Angus Beef Tripe Rumen Stomach 安格斯牛草肚

Cattle possess a unique digestive system that includes four stomach chambers, each with a distinct function: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. These chambers play different roles in the digestion process, allowing cattle to efficiently break down fibrous foods like grass.

The rumen is the largest of the four chambers and primarily serves to store food and initiate fermentation. It contains a vast population of microorganisms, including bacteria, protozoa, and fungi, which help break down cellulose in the food. The rumen allows food to soak in water and breaks down large molecules like cellulose, releasing nutrients that can be absorbed by the cow.
