (LFF,> 8 mm) and cystic (CSTFF,>20 mm). Rabbit semen was collecte...
