Check out this video produced by the folks at Purina. It's a computer-generated horse model that shows how digestion works and how horse's absorb the macro-nutrients (fats, proteins, carbs, fiber) that we've talked about. This puts together the last two weeks of lecture and research that you've done! Okay...warning...the horse looks weird...and the bacteria in the cecum are pretty funny looking, but the video makes sense and is a great visual aid for what's going on in the horse (especially how things are broken down, and it shows clearly how the cecum and large intestine lay in large u-shaped loops in the horse's gut).
Enjoy!
