Answer:
Ruminant stomachs have four compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum and the abomasum. Rumen microbes ferment feed and produce volatile fatty acids, which is the cow's main energy source. Rumen microbes also produce B vitamins, vitamin K and amino acids.

Answer:
Ruminants have a specialized stomach.
Explanation:
1)They have cellulose digesting bacteria present in their stomach which is not there in human hence that is why we can't eat grass like cows
2)They have different chambers like the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum.
3)Ruminants partially digest food as they have to be away from predators and then they sit in a quiet place and bring food back to digest.
*refer to picture attached for chamber placement.
