Modern Agriculture
XIII. How Animals Grow
By C. V. GREGORY,
Agricultural Division. lotva State College
Copyright. 1000, by American Press Association
ANIMALS, uiillko plants, can ob
a tain nono of their food from tho
jjL soil, nlr or wntcr, but tmtst bnvo
It prepared for them. Without
plants there could be 110 nulmnt life,
since animals nre dependent upon
them, either directly or Indirectly, for
food. A study of the way nnlmals
mnlvo use of this food In building tip
their bodies will help us to better un
derstand tho principles of feeding.
There nro three main constituents of
feeds fats, enrbohjdrntes ami albumi
noids, or protein. The fats are mode
up of carbon, hydrogen and oygen.
The carbohydrates, of which March
and sugar aro familiar examples, aro
made up of tho mime clemenfif i'ut to
gether In different proportions. An
other of the caibohjdratos Is cellu
lose, or tho woody fiber of plantH. This
Is haul to digest, but some of It Is
ucd In animal growth. Albuminoids
contain not only carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen, but nitrogen also. In addition
to these three constituents of food it
also contains some mineral elements,
which aro commonly referred to as
ash.
This ash Is used In building up tho
bones, hair, horns and hoofs. Tho nl-

bumlnolds nlso form a considerable
portion of tliete parts of tho body.
Their chief use, however, Is In build
ing up tho muscles, tissues and vnrl
ous organs. Tho fats and carbohy
drates aro used to furnish energy and
heat. They arc tho fuel of the body.
Hy unltlngwlth oxygen they glvo off tho
heat and energy required to keep tho
body running, In much tho samo way
that the elements of coal or wood
unite with oxygen to furnish heat and
power when burned In a Hteam engine.
Not all of the fats and carbohydrates
nro burned Immediately, however.
Some of the fats go to build up fatty
tissues. Some of the carbohydrates
aro changed to fats and used In tho
same way, and some nre stored in tho
liver In the form of glycogen to bo
used when needed.
Before these vnrloUB food elements
can be used by the animal they must
go through a process called digestion.
Tho llrst step In digestion consists In
taking the food Into the mouth. Hach
class of aulmals has u different way
of doing this. Watch the cows feed
ing In the pusture. They reach out
their long tongues and gather In a
mouthful of grass, breaking It off with
a peculiar twist as It conies against
their lower teeth. They cannot blto It
off, since they have no upper teeth
in front. The horse gathers In tho
grass with his lips and bites it off be
tween his teeth. For this reason
horses can eat grabs down much closer
to the ground thun cuttle can.
After the food Is taken into the
mouth It Is chewed and mixed with
saliva. This sallvu bOrves two pur
posesto moisten the food and to
change some of the Btarch to Hiigar.
This change Is brought about by tho
action of enzymes which tho sullvu
contains. These work In tho samo
way us do the enzymes In a germi
nating seed, whl h prepare tho food
for tho little plant.
Sugar and Btarch, as we have learn
ed, nro both composed of carbon, hy
drogen and oxygen, tho only differ
ence being that they nro put together
In a little different way. The action
of tho enzymes changes the relation
of those elements in tho starch, ar
ranging them In such a manner as to
form sugar. (
All tho starch in tho food must ho
changed to borne form of sugar be
fore It can be used by tho animal In
building up the various parts of Its
body. Since tho food remains In tho
mouth only a comparatively short
lime, fcowevor, only a small part of the
btarch can bo acted upon tliero. Tho
rest Is changed Inter, as we shall tee.
The main purpose of the saliva Is to
moisten tho food. This moistening, to
gether w 1th the chewing, reduces It to
a moist, finely divided mass, ready
to be swallowed and ncted upon by
tho other digestive Juices.
While the essential processes of di
gestion nro tho samo for a. --!s,
the Avny In which the work Is carried
on varies somewhat. Tho horse and
tho hog have but one stomach. As
the food enters this n churning mo
tion begins, which gradually forces
the partially digested mass along to
ward the lower end. Tho saliva con
tinues to act on tho starch, and anoth
er fluid, tho gastric juice, Is poured
3rf --X
out from tho walls of the stomach.
