Question

Briefly
explain the process of digestion in ruminants








long answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

firstly it goes into a part of stomach and then goes into one other part ther forms cod and goes back in the mouth

after the cow chews it again it goes into th stomach and is digested

this whole process because cellulose fibres are har to digest

Answer 2

​Rumination: ​Ruminants swallow the food without chewing. After feeding, they bring the

food from the stomach back into the mouth and chew it leisurely. This process is called

rumination and such animals are called ruminants.

Ruminant stomach: ​The stomach of a ruminant is divided into four chambers – the

rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. Rumen is the largest part of the stomach

Notes on - Nutrition in Animals - Grade 7

● Grass-eating animals swallow the food quickly and store it in the rumen.

● As rumen is full, the food is taken into the second part of the stomach, the

reticulum. Digestive juices of the reticulum partially digest the food. The partially

digested food in the reticulum is called cud.

● While resting, the cow brings back the cud into the mouth for regurgitation.

● Food is chewed completely and swallowed into omasum for further digestion.

● Then the food moves into abomasum for digestion brought about by digestive

juices.

● A large sac-like structure called the caecum lies between the small and large

intestines.

● The symbiotic bacteria present in the caecum help in complete digestion of

cellulose. Digestion of food is completed in the intestine.
