  • Avian Crop Function–A Review
    Ann. Anim. Sci., Vol. 16, No. 3 (2016) 653–678 DOI: 10.1515/aoas-2016-0032 AVIAN CROP function – A REVIEW* * Bartosz Kierończyk1, Mateusz Rawski1, Jakub Długosz1, Sylwester Świątkiewicz2, Damian Józefiak1♦ 1Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Management, Poznań University of Life Sciences, Wołyńska 33, 60-637 Poznań, Poland 2Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Science, National Research Institute of Animal Production, 32-083 Balice n. Kraków, Poland ♦Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The aim of this review is to present and discuss the anatomy and physiology of crop in different avian species. The avian crop (ingluvies) present in most omnivorous and herbivorous bird spe- cies, plays a major role in feed storage and moistening, as well as functional barrier for pathogens through decreasing pH value by microbial fermentation. Moreover, recent data suggest that this gastrointestinal tract segment may play an important role in the regulation of the innate immune system of birds. In some avian species ingluvies secretes “crop milk” which provides high nutri- ents and energy content for nestlings growth. The crop has a crucial role in enhancing exogenous enzymes efficiency (for instance phytase and microbial amylase,β -glucanase), as well as the activ- ity of bacteriocins. Thus, ingluvies may have a significant impact on bird performance and health status during all stages of rearing. Efficient use of the crop in case of digesta retention time is es- sential for birds’ growth performance. Thus, a functionality of the crop is dependent on a number of factors, including age, dietary factors, infections as well as flock management.

  • Raptor Digestion Facts
    Raptor Digestion Facts For birds that have a crop, food passes to the crop to soften or to just be stored temporarily. From there food goes to the stomachs. Owls do not have crops, all other raptors do. Food is stored in the crop on the way down, but not on the way up. Birds have two stomachs (in this order): A glandular stomach (the proventriculus) which digests food chemically A muscular stomach or gizzard (the ventriculus) that grinds food with the aid or grit. In many carnivorous species – hawks, for example, their glandular stomach is so highly acidic, it dissolves bones. The bearded vulture of Europe and China is said to have a stomach so acidic it can dissolve the whole of a cow’s vertebra in one or two days. Pellets are formed in the gizzard. A given bird’s pellet will be the size and shape of their gizzard. The gizzard of birds serves the same function as the teeth and strong jaws of mammals. The gizzard is most developed in birds that eat plant parts. Birds intentionally ingest grit to be kept in their gizzard to help grind food. They can prevent this grit from passing through the digestive system with the food, and remain in the gizzard. Birds prefer brightly colored grit. Such examples of grit found in birds include: quartz, granite, ruby, gold, fruit pits, coal, ground oyster shells, black lava, and lead shot form shotguns (this of course causes lead poisoning, which we do see a lot of at Willowbrook). Many other birds cough-up pellets, especially those which feed much on insects.

LEYDIG CELL • Leydig cells are present near the capillaries in the interstitial space between seminiferous tubules. • They are rich in mitochondria & endoplasmic reticulum. • Leydig cells secrete testosterone,DHEA & Androstenedione. • The activity of leydig cell is different in different phases of life.

  • Digestion of CHO, Fats, and Proteins
    Handout 5 Carbohydrate, Fat, and Protein Digestion ANSC 619 PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY OF LIVESTOCK SPECIES Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins I. Variations in stomach architecture A. Poultry (avian species in general) 1. The crop, proventriculus, and gizzard replace the simple stomach of other monogastrics. 2. The esophagus extends to the cardiac region of the proventriculus. 3. The proventriculus is similar to the stomach, in that typical gastric secretions (mucin, HCl, and pepsinogen) are produced. B. Omnivores 1. Nonglandular region – no digestive secretions or absorption occurs. 2. Cardiac region – lined with epithelial cells that secrete mucin (prevents lining of the stomach from being digested). 3. Fundic region – contains parietal cells (secrete HCl), neck chief cells (secrete mucin), and body chief cells (secrete pepsinogen, and lipase). 1 Handout 5 Carbohydrate, Fat, and Protein Digestion II. Architecture of gastrointestinal tracts in monogastrics, herbivores, and ruminants A. Monogastrics – pigs 1. Oral region – Saliva is secreted from the parotid, mandibular, and sublingual glands. α-Amylase in saliva initiates carbohydrate digestion. 2. Esophageal region – Extends from the pharynx to the esophageal portion of the stomach. 3. Gastric region – Dvided into the esophageal region, the cardiac region, and the fundic (proper gastric) region. The cardiac region elaborates mucus, proteases, and lipase. The action of α-amylase stops in the fundus, when the pH drops below 3.6. 4. Pancreatic region – The endocrine portion secretes insulin and glucagon (and other peptide whereas the jejunum (88-91%) and ileum (4-5%) form hormones) from the islets of the lower intestine. Pancreatic α-amylase, lipase, and Langerhans. The exocrine portion proteases are mixed with chyme from the stomach.

James University of Kansas Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, Dyche Hall, 1345 Jayhawk Drive, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA Received 20 May 2003; accepted 20 April 2004 Abstract Fourteen species new to science are described from material collected at several sites in the Blue Mountains and the John Crow Mountains of eastern Jamaica, doubling the known endemic Jamaican earthworm fauna. New data on Dichogaster montecyanensis (Sims) are provided. All species are placed in the genus Dichogaster Beddard, which is here treated sensu lato, i.e. including Eutrigaster Cognetti. Eight of the new species have lost the posterior pair of prostates and the seminal grooves of the male field. These are D. bromeliocola, D. crossleyi, D. davidi, D. garciai, D. harperi, D. haruvi, D. hendrixi, and D. johnsoni. D. sydneyi n. sp. has independently lost the posterior prostates but not the seminal grooves. The new species D. altissima and D. manleyi have the conventional dichogastrine prostatic battery and male field characteristics. Three species described here, D. farri, D. garrawayi, and D. marleyi, all have a third pair of prostates in the 20th segment, no seminal grooves, dorsal paired intestinal caeca in segment lxv, and lack penial setae. r 2004 Elsevier GmbH.

  • Crop Problems
    Text and photos: Monique de Vrijer Translation: Diana Hedrick CROP PROBLEMS The crop serves as a temporary ‘storage bin’ for the feed the chicken eats. It is often full during and at the end of the day and should normally be empty when the bird starts its day in the morning. Unfortunately ‘crop prob- lems’ are not an uncommon occurrence and presents as symptomatic with many dif- ferent illnesses and condi- tions. The Crop The crop is part of the digestive system and is an enlarged part of the esophagus at the foot of the neck where feed is (temporarily) stored and "moistened" with mucous and saliva from the mouth until the contents are moved into the stomach. A chicken has two stomachs, the proventriculus (the glandular stomach) and the gizzard or ventriculus (also called the muscular stomach). The feed is transported from the crop into the the glandular stomach which, as the name implies, is where secretory enzymes are added to the feed mass to aid in digestion; one of which is pepsin which in turn activates the stomach to produce hydrochloric (stomach) acid lowering the PH to aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients and also helps to dissolve the calcium grit (usually oyster shell) releasing the calcium in it. These enzyme-filled gastric juices infuse the feed as it moves onwards towards the gizzard (ventriculus or muscular stomach). The gizzard is a small organ and not able to deal with large quantities of feed. It is composed of two oval shaped and thick walled powerful muscles with a tough horny lining.
