Fat Digestion and Metabolism in Ruminants and Non-Ruminants
This article highlights the digestion and metabolism of fat in both ruminant and non-ruminant species. It explains the differences in lipid digestion in the stomach and small intestine of animals, focusing on the role of lipase, bile, and colipase in the breakdown of triglycerides. The process of micelle formation and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins is also discussed, along with the unique aspects of fat digestion in ruminants.

DIGESTION & METABOLISM OF FAT IN DIGESTION & METABOLISM OF FAT IN RUMINANTS RUMINANTS AND NON AND NON- -RUMINANTS RUMINANTS Dr. Kaushalendra Kumar Assistant Professor (Animal Nutrition), Bihar Veterinary College, BASU, Patna, India E-mail: drkaushalbvc@gmail.com
Digestion and absorption of fat in non Digestion and absorption of fat in non- -ruminant and ruminant and ruminant species ruminant species Digestion Digestion before before the the small small intestine intestine Substantial Substantial lipolysis lipolysis can can happen happen in in the the stomach stomach of of suckling suckling animals, animals, both both non non- -ruminants ruminants and and ruminants ruminants. . Main Main site site of of secretion secretion of of lipase lipase seems seems to to be be in in the the lingual lingual and and pharyngeal pharyngeal regions regions. . In In adult adult ruminants, ruminants, microbial microbial fermentation fermentation and and lipids lipids undergo undergo hydrolysis, hydrolysis, followed followed by by hydrogenation hydrogenation Major Major difference difference between between ruminant ruminant (form (form of of free free fatty fatty acid) acid) & & non non- - ruminant ruminant (esterified) (esterified) digestion digestion of of lipid lipid appears appears at at the the beginning beginning of of SI SI. .
