[2] Immunologic reactions, also known as Type 1 reactions, [10] are caused by the binding of ingested molecules to specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. [11]
The small intestine is the main site of nutrient absorption. The surface area of the digesta is greatly increased here because of the villi that are in the small intestine. This increased surface area allows for greater nutrient absorption. Microbes produced in the reticulorumen are also digested in the small intestine.

A diet that contains adequate amounts of amino acids (especially those that are essential) is particularly important in some situations: during early ...

Bone meal (or bonemeal) is a mixture of finely and coarsely ground animal bones and slaughter-house waste products. [1] It is used as a dietary supplement to supply calcium and phosphorus to monogastric livestock in the form of hydroxyapatite. As a slow-release organic fertilizer, it supplies phosphorus, calcium, and a small amount of nitrogen ...
