Question

Difference between a ruminants stomach and human stomach ?

Answer 1

The rumen and reticulum (reticulo-rumen) is the largest compartment of the cow’s stomach. Fiber, starch, sugar, and proteins are fermented by the microbes to form volatile fatty acids and microbial protein. Rumen papillae absorb volatile fatty acids. The omasum has many “leaves” of tissue that absorb water and serve as a filter. The abomasum is the true stomach where the cow’s own enzymes and acids break down ingested feed. Rumination is the process by which the cow regurgitates previously consumed feed and masticates it a second time.

stomach, saclike expansion of the digestive system, between the esophagus and the small intestine; it is located in the anterior portion of the abdominal cavity in most vertebrates. The stomach serves as a temporary receptacle for storage and mechanical distribution of food before it is passed into the intestine. In animals whose stomachs contain digestive glands, some of the chemical processes of digestion also occur in the stomach.
