About: Dental pad

An Entity of Type: work, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The dental pad or browsing pad is a feature of ruminant dental anatomy that results from a lack of upper incisors and helps them gather large quantities of grass and other plant matter. This feature can be found in ruminants such as cattle and sheep. In cattle, the tongue is used to grasp food and pinch it off between the dental pad and the lower incisors. However, since they cannot bite grass off, they are inefficient at grazing more closely than 6 inches (15 cm) from the ground. * v * t * e

  • Die Dentalplatte (lat. Pulvinus dentalis) ist ein zahnfreier, stark verhornter Bereich der Maulschleimhaut von Wiederkäuern. Sie ist im Oberkiefer anstelle der bei anderen Säugetieren vorhandenen Schneide- und Eckzähne angelegt. (de)

  • Le bourrelet gingival est un élément de l’anatomie buccale des ruminants qui supplée à l’absence d’incisives supérieures chez ces animaux et leur permet d’arracher des touffes d’herbes ou d'autres matières végétales. Les bovins utilisent leur langue pour saisir la nourriture et la pincer entre le bourrelet gingival et les incisives inférieures. Cependant, comme ils ne peuvent pas sectionner l’herbe avec des dents, leur pâturage est inefficace à moins de 15 cm du sol. (fr)
