Omasum - Wikipedia The omasum, also known as the green, [1] the fardel, [1] the manyplies[1] and the psalterium, [1] is the third compartment of the stomach in ruminants The omasum comes after the rumen and reticulum and before the abomasum
The ruminant digestive system 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
Omasum - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics The omasum is a compact spherical organ, comprising the omasal canal and omasal body Motility of the omasal canal is coordinated with that of the reticulorumen, whereas omasal body contractions occur independently of and at a slower rate than reticuloruminal contractions
Stomach – Ruminants (cattle, goats, sheep, cervids) The ruminant stomach is divided into the nonglandular forestomach (rumen, reticulum, omasum) and the terminal glandular stomach, the abomasum The distinct compartments of the ruminant forestomach warrant specific discussion here
Digestive Anatomy in Ruminants - Colorado State University The abomasum is the ruminant's true or glandular stomach Histologically, it is very similar to the stomach of monogastrics The interior of the rumen, reticulum and omasum is covered exclusively with stratified squamous epithelium similar to what is observed in the esophagus
Nutrition and Feeding: The Ruminant Digestive System The omasum is a spherical compartment located on the right side of the abdominal cavity connected to the reticulorumen by a short and narrow tunnel called reticulum-omasal orifice
Omasum - Anatomy Physiology - WikiVet English The omasum is the third chamber in the ruminant stomach It lies within the intrathoracic part of the abdomen so cannot be palpated manually Instead it is examined by ausculation The omasum has biphasic contractions which squeeze fluid out of the food before allowing the ingesta to continue into the abomasum
