Zoo
A zoo is a place where animals live in captivity and are put on display for people to view. The
word “zoo” is short for “zoological park.".

Gizzard: The gizzard, sometimes called the muscular stomach, lies between the proventriculus
and the upper limit of the small intestine. It has two pairs of very powerful muscles, the
surface of which is constantly being eroded and sloughed off. Since the gizzard usually
contains some abrasive material such as grit, rock, gravel, etc. the food particles are soon
grounded or reduced to small particles capable of being taken into the intestinal tract.

Clutch:
The eggs laid by a hen on consecutive days are referred as a clutch.

Spent Hen:
A hen which has completed/finished her laying life and sold for slaughter is known as spent
up/culled hen, some may also refer as Boiler hen.

Question: 6. Describe/discuss in detail. (1x5=5)

1. Discuss in brief the principles of pig , sheep and goat feeding management
Or Describe the Digestive system of chicken:

Mouth: The chicken has no lips, soft palate, cheeks or teeth but there are an upper and lower horny
mandible referred to as beak, to enclose the mouth. Long slit-like opening in the hard palate and
absence of soft palate makes it possible for the bird to drink. The dagger-like tongue has a very
rough surface at the back which helps to force the food into the esophagus. A chicken has fewer
taste buds than mammals but its ability to taste feed is relatively high.
Esophagus: The esophagus or the gullet is the tube through which the food passes on its route from the back
of the mouth (pharynx) to the proventriculus.
Crop: Just before the gullet enters the body cavity, it extends on one side into the pouch known as the crop,
which acts as a storage place for food. Little or no digestion takes place here.
Proventriculus: An enlargement of the gullet just prior to the connection with the gizzard is known as
proventriculus, sometimes called the glandular or true stomach. The gastric juice is produced here.
Because the food passes quickly through the proventriculus, there is little digestion of food
material

here, but secretions pass into the gizzard where the enzymatic actions take place.
Gizzard: The gizzard, sometimes called the muscular stomach, lies between the proventriculus
and the upper limit of the small intestine. It has two pairs of very powerful muscles, the
surface of which is constantly being eroded and sloughed off. Since the gizzard usually
contains some abrasive material such as grit, rock, gravel, etc. the food particles are soon
grounded or reduced to small particles capable of being taken into the intestinal tract.
Small intestine: The small intestine is about 62 inches (1.5 mt.) long in the adult chicken. The first
part forms a loop known as the duodenal loop. Pancreas is embedded in the loop that
secretes the pancreatic juice.
Caeca: Between the small and large intestine, two blind pouches are situated which are known as the
caeca. Each caecum is about 6 inches (15 cms.) long in the normal healthy adult bird, and
soft feed material passes in and out. The exact function of the caeca is not known.
Large intestine: The large intestine is a relatively short rectum in the chicken being only 4 inches (10
cm.) long in the adult bird and about twice the diameter of the small intestine. The large
intestine is a place for water reabsorption to increase the water content of the body cells
and maintain the water balance in the bird.
Cloaca: The bulbous area at the end of the alimentary tract is known as the cloaca. Cloaca means
“Common
sewer” and into the cloaca, digestive, urinary and reproductive canals are opening.
Vent: The vent (anus) is the external opening of the cloaca. Its size varies greatly in the female,
depending on whether or not, she is producing eggs.
Supplementary digestive organs: Certain organs are closely associated with digestion because their
secretions empty into the intestinal tract and helps in the processing of food material.
Pancreas: The pancreas lies within the duodenal loop of the small intestine. It’s a gland that secretes
pancreatic juice that is then passed into the duodenum by the way of the pancreatic duct,
where its five powerful enzymes aid in the digestion of starches, fats and proteins. The
pancreatic juice neutralizes the acid condition of the proventriculus.
Liver: The liver is composed of two large lobes. Its main function is the secretion of the bile, which
helps in digestion, particularly of the fats.
Gall bladder: The chicken has a gall bladder but some birds do not. Two bile ducts transfer the bile
from the liver to the intestines. The right duct is enlarged to form the gall bladder, through
which most of the bile passes and is temporarily stored there in the Gall bladder. The left
duct does not enlarge.
