Difference in Digestive Systems
• A ruminant animal has one stomach, 4 compartments each compartment plays a different role to ultimately utilized the energy from what was consumed which, would most likely be grass or hay. Cows, goat, sheep and deer are ruminants. they chew what is called cud which, is a pre digestion of feed. they chew cud till it can be broken down into small particle size then re digested and absorb nutrients.
• Non- ruminant such as birds, dogs, and cats do not eat grass and if they do it is not always good for them. They have what is called a simple stomach likes ours.
RuminantMouth – chew, twist and lubricate forage.
Rumen – (storage vat), regurgitates cud to be re-chewed, digest microbes into small particles.
Omasum – removes most of the water.
Abomasum – (true stomach), food mixes with gastric juices, breaks down food into building blocks.
Sm Intestine – absorbs nutrients
Lg Intestine – microbial digestion continues into cecum – less than a horse, more than a pig
* 72 hours to empty*
Non-RuminantMouth – Chew and breakdown forage
Saliva – lubricate and ease food down esophagus
Stomach – mix food and gastric juices – break down fats and proteins
Small Intestine – enzymes breakdown fats, proteins and sugars to be absorbed.
Large Intestine – Bacteria and Protozoa breakdown food into nutrients to be absorbed.
Horse – lg – increased forage, graze
Pigs, Chickens and Humans – sm – decreased forage
Rectum – Undigested fiber and waste expelled. *Empties in 24 hours*
Dairy Cattle
Nutritional – Depends on use – change ration if illness present
2% body weight in hay, 3X this amount silage
Protein – ½ to 2lbs of oil meals, 3X this amount alfalfa
To fatten – 60% grain, 40% hay in = amounts to 3% body weight
Housing – Clean and dry shelters, good drainage, waste removed regularly
Disease Prevention – Clean, groomed, vaccinated, good drainage, waste removed regularly
Waste Control/removal – Good drainage, waste removed regularly
Breeding Program – Mating of 2 breeds in attempt to produce a cattle that has an average of both breeds.
Purebred - Purebred are those animals that have been bred-up to purebred status as a result of using full blood animals to cross with an animal of another breed.
Convert from forage to milk
Cows eat a whole days worth of food in just minutes and store it in their first stomach called a rumen. The food is made into small balls called cuds. The cow then burps up the cud, chews on it and swallows it again, as much as 60 times. Each time the food digests more with the gastric juices and fluids. The food moves through all four stomachs. This is then absorbed into the blood stream.
In the cows udders are small sacs called alveoli. The Aveoli take the nutrients from the blood stream, add protein, lactose and added fat to produce the milk.
Difference in feed need for Dairy versus Beef Cattle
• Beef cattle normally need just roughage to subsist. Beef cows do considerably well on just grass and hay, though some producers like to give them a taste of grain or silage or alfalfa cubes if the hay quality is poorer than necessary. Finishing beefers are typically fed a grain-based diet, though the natural-way of finishing beefers involve mostly grass and legumes. Grass-finishing is a niche market comparted to grain-finishing. Beef cattle have less nutritive requirements than dairy cows.
Dairy cattle need a feed that is high in energy, protein and calcium to be able to produce good milk. Since dairy cows are quite thin, they need this feed for both bodily maintenance and lactation, as thin cows need a higher quality feed to meet maintenance needs. Grain and silage (grass, cereal grain and/or alfalfa) is the primary diet that dairy cows are fed.

Milk• Grade A primarily used for direct sales and
consumption in stores, mechanically refrigerated
• Grade B used for indirect consumption, such as in cheese making or other processing, cooled in milk
cans Milk products are sold in a number of varieties based on
types/degrees of• additives (e.g., vitamins),• age (e.g., cheddar),• coagulation (e.g., cottage cheese),• farming method (e.g., organic, grass-fed).• fat content (e.g., half and half),• fermentation (e.g., buttermilk),• flavoring (e.g., chocolate),• homogenization (e.g., cream top),• reduction or elimination of lactose,• mammal (e.g., cow, goat, sheep),• packaging (e.g., bottle),• pasteurization (e.g., raw milk),• water content (e.g., dry milk)
Requirements for Grade A Milk
How and why milk is pasteurized –Pasteurization is used to kill harmful microorganisms by heating the milk for a
short time and then cooling it for storage and transportation. A newer process, ultrapasteurization or ultra-high temperature treatment (UHT),
heats the milk to a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time. This extends its shelf life and allows the milk to be stored unrefrigerated because of the longer lasting sterilization effect. WIKIPEDIA
• Inspections – Facilities, equipment repair and maintenance, cleaning and sanitation of equipment, milk cooling and storage requirements, water supply, and general Housekeeping.
• Milk Sampling - Look for number of bacteria, number of somatic cells (udder infection), animal drug-residue (meds used to treat dairy cattle), Brucellosis, and added water
Kinds of equipment used for milking –- Milk House - Window Space - Ventilation- Equipment - Wash and rinse Sink - Storage racks or tables - Separate sink for hand washing - Bulk Tanks - Refrigeration Unit - Containers - Water Source
Sanitation standards that must be met for dairy farms –
There are no shortcuts to producing and protecting quality milk. Regulations and recommendations are aimed at getting the job done within practical and achievable building, milk handling and management routines. The concerned producer will weigh the options carefully and thoroughly.
Terms
Bull – A sexually intact un-castrated adult male
Cow – A mature female
Steer – A male castrated before reaching sexual maturity
Heifer – A young cow that has not produced a calf
Springer – A heifer or cow that is nearly ready to calve therefore begins to produce milk
Female goats are referred to as does or nannies, intact males as bucks or billies; theiroffspring are kids. Castrated males are wethers. Goat meat from younger animals is calledkid or cabrito, and from older animals is simply known as goat or sometimes called chevon, or in some areas mutton (which more often refers to adult sheep meat)
