In addition, called the small and large bowel, or colloquially the “guts,” they constitute the greatest mass and length of the alimentary canal and, with the exception of ingestion, perform all digestive system functions.

Absorption rates depend on dietary intake, with lower intake increasing efficiency and higher intake decreasing it. Active transport and passive diffusion facilitate absorption, the latter making up 90% of it. Factors like calcium and fiber can inhibit absorption, while vitamin D enhances it.

In young animals, the reticulum, rumen, and omasum are relatively underdeveloped, and exposure to feed, the barn, and other environments enables the growth and maturation of the foregut, and this process takes about six to nine months in large ruminants.

Before we go into the digestive details of the small intestine, it is important that you have a basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the following digestion accessory organs: pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.
