Question

How many chambers are present in stomach of ruminants? Give their function.

Answer 1

Rumen

The rumen is the largest part of the cow's stomach, holding up to 50 gallons of partially digested food at any given time. It contains enzymes that start the digestion process, breaking down the hard food and cellulose. The food may spend 15 to 48 hours in and out of the rumen being chewed, swallowed, regurgitated and swallowed again and again before it moves on to the second part of the stomach, the reticulum.

Reticulum

The reticulum traps anything that the cow should not have eaten, such as pieces of fencing, rocks and pieces of wire. The reticulum also softens the grass that has been eaten and forms small wads of cud.

Omasum

The omasum has many folds to filter the food, squeeze out the water and further break down the cud.

Abomasum

The abomasum completes the digestion process. It passes essential nutrients to the bloodstream and sends the rest through the intestines.
