Animal Quiz #3

False

(T/F) See through gates are very good for cattle handling and transportation facilities because they allow cattle to see their human handlers and move forward faster for easy processing & loading.

True

(T/F) The large amount of saliva secreted by ruminants helps buffer and thus maintains the desired pH level in the rumen.

True

(T/F) Young ruminants such as one week old calves are often referred to as functional monogastrics.
