Document Summary
Only 3 separate chambers are known as the forestomach. 4)liver- pushed towards the right as it is displaced by the forestomach. 6)midgut: small and large intestine right side: esophagus runs into forestomach(rumen) In calf is very small b)reticulum is a separate pouch about 5% c)omasum- 8% d)abomasum- is the true stomach. Is significant until calf starts eating grass. And rumen is very small: ruminant stomach, 3 forestomachs : rumen, reticulum, omasum. Some food from esophagus enters the reticulum and some into the rumen. Maybe known as the ruminoreticulum as the functions are quiet similar but are histologically quiet different. Passes from the reticulum the omasum( a nonglandular outpouching of the rumen abomasums for acid digestion of food compounds that aren"t dealt with by the rumen. b)1 true stomach : abomasum. It is similar in form and function to monogastric stomach. Food goes through chambers in that order: rumen:
