The rumen, also known as a paunch, is the largest stomach compartment in ruminants and the larger part of the reticulorumen, which is the first chamber in the alimentary canal of ruminant animals. [1] The rumen's microbial favoring environment allows it to serve as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed. [1]
An impala swallowing and then regurgitating food – a behaviour known as "chewing the cud". Hofmann and Stewart divided ruminants into three major categories based on their feed type and feeding habits: concentrate selectors, intermediate types, and grass/roughage eaters, with the assumption that feeding habits in ruminants cause morphological differences in their digestive systems, including ...
Gizzard. The gizzard, also referred to as the ventriculus, gastric mill, and gigerium, is an organ found in the digestive tract of some animals, including archosaurs ( birds and other dinosaurs, crocodiles, alligators, pterosaurs ), earthworms, some gastropods, some fish, and some crustaceans. This specialized stomach constructed of thick ...
A monogastric digestive system works as soon as the food enters the mouth. Saliva moistens the food and begins the digestive process. (Note that horses have no (or negligible amounts of) amylase in their saliva). After being swallowed, the food passes from the esophagus into the stomach, where stomach acid and enzymes help to
The ruminant digestive system. The abomasum, also known as the maw, [1] rennet-bag, [1] or reed tripe, [1] is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennet, which is used in cheese creation. The word abomasum ( ab- "away from" + omasum " intestine of an ox ") is from Neo-Latin and it was first used in English in 1706.
The ruminant digestive system. The omasum, also known as the bible, [1] the fardel, [1] the manyplies [1] and the psalterium, [1] is the third compartment of the stomach in ruminants. The omasum comes after the rumen and reticulum and before the abomasum. Different ruminants have different omasum structures and function based on the food that ...
Transfer the lamb to the oven and roast for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the lamb (not the filling) registers 130°. Transfer to a carving board. Let rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pour off the fat in the skillet. Add the stock and simmer over moderately high heat for 3 minutes.
Giardia duodenalis. Giardia duodenalis, also known as Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia, is a flagellated parasitic protozoan microorganism of the genus Giardia that colonizes the small intestine, causing a diarrheal condition known as giardiasis. [1] [2] [3] The parasite attaches to the intestinal epithelium by an adhesive disc or ...
