• • • Single stomach Eat feed low in fiber Humans are also non-ruminants

• • • • • 1. Mouth 2. Esophagus 3. Stomach 4. Small Intestine 5. Large Intestine

• • • • Breaks down feedstuffs into …..

simple chemical parts…..

so the pig can absorb…..

and utilize them .

• • Breaks down feed stuffs by chewing Adds saliva to help in digestion

• Muscles contract to move the food down to the stomach

• Adds digestive juices to break down food

The small intestine….

• • Mixes secretions Absorbs nutrients

• • • Storage and formation of feces Absorption of water Secretion and reabsorption of electrolytes

Non-ruminant

• • • • Abomasum- true stomach depends on digestive enzymes pepsin, rennin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, HCL Needs – energy (fat and CHO), protein (a.a.), minerals (Ca:P 1.2:1 to 1.5:1), vitamins, water, antibiotics and other additives

Swine Gastrointestinal Physiology

11/04

Digestive secretions: saliva

• • Functions of saliva in non-ruminants: – Lubricates food to facilitate swallowing – Contains antibodies and lysozyme – Some amylase in saliva of swine and rats, but much less than in humans Functions of saliva in ruminants: – Maintains fluid consistency of rumen – Slightly alkaline; helps neutralize acids formed by fermentation – May help prevent frothing in rumen

Gastric pits in gastric mucosa • Gastric pits are openings to ducts into which gastric glands empty their secretions

Exocrine gland

• Any gland that directs its secretions through a duct into a compartment that is contiguous with the exterior of the body

Pyloric Cardiac Glandular regions of simple stomach Fundic

Glandular regions of equine, porcine and ruminant stomachs • • Cardiac, fundic and pyloric gland regions are glandular Esophageal regions (“E”) are non glandular epithelium

Pyloric Cardiac Cardiac gland region (cardiac mucosa) Fundic

Pyloric Cardiac Fundic Fundic gland region • • • Mucous neck cells Parietal cells Chief cells

Fundic gland region • • Mucous neck cells secrete mucus Parietal cells secrete: – HCl – Intrinsic factor (not in cats); necessary for absorption of Vitamin B12

Fundic gland region • Chief cells secrete pepsinogen – HCl converts pepsinogen into pepsin – Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme (breaks down proteins into peptides)

Cardiac Pyloric Fundic Pyloric gland region • • Mucous secreting cells G cells

Pyloric gland region • • G cells are endocrine gland cells – secrete the endocrine hormone, gastrin Endocrine cells secrete hormones into the bloodstream – travel to a distant part of the body where they produce an effect on another cell type

Gastrin may interact with either receptor Substances that stimulate HCl secretion by parietal cell • • • Gastrin Acetylcholine Histamine – Histamine secreted by ECL cells in gastric mucosa

Rennin

• Enzyme secreted by abomasal mucosa of young ruminant – Acts to coagulate milk protein, which facilitates its digestion

Site of secretion

Hormone secretions of small intestine: cholecystokinin

Stimuli for secretion Actions Primarily duodenal mucosa Chyme with a: •High amino acid concentration •High fatty acid concentration •Low pH •Inhibits gastric emptying •↑ secretion of pancreatic enzymes and HCO 3 •Stimulates gall bladder contractions

Hormone secretions of the small intestine: secretin

Site of secretion Stimuli for Actions secretion Duodenal mucosa Chyme with a: •Low pH •High fatty acid concentration •↓ HCl production in stomach •↑ pancreatic HCO 3 secretion •↑ biliary HCO 3 secretion

Exocrine pancreatic secretions

• • • Liquid rich in HCO 3 Pancreatic digestive enzymes Both are secreted into duodenum

Pancreatic digestive enzymes

• Pancreatic proteolytic enzymes (pancreatic proteases) are secreted as proenzymes (zymogens)

Proelastase Elastase Activation of pancreatic proteases in small intestine • CCK stimulates duodenal mucosal cells to produce enteropeptidase

Absorption of amino acids from small intestine
