Term
Cud-Chewing Ungulate Digestion
Definition
Chewed material is sent to the rumen where bacteria acts on cellulose. When rumen is full the material is sent to the reticulum where more more cellulose fermentation occurs. When both rumen and reticulum are full the material is regurgitated into the mouth to be macerated into pulp. This is  repeated until thoroughly mashed. The material is sent to the omasum for temporary storage. The mash is then sent to the abomasum, which is the main stomach with disgestive glands.
