Detailed explanation-1: -Absorption of ingested water and most solutes occurs in the proximal small intestine, therefore the rate at which beverages are emptied from the stomach is an important factor in determining the rate of water absorption.

Detailed explanation-2: -The function of the omasum is incompletely understood; however, the omasum plays an important role in the transport of appropriately sized feed particles from the reticulorumen to the abomasum, esophageal groove closure, fermentation of ingesta, and absorption of water, volatile fatty acids, and minerals.

Detailed explanation-3: -The omasum is a globe-shaped structure containing leaves of tissue (like pages in a book). It absorbs water and other substances from digestive contents. Feed material (ingesta) between the leaves will be drier than ingesta found in the other compartments.

Detailed explanation-4: -Small intestine. Your small intestine also absorbs water with other nutrients.
