Rumen Rumen is the first part of the cattle’s stomach. The process of breaking down of complex foods grass or sophisticated plants is done here. The rumen appears similar to a vat as it aids storing of food and mixing. It provides constant temperature, pH and an anaerobic environment.
Reticulum The cud gets produced here when the cow’s saliva is combined with the food. Further, the cud burps up into the mouth and the cattle chew it down to break it into fine particles. You might have noticed cow continuously chewing on something similar to bubble gum then she is processing her cud.
Omasum Omasum occupies the space between reticulum and abomasums. The output of reticulum that enters omasum have water as a primary component. Say, about 90% to 95%. The functionality of the omasum is to remove the water content from the infeed and further digest it into the fine particles.
Abomasum Abomasum is the connective between small intestine and omasum. This is the place for acid digestion and it is similar to the human stomach. The walls of abomasum are folded to form ridges that secrete gastric juices containing some enzymes and hydrochloric acid.
