  Monogastric - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
A monogastric organism has a simple single chambered stomach, and is the alternate gastric complex to a four-chambered complex stomach known as a ruminant.
Starting with the mouth where food enters and is first broken down by mastication, moistening and lubrication of food prior to swallowing by saliva.
Carnivorous, herbivorous, and omnivorous diets are common in monogastric animals, while ruminant animals are usually herbivorous.

 Feed for monogastric animals - Patent 3984572
A method of culturing monogastric animals which comprises feeding the animals a feed in which part of the protein is supplied by a urea-isobutyraldehyde condensate.
A method for culturing monogastric animals which have an evolved caecum selected from the group consisting of fowl, pigs, rabbits and horses which comprises feeding said animals a feed containing protein in which part of the protein is furnished by adding to said feed a urea-isobutyraldehyde condensate.
Since monogastric animals have a different digestive mechanism from ruminant animals, one of ordinary skill would not have considered that isobutylidene diurea might be effective as a feed for monogastric animals.

 Livestock and the Environment
The evolution of the ruminant versus monogastric livestock biomass in Asia according to ecozones is substantiated in Figure 2.
However, some caution is required when interpreting this trend because the progressive aggregation of monogastric livestock in humid and moist subhumid areas in Asia is not universal, and appears not so much influenced by the climatic conditions in which the animals are kept but, rather, by human preferences or anthropogenic factors.
The relative increase in the numbers of monogastric animals in Asia is closely associated with the areas of highest human population pressures.

  Dyadic: Animal Feed
This is especially important for young monogastric animals whose digestive tracts have not fully matured.
It is the energy that monogastric animals are unable to use.
By removing the NSP, the starch and protein molecules that have been masked by the cereal’s cell structure are free to be utilized by the animal, leading to more efficient energy and protein utilization.

 Exercise21: Ruminant Digestive System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
The word "ruminant" comes from the Latin ruminare, to think; and as wildly laughable as the idea of a cow "thinking" may be, nevertheless, the contemplative and placid expression on a cow's face as she "chews her cud" does sort of give the impression that she's dealing with serious world problems.
In monogastric animals, the stomach's functions are limited to temporary storage and preliminary mastication of the food into a liquid mass; little or no absorption of nutrients takes place.

The present studies have demonstrated that there is considerable variation in the chemical composition among leaves of different cassava varieties (Table 1), which is in agreement with earlier reports (Ravindran 1990; Eggum 1970).
The contents of threonine in cassava leaves were quite acceptable compared with the ideal amino acid pattern for pigs, while the concentration of methionine and cystine, would be limiting (NRC 1998).
The amino acid composition of cassava leaves is therefore of great importance when they are used as protein sources for monogastric animal species.

 Agriculture and the Environment - Potential For Reducing GHG Emissions From Domestic Monogastric Animals
However, for swine and other monogastric domestic animals, the reduction of protein ingestion has been identified as a very cost-effective method of reducing nitrogen excretion and therefore, the emissions of nitrous oxide from land-applied manure.
In fact, it is possible to reduce significantly the total amount of nitrogen excreted by pig by modifying the composition of diets.
If all or part of these techniques are implemented in the farm, it is possible in many cases to reduce the total nitrogen excretion by pigs by more than 50%.

 Biosafety
In the monogastric digestive system, microbial fermentation occurs in the caecum and large intestine of the animal, towards the hind-end of the system.
Absorption of fluoroacetate occurs relatively early in the tract (stomach or small intestine), and the toxin is absorbed before it reaches the intestinal tract microbes (Diagram).
Whether microbes in the monogastric hind-gut could reduce the toxicity of fluoroacetate.

A chemical complex (large molecule) substance [inositol hexaphosphate] that is the dominant (i.e., 60% to 80%) chemical form of phosphorus present within cereal grains, oilseeds, and their byproducts.
Monogastric animals (e.g., swine, poultry) cannot digest and utilize the phosphorous within phytate, because they lack the enzyme known as phytase in their digestive system; so that phosphorus (phytate) is excreted into the environment.
When phytase enzyme is present in the ration of a monogastric animal, at a high enough level, the monogastric animal is then able to digest the phytate (thereby "releasing" most of that phosphorus for absorption by the body of the animal).

The exercises will deal with calculation of digestibility/nutritive balance studies with monogastrics (roosters, mink or pigs), calculations on energy and protein value of compound feeds and feedstuffs for monogastrics, and optimising of diets for monogastrics.
Students should have a detailed understanding of the digestion and intermediary metabolism of energy and nutrients in monogastric animals, as well as the theoretical basis for energy and protein evaluation systems for monogastric animals (pigs, poultry, fur animals).
When appropriate due to ongoing experiments, demonstration of digestion/nutritive balance studies in monogastric animals (roosters, minks or pigs) may be performed.

 Cassava foliage for monogastric animals
The study was aiming to evaluate cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) managed as a forage crop with respect to biomass yield, and to determine its value as a feed for monogastric animals.
Two common cassava varieties, one short- (ST) and one long-term (LT), grown in Cambodia, were studied with the aim of assessing forage yield, and effects on soil fertility and the utilization of the leaves as a feed for pigs and poultry.
It is concluded that both ST and LT cassava varieties have the potential to produce high protein forage for monogastric animals.

 Feeding Mangement for Horse Owners
The digestive anatomy of the horse is classified as a monogastric (simple stomach) animal with extensive post-gastric fermentation of undigested feed residue.
Pigs are an example of a monogastric animal that does not have extensive hindgut fermentation capabilities, while ruminants (cattle and sheep) have extensive fermentation in the rumen prior to gastric digestion.
Horses are monogastrics but can use forages effectively due to the presence of the microbial population in the hindgut.

 QUALISOY
Through the data achieved through monogastric animal research, there could be some applications regarding soy consumption among humans (also monogastric).
Soybeans, like most legumes contain anti-nutritional factors such as lectins, tannins and saponins, which are antagonists to healthy digestion in monogastrics, such as pigs, chickens and turkeys, but also in fish.
Monogastric species, such as hogs and poultry will benefit the most from improved soybean characteristics as their systems are more affected by the anti-nutritional characteristics that are present in soybeans.

Monogastric animals are the most efficient transformers of raw ingredients, rich in starches/sugars and proteins, into meat and eggs.
However, the usual feeding techniques of monogastric animals require the utilization of cereals and costly protein meals as the basis of the diet.
Therefore an effort to use locally produced byproducts through monogastric species has to be considered as a major priority, even at the expense of lower rates of individual animal productivity.
