Digestion, absorption and transport of lipids in ruminant animals.

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the digestion, absorption, and transport of lipids in ruminant animals. In simple-stomached animal, processes digestion absorption dietary fats begin essentially when they reach small intestine. situation is very different events that occur within complex polygastric arrangement alimentary tract, principally pregastric microbial fermentation cellulose other plant polymers not normally hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes, have a profound effect on chemical physical nature subsequently presented to intestine for digestion. Two major rumen, which an important bearing composition distribution lipid components digesta their subsequent metabolism These processes, are intrinsically bound together, lipolysis hydrogenation unsaturated fatty-acid constituents. make immense contribution directly host animal after from rumen indirectly through involvement bacterial protozoal synthesis.
