Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cows technically only have one stomach, but it has four distinct compartments made up of Rumen, Reticulum, Omasum and Abomasum. It is very different than a human stomach. That’s why people often say that cows have four stomachs.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the third compartment, the omasum, food is further broken down and filtered. All the water is also absorbed out of the food in the omasum. Finally, the food reaches the fourth and final compartment, the abomasum, which is sometimes called the “true stomach” because it most closely resembles the human stomach.
