________________ is the term used to refer to the force that moves food after swallowing throughout the animal's gastrointestinal tract (digestive system). - Correct Answer-peristalsis Animal heat loss as a result of the animal's body coming in contact with an object (floor) is known as: - Correct Answer-conduction True or false: In our considerations of space requirements for livestock production, solid concrete floors hold a higher concentration of animal numbers than slatted floors. - Correct Answer-False The ___________________in the ruminant gastrointestinal tract is comparable to the simple stomach in the nonruminant? - Correct Answer-abomasum The temperature surrounding the animal also known as effective environmental temperature is very critical for the animal's productive life. Which of the following temperature conditions will be the most appropriate for optimum animal production? - Correct Answer-thermoneutral zone and comfort zone ___________________ is defined as a state of resistance in the animal to a disease- causing agent. - Correct Answer-immunity A nutrient is defined as a feed constituent that aids in the support of animal life. Which of the following is not a nutrient. - Correct Answer-mecadox At the Upper critical temperature (UCT) the animal consumes less feed. Which of the following statements is true in animal nutrition: - Correct Answer-Fat additions to the diet are helpful Percentage protein requirements will increase All farm animals that are able to maintain a relatively constant body temperature are known as: - Correct Answer-homeotherms True or false: Horses need to be fed small rations many times per day because the layering effect of ingesta results in many digestive disorders. - Correct Answer-True Animal heat loss as a result of air movement over the animal's body is known as: - Correct Answer-convection The __________________ is the honeycomb-like compartment in the ruminant digestive system that is often known as the hardware store. - Correct Answer-reticulum
As environmental temperatures decrease (e.g. in the winter), feed intake of farm animals generally ___________. - Correct Answer-increases At the lower critical temperature (LCT)the animal consumes more feed to maintain body temperature. Which of the following statements is true in animal nutrition: - Correct Answer-percentage protein requirements will decrease Fermentation of fibrous feeds in the horse's digestive system, similar to that occuring in the rumen of cattle or sheep occurs in the: - Correct Answer-cecum Annual losses of potential gross income from animals and animal products in the USA caused by animal disease is estimated at: - Correct Answer-15% During heat stress, the thyroid gland secretes _______ thyroxine, causing metabolic rate and heat production to decrease. - Correct Answer-less Farm animals' daily feed intake generally ____________ as environmental temperatures (e.g., summer temperatures) increase. - Correct Answer-decreases True or false: To maintain a constant body temperature heat produced &/or received by the animal must be equal to heat lost by the animal. - Correct Answer-true Horses are monogastric animals yet they can utilize roughages very effectively. _________________ is the anatomical structure in the horse digestive tract that allows the horse to utilize roughages? - Correct Answer-cecum Immunity acquired by the administration of vaccines to animals either early on in their lives or later on in their productive life is also known as ________. - Correct Answer- active immunity In order for young calves to feed on milk diets and not roughage diets early on in their lives, ________ is the specialized structure that allows milk diets to by-pass the rumen.

Given what you have learned about the ruminant digestive system, you would immediately start your young calf on an all forage & roughage ration since dairy cattle are ruminants? - Correct Answer-False true or false: In livestock production animal growth is defined as increase in size. It is a known fact that bone and muscle tissue growth and development occurs first before fat growth and development. - Correct Answer-true True or false: Animals that cannot regulate a constant internal body temperature are known in biological science terms as homeotherms: - Correct Answer-false The processes of feed digestion in animals include: - Correct Answer-chemical changes physical changes release of nutrients In poultry, feed particles are moved through from the mouth into the esophagus, then into a temporary storage structure known as the: - Correct Answer-crop Which one of the following animals depends mostly upon its tongue to grasp vegetative material and shear it against its lower incisors? - Correct Answer-cattle The enzyme lipase is most active in the ____________environment and _______ structure of the digestive tract: - Correct Answer-alkaline environment of the small intestine The minute finger-like proliferations of the small intestinal lining that provide a large surface area for absorption of nutrients are known as: - Correct Answer-villi A healthy & mature rumen in the ruminant is host to microorganisms that help in the fermentation process of feeds ingested, Which of these are examples of these microorganisms? - Correct Answer-bacteria and protozoa True or false: True fat provides a more concentrated amount of energy as compared to carbohydrates, and also provides some of the essential fatty acids - Correct Answer- true
True or false: The amount of water needed by the animal is directly related to the amount of feed dry matter consumed. - Correct Answer-true _____________ is the hormone that affects the utilization of energy in the animal body.
