Chapter 4

List the enzymes involved in carbohydrate digestion in monogastric animals.

What are the end products of carbohydrate digestion in monogastrics and in ruminants?

What are the major volatile fatty acids (VFAs) produced by rumen fermentation?

In ruminants fed concentrate-rich diets, the major VFA produced in the rumen is?

In ruminants fed roughage-rich diets, the major VFA produced in the rumen is?

Fill in the monosaccharides that compose each disaccharide listed below and the enzyme required to break the bond between them. $$ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Sugar } & \text { Enzyme } & \text { Monosaccharide } 1 & \text { Monosaccharide } 2 \\ \hline \text { Sucrose } & & & \\ \hline \text { Maltose } & & & \\ \hline \end{array} $$
