In a shallow bath of a hearty brown sauce of ground nuts and red oil sat part of one of the four chambers of a cow's stomach, the rumen, or omasum, or perhaps the abomasum. |
An excess of energy in the rumen can lead to acidosis, lameness, displaced abomasum and variable intakes. |
The abomasum, known as the true stomach, normally lies on the floor of the abdomen, but can become filled with gas and rise to the top of the abdomen and become displaced. |
Traits the researchers analysed were clinical mastitis, lameness, metritis, ketosis and displaced abomasum. |
Most, however, have four, the leaf stomach or psalterium being intercalated between the retinaculum and the abomasum. |
These are called the paunch, the honeycomb stomach or bag, the manyplies and the abomasum. |