Tho main duty of this gastric Juice Is
to change tho albuminoids Into a form
In which they can bo absorbed nnd
used by tho nutmal.
Cnttto and sheep havo n very largo
stomach, which Is divided Into four
parts. Animals of this kind nro called
ruminants. When tho food Is swallow
ed It passes Into the llrst stomach,
which serves tho purpose of n store
house. Hero tho action of tho saliva
continues, and tho water which tho
animal drinks softens tho food to n
considerable extent. After a tlnio tho
food pusses Into tho second stomach,
which forces It back to tho mouth, a
llttlo at a time. Hero It Is chewed
thoroughly. You have often Been
cows lying In tho shade "chowlng
their cud." This cud Is tho food that
has been sent up to tho mouth by tho
second stomach.
After being chewed tho food Is
swallowed again. This time it passes
directly through tho first stomach to
the third, Hero It becomes still fur
ther softened, finally passing Into tho
fourth or true stomach. Tho function
of tho first three compartments Is
simply to prepare the food to bo ncted
upon by tho true stomach.
After leaving the Btomnch the par
tially digested food passes Into tho
Binall Intestines. Here It Is acted
upon by three fluids the bile, pan
crcatlc Juice and Intestinal juice. Tho
chief uso of tho bllo is to digest tho
fats, making them Into n sort of a
soapy lluld, In which form they aro
ready to bo absorbed Into the blood.
Both the pancreatic nnd Intestinal
juices act upon the remaining starch,
completing the change Into sugar. Tho
pancreatic Julco nlso completes tho di
gestion of tho albuminoids, In which
work the Intestinal Julco mny nlso
tuko a small part. Another work of
the pancreatic jiileo Is to assist In
decomposing the fats. The IntestlnnI
julco breaks cane sugar up Into sim
pler sugars, such as glucose.
After tho food has been digested tho
usable portions aro ready to bo ab
sorbed Into the blood. Digestion tins
changed the fats, proteins and starches
Into a form In which they nro soluble.
In this fluid state they pass through
the walls of tho stomach and Intestines
and nre emptied into tho blood.
The blood Is taken to all parts of tho
body by tho arteries, which subdlvido
to form tiny capillaries. Thcso aro bo
small and close together that a pin
prick pn tho skin anywhere will plerco
some of them. There nre two main
parts to the blood tho fluid of plasma
nnd tho red corpuscles which glvo It
Its color,
Each part of the body selects from
tho blood the food materials which It
needs. Thus the bones will take ash,
whllo the muscles will tuko protein,
to build up their wornout parts. Tho
waste, broken down parts aro burned,
together with as much fats and sug
ars us are needed, to furnish heat nnd
energy. All through the body there
nre thousands of llttlo Arcs, To keep
theso llrcs going oxygen Is used, and
carbon dloxldo Is given off in tho samo
way that a flro In a stove takes in
oxygen through the lower draft nnd
Bends carbon dloxldo up the chimney.
In tho body the corpuscles supply
tho oxygen nnd curry away tho car
bon dioxide. The other waste ma
terials, or nshes, are gathered up by
a system of vessels called lymphntlcs,
which empty Into the veins. Theso
veins carry the blood back to tho
heart. Tho change of the contents of
tho corpuscles from oxygen to car
bon dloxldo chatiKes tho color of the
blood from a bright red to n much
darker shade.
From the right side of tho henrt, to
which the blood is brought by tho
FIO. XXVI 8l'W'r IlUK
veins, It Is sent to tho lungs, where
tho corpuscles exchange their carbon
dloxldo foi oxygen and aro leady for
auother trip through tho body.
Since oxygen plays such an impor
tant part In keeping up the fires that
supply tho body with heat and ener
gy, It Is Just us Imirortuut that tho
nnlmnls. bo well supplied with fresh
tlr as It Is that they have enough
food. In the winter especially tho
stables aro often closed so tightly In
tho attpmpt to keep them warm that
the air becomos very deficient In oxy
gen. In consequence the work of tho
body is delayed nnd the general
health buffers. By having ventilators
In the roof, together with plenty of
windows at such a height that the
draft will not blow directly upon the
nnlmals, fresh air can be admitted
and Impure nlr drawn off constantly.
