Anatomy of Intestine in Domestic Animals
The intestine in domestic animals plays a vital role in digestion and absorption. It consists of the small intestine for chemical digestion and absorption and the large intestine for water absorption and excretion. This article covers the gross anatomy, histology, and embryology of the intestine, de

Protein Digestion and Metabolism in Ruminants and Non-Ruminants
Digestion and metabolism of protein in both ruminants and non-ruminants involve enzymatic breakdown of proteins into polypeptides and amino acids in the stomach and intestines. Key enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin play important roles in protein digestion. Gastric digestion in the s

Understanding Barium Meal Radiological Study
Barium meal is a radiological study of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum. It helps diagnose various conditions such as peptic ulcers, cancers, and gastrointestinal obstructions. The procedure involves oral administration of barium cont

Understanding Small Bowel Anatomy and Barium Meal Technique
Exploring the anatomy of the small bowel, including the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, as well as the technique of a barium meal follow-through. The small bowel is a convoluted tube extending from the pylorus to the ileocecal valve, averaging 6-7 meters in length. The duodenum, characterized by its C
