Detailed explanation-1: -The large intestine is the last section of the tract that undigested feedstuffs pass through. Microbes digest some undigested feed here, but the main digestive function of the large intestine is to absorb water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water absorption occurs in the omasum. Cattle have a highly developed, large omasum. The abomasum is the “true stomach” of a ruminant.
