Abstract

Ruminants have a unique digestive physiology that heavily relies on microbial fermentation specifically in the rumen. This review explores the complex mechanisms of starch digestion in ruminants and highlights its crucial role in shaping their nutritional landscape. The rumen, a complex microbial ecosystem, is the primary site for starch digestion. Enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial fermentation of starch in this compartment produce important byproducts, such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and microbial proteins. These byproducts are crucial sources of energy and protein, which affect the overall metabolic dynamics of ruminants. It is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence starch digestion rates to optimize ruminant nutrition. This review examines the various factors involved in starch digestion, including feed composition, microbial populations, and enzymatic activity, and how they contribute to the digestive process. Additionally, identifying and characterizing starch fractions in concentrated feed sources is crucial for formulating well-balanced rations. In conclusion, this review synthesizes current knowledge on starch digestion in ruminants, offering insights into the complexities of the process. The collected information not only contributes to our academic understanding but also has practical implications for optimizing feeding strategies, enhancing nutrient utilization, and promoting the overall well-being of ruminants.
反刍动物对淀粉的消化及其重要性
反刍动物具有独特的消化生理机能,主要依赖于瘤胃中的微生物发酵。这篇综述探讨了反刍动物消化淀粉的复杂机制,并强调了淀粉在塑造反刍动物营养状况方面的关键作用。瘤胃是一个复杂的微生物生态系统,是淀粉消化的主要场所。淀粉在瘤胃中的酶水解和微生物发酵会产生重要的副产品,如挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)和微生物蛋白质。这些副产品是能量和蛋白质的重要来源,影响着反刍动物的整体代谢动态。全面了解影响淀粉消化率的因素对优化反刍动物营养至关重要。本综述探讨了淀粉消化所涉及的各种因素,包括饲料成分、微生物种群和酶活性,以及它们如何促进消化过程。此外,确定和描述浓缩饲料来源中的淀粉组分对于配制均衡的日粮至关重要。总之,本综述综合了目前有关反刍动物淀粉消化的知识,为了解这一过程的复杂性提供了见解。所收集的信息不仅有助于我们的学术理解,而且对优化饲喂策略、提高营养利用率和促进反刍动物的整体健康具有实际意义。
