  2. Ruminal tympany - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruminal_tympany

    Ruminal tympany, also known as ruminal bloat, is a disease of ruminant animals, characterized by an excessive volume of gas in the rumen. Ruminal tympany may be primary, known as frothy bloat, or secondary, known as free-gas bloat. [1] In the rumen, food eaten by the ruminant is fermented by microbes.

  3. Goat grazing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_grazing_problem

    The goat problems do not yield any new mathematical insights; rather they are primarily exercises in how to artfully deconstruct problems in order to facilitate solution. Three-dimensional analogues and planar boundary/area problems on other shapes, including the obvious rectangular barn and/or field, have been proposed and solved. [ 1 ]

  5. Rumen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumen

    The rumen, also known as a paunch, is the largest stomach compartment in ruminants. [1] The rumen and the reticulum make up the reticulorumen in ruminant animals. [2]The diverse microbial communities in the rumen allows it to serve as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed, which is often fiber-rich roughage typically indigestible by mammalian digestive systems.

  6. Cud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cud

    Eventually, a collapse of the microbial ecosystem in the rumen will occur because of the low pH. Acute rumen acidosis can lead to death of the animal, and will occur if the animal is allowed to eat a diet with no roughage but high levels of highly digestible starchy concentrate. Some dairy cows in intensive systems of milk production may have ...

  8. Livestock dehorning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livestock_dehorning

    Cattle, sheep, and goats are sometimes dehorned [1] [2] for economic and safety reasons. Disbudding is a different process with similar results; it cauterizes and thus destroys horn buds before they have grown into horns. Disbudding is commonly performed early in an animal's life, as are other procedures such as docking and castration. In some ...

  9. Paratuberculosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paratuberculosis

    The clinical signs are similar in other ruminants. In sheep and goats, the wool or hair is often damaged and easily shed, and diarrhea is uncommon. In deer, paratuberculosis can progress rapidly. Intestinal disease has also been reported in rabbits and nonhuman primates. [citation needed]
