GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The abomasum, also known as the maw, rennet-bag, or reed tripe, is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennet, which is used in cheese creation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fourth and final compartment of the cow’s stomach is the abomasum. This is often referred to as the “true stomach.” It can hold about 7 gallons. This compartment functions much like a human stomach. This is where stomach acids and enzymes work to breakdown the feed before it moves into the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Quick facts. Ruminant stomachs have four compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum and the abomasum. Rumen microbes ferment feed and produce volatile fatty acids, which is the cow’s main energy source. Rumen microbes also produce B vitamins, vitamin K and amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -ABOMASUM: The final compartment of the stomach is the abomasum. This compartment is similar to our stomachs and has a low pH and enzymes to digest the proteins in the feed.
