|
reticulum |
-'honeycomb' structure -pouch for collection and separation -contains microorganisms -provides additional area for fermentation -as fermentation proceeds and feedstuffs digested, smaller and denser material pushed into reticulum = particle separation -people eat reticulum = tripe |
|
|
honeycomb structure |
-catches and holds hardware consumed by animal -'hardware disease' -hardware can be collected and removed by magnet in rumen |
|
|
omasum |
-'many plies' -a heavy, hard organ w/many folds in lining
|
|
|
function of omasum |
-not well understood -believed to produce grinding action on feeds -may absorb residual VFA's and bicarbonate |
|
|
abomasum |
-'true glandular stomach' -secretes acids and functions like monogastric stomach -secretes lysozyme -rennet (comes from lining and coagulates milk) used in cheese making |
|
|
lysozyme |
-enzyme that efficiently breaks down bacterial cell walls -needed to break down the large quantities of bacteria that pass from the rumen |
|
|
hind gut fermenter - large intestine |
-major difference between monogastrics and hund-gut fermenters -large intestine of hind-gut fermenters analogous to rumen -microbes digest structural carbs (cellulose, hemicellulose) and soluble carbs that escape digestion in small intestine to VFA's |
