Question

What is the structure of stomach in ruminants ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The ruminant stomach is composed of 4 separate compartments. Food passes first into the rumen, then reticulum, omasum and finally into the abomasum before entering the duodenum.

Answer 2

Answer:

The ruminant stomach has four compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum, although the omasum is virtually absent in camels and llamas. The abomasum has a typical gastric secretory function and corresponds to the stomach in non-ruminants; in very young animals it is as large as the rumen.
