Presentation Transcript

  1. Animal Nutrition

  2. Nutritional Requirements • Undernourished • not enough calories • Overnourished • too many calories • Malnourished • missing one or more essential nutrients

  3. Essential Nutrients • Essential Amino Acids • Essential Fatty Acids • Essential Vitamins • Essential Minerals

  4. Essential Amino Acids • Found in proteins • 20 different types • Nine essential in humans • all in animal proteins • vegetarians need to eat grains and beans

  5. Essential Fatty Acids • Unsaturated fatty acids • used to make phospholipids for membranes

  6. Essential Vitamins • Fat Soluble • stored in fat • K, A, D, E • Water Soluble • excreted in urine • B complex and C

  7. Essential Minerals • Inorganic nutrients • Calcium & Phosphorous • bones • Iron • anemia • Iodine • thyroid hormones • Sodium, Chlorine, & Potassium • nerve function, water regulation

  8. Food Types • Heterotrophic • Herbivores • Carnivores • Omnivores • Insectivores

  9. Feeding Adaptations • Suspension Feeders

  10. Feeding Adaptations • Substrate Feeders

  11. Feeding Adaptations • Fluid Feeders

  12. Feeding Adaptations • Bulk Feeders

  13. Intracellular Digestion • Inside cells • All animals • Exclusive in: • Protista • Porifera

  14. Extracellular Digestion • Outside cells • All animals above the sponges • Two Types • Gastrovascular Cavity • Alimentary Canal

  15. Gastrovascular Cavity • One opening • Found in Cnidaria and Platyhelminthes

  16. Alimentary Canal • Two openings • Allows for specialization • Mouth • Pharynx • Esophagus • Crop • Gizzard • Stomach • Intestine • Anus

  17. Mammalian Digestion • Accessory Glands • salivary glands • pancreas • liver (emulsification) • gallbladder • Peristalsis • Sphincters • “Food” • bolus • acid chyme • feces

  18. Macromolecule Digestion

  19. Dentition and Diet • Nonmammal vertebrates • Carnivores • canines (grasping) • incisors (tearing) • molars and premolars • (crushing and grinding) • Herbivores • Omnivores

  20. Digestive Tracts • Carnivores • shorter digestive system • small cecum • Herbivores • longer digestive system • large cecum
