  2. Displaced abomasum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displaced_abomasum

    As cattle are ruminants, which have a 4 chambered stomach composed of a rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. Ruminants require this specialized digestive system in order to properly process and break down their high fiber and cellulose rich diets. As this type of digestive system is quite complex it is at a greater risk for incidence.

  3. Ruminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruminant

    This is the gastric compartment of the ruminant stomach. The abomasum is the direct equivalent of the monogastric stomach, and digesta is digested here in much the same way. This compartment releases acids and enzymes that further digest the material passing through. This is also where the ruminant digests the microbes produced in the rumen. [22]

  4. Abomasum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abomasum

    The ruminant digestive system. The abomasum, also known as the maw, [1] rennet-bag, [1] or reed tripe, [1] is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennet, which is used in cheese creation. The word abomasum (ab-"away from" + omasum "intestine of an ox") is from Neo-Latin and it was first used in English in 1706.

  5. Rumen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumen

    The rumen, also known as a paunch, is the largest stomach compartment in ruminants. [1] The rumen and the reticulum make up the reticulorumen in ruminant animals. [2]The diverse microbial communities in the rumen allows it to serve as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed, which is often fiber-rich roughage typically indigestible by mammalian digestive systems.

  6. White-tailed deer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_deer

    The white-tailed deer is a ruminant, which means it has a four-chambered stomach. Each chamber has a different and specific function that allows the deer to eat a variety of different foods, digesting it at a later time in a safe area of cover. The stomach hosts a complex set of microbes that change as the deer's diet changes through the seasons.

  7. Bovidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovidae

    Being ruminants, the stomach is composed of four chambers: the rumen (80%), the omasum, the reticulum, and the abomasum. The ciliates and bacteria of the rumen ferment the complex cellulose into simpler fatty acids , which are then absorbed through the rumen wall.

  8. Pseudoruminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoruminant

    Pseudoruminant is a classification of animals based on their digestive tract differing from the ruminants. Hippopotami and camels are ungulate mammals with a three-chambered stomach (ruminants have a four-chambered stomach) while equids (horses, asses, zebras) and rhinoceroses are monogastric herbivores. [1] [2]

  9. Reticulum (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulum_(anatomy)

    The reticulum is the second chamber in the four-chamber alimentary canal of a ruminant mammal. Anatomically it is the smaller portion of the reticulorumen along with the rumen. Together these two compartments make up 84% of the volume of the total stomach. The reticulum is colloquially referred to as the honeycomb, bonnet', [1] or kings-hood. [1]
