Introduction:

By definition, Animal science is the study of animals that live alongside humans.
Around the world, humans rely on animals for food, fiber, labor and companionship. In
addition, animal science is concerned with aspects of companion animals, including
their nutrition, care, and welfare.
In this activity, particularly knowing and familiarizing different internal and
external body parts of farm animals which are found in our community or owned by our
family I am thrilled and excitement embraced me. It is because for several reasons, first,
we have some farm animals that my family owned and at the same time I am away in
our farm that’s why I couldn’t perform the activity in time. But I have many reasons to
be thankful that even in a very short period of time to comply all the given activities I
tried my best and effort.
Also this activity help me to appreciate my craft in taking photos and at the same
time knowing different body part and familiarizing some functions of those body parts
–internal and external.

Objectives:

The objective of this activity is to know and familiarized different part s of

internal and external farm animals, particularly the following:

1. Differentiate body parts of poultry and livestock farm animals,

2. Know the functions of different body parts –internal and external parts, and
3. Have a basic knowledge in the internal and external body parts of farm
animals.

External Parts of Chicken

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of
the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Chickens are one of the most common and widespread
domestic animals, with a total population of 23.7 billion as of 2018.

Body Parts Functions Picture
Comb A comb is a fleshy growth or crest on the top of
the head of gallinaceous birds, such as turkeys,
pheasants, and domestic chickens. ...
The comb may be a reliable indicator of health
or vigor and is used for mate-assessment in
some poultry species.

COMB

Eyes A chicken's eyes are about 10% the entire

mass of its head. Chickens can see 300
degrees around because their eyes are in the
sides of their heads. Chickens are
tetrachromatic. They have 4 types of cones that
let them see red, blue, and green light, as well
as ultraviolet light.

EYES

Beak A chicken uses its beak to tear off grass, open

seeds and otherwise break foods into
manageable pieces. Roosters use their beaks to
maintain hold on a hen while mating. Males as
well as females rely on their beaks to help
establish the pecking order of their flock

BEAK
Thigh The most meaty part of the chicken legs. The
thigh of a chicken is the upper part of the leg
attached to the body of the bird. The thigh ends
at the lower leg (drumstick).

THIGH

Shank Shank (foot) at the hock joint, which is the

equivalent of the ankle in humans.

SHANK

Claw curved pointed horny nail on each digit of the

foot in the chicken

CLAW

Ear Chickens have ears which are used for hearing

and balance

EAR

Tail The tails are part of their showiness and help

the jungle fowl dip and dance to entice hens to
become part of his group. Though this may be
seen less in domesticated roosters, their genes
still give them the tails and other feathers
necessary to impress their potential mates.
TAIL
Hackles Hackles are actually differently shaped in hens
and roosters. Rooster hackles are longer and
pointier. chicken-rooster and hen-
hackle feathers.

HACKLE

Wings While chickens can flutter their wings and use

them to roost high in trees and rafters, they are
basically flightless birds. Wing Shoulder.
The wing shoulder is where the chicken's
wing connects to the chicken's body.

WINGS

Spur In birds and mammals, their function appears to

be for fighting, defense and territory marking,
rather than for predation. In reptiles, spurs are
usually only found in the males and are used as
holdfasts or to stimulate the female during
copulation.
SPUR

Wattle Wattles are two elongated, fleshy, thin

lobes of skin that hang down from the lower
side of a chicken's head. Both male and
female chickens have wattles, which help
them to stay cool during warmer weather.

WATTLE

Swine –any of various stout-bodied short-legged omnivorous artiodactyl mammals (family

Suidae) with a thick bristly skin and a long flexible snout especially : a domesticated one descended
from the wild boar

Snout Pig’s nose

Snout

Knee The joint area on the on the front leg

that bends the hoof backs towards the
belly

Knee

Hoof There are four hooves, consisting of the

fleshy digits with hard nails on each
foot. If your pig does not wear these
down naturally, you must trim them
occasionally to keep him walking in the
foot.

Hoof
Dewclaw Two little toes behind each hoof. These
help hold up the pastern and should be
trimmed if they over grow.

Belly

Belly

Flank The area on the sides of pig between the

hips and the ribs.

Flank

Stifle The true “knee” joint on the back leg of

a four-legged animal.

Stifle

Hock The ankle part of the of the foot that

bends to the hoof forward towards the
belly

Hock
 Tail The last part of the pig. It is straight or
cylindrical with the flat end as opposed
to the curled tail of a farm pig. They
twirl and wag it to show emotions.
Hidden beneath the tail is where a
female’s vulva located.

Tail
Rump The hind part or butt where the body
and legs join.

Rump

Back The area between the shoulders and the

rump which is slightly swayed or
concaved.
Back

Shoulders The area on both sides of the pig from

the top of the spine to the top of the
legs.
Shoulder

Neck The fleshy area behind the ears to the

shoulders, where most injections are
given to pigs.

Parts Functions Images

Mouth It all starts here.

Pre-crop Transports food from the

Esophagus mouth to the stomach.

Crop A pouch in the esophagus

used to store food
temporarily before moving
it on to the stomach.

Heart The heart is the muscular

organ that pumps blood
through the body of the
bird.
Proventiculus Principally the organ
Gizzard where food is broken into
smaller units. It has two
parts: the proventriculus
for storage and the gizzard.
The gizzard is a muscular
part of the stomach that
uses grit to grind grains
and fiber into smaller
particles.
Pancreas Produce pancreatic juice
which is a mixture of
digestive enzymes. Produce
the hormones insulin and
glucagon that are involved
in the metabolism of
carbohydrate.

Liver The largest glandular

organ in the body. Aids in
the metabolism of
carbohydrates, fats and
proteins.

Small Intestine Aids in digestion and

nutrient absorption.
Composed of the
duodenum, jejunum and
ileum.
 Ceca Bacterial action in
the ceca helps break down
undigested food passing
through the intestine. The
ceca turns into the large
intestine, which connects
with the cloaca.

Large Intestine Functions primarily to

absorb water, dry out
indigestible foods and
eliminate waste products.

Vent The external opening of the

cloaca that passes waste to
the outside.
