Yes goats do eat some weeds but the nutritional value of many weeds is very high. My studies of the nutritional value of thistles and blackberries (Table 1), for example, have shown that the nutritional value of these weeds can be as high or higher than the nutritional value of pasture.
The function of the umbilical vein is to deliver oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus. From the placenta, the umbilical vein courses through the liver via th â¦ e ductus venosus (fetal shunt), connecting then to the inferior vena cava. 11 people found this useful.
The umbilicus should be inspected for signs of bleeding, infection, granuloma, or abnormal communication with the intra-abdominal organs. A single umbilical artery is present in 0.2 to 1 percent of newborns 4 and may be associated with asymptomatic renal anomalies in 7 percent of these infants.
