Question

Ruminants such as cows and buffaloes swallon their food hurriedly and then sit restfully and chew their food. Can you reason. Why
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Cattle are ruminant animals, this mean their stomach contains four compartments:

1.     Rumen

2.     Reticulum

3.    Omasum

4.    Abomasum

When a cow first takes food, it chews hurridly just enough to moisten the food. Once swallowed, the food goes the rumen, where it mixes with other acidic digestive liquids and is softened. The softened food is called cud, small balls of food.

Then the rumen muscles send the cud back up to the cow’s mouth, where it is re-chewed and swallowed again, and rechewed cud goes to the Omasum of stomach in order to take out all of the moisture.

Finally, the food enters the Abomasum of the stomach where it mixes with digestive juices and makes its way to the intestine to be completely digested.

Methanogenic bacteria are also present in digestive system of ruminants. They help in digestion of cellulose.
