Digestive Systems of Livestock: A Basic Look
Catalog #: F01-00470
Description:
Explore the digestive systems of monogastric animals (horses, pigs and chickens) and ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats). Watch as a professor of animal science uses models, computer-generated graphics, laproscopic images taken within the system of a live animal, and digestive tracks removed from slaughtered animals to teach about prehension, mastication, simple digestion and rumination. Viewers explore the entire digestive system of a pig, chicken and steer to identify organs and to understand the tissue structures and functions. The instructor dissects organs to expose contents and secretions that aid in digestion. Review questions are presented at the end of each section; the video concludes with 10 identification and multiple-choice questions. Collaborator: Dr. Kevin Pond, department chair and professor of animal science, Texas Tech University. A supplement is included.

Ruminant Digestive Systems: A Closer Look
Catalog #: F01-00471
Description:
Through computer-generated graphics, models, skeletal parts and digestive systems removed from slaughtered animals, a scientist with more than 20 years of experience helps you understand the digestive systems of cattle, sheep, deer and goats. The instructor begins with an overview of prehension, salivation, mastication and rumination. Then, he briefly reviews anatomy: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum and lower digestive tract. As he dissects the digestive track from a 1,000-pound steer, the instructor shows and explains organ structures, contents, tissue textures, functions and capacities. You will see two amazing feats of science: a cannula placed in a live steer to examine stomach contents while the steer is digesting and laproscopic footage filmed from inside the digestive track. Because the program is VideoActive, you can test content mastery through periodic quizzes and a final quiz. Collaborator: Dr. Kevin Pond, department chair and professor of animal science, Texas Tech University. A supplement is included.
