This reflex is very important in newborn lambs to ensure that antibodies in the colostrum are transported intact to the abomasum. |
These are called the paunch, the honeycomb stomach or bag, the manyplies and the abomasum. |
These organisms are ultimately digested in the abomasum and small intestine, thus providing the ruminant with protein. |
Traits the researchers analysed were clinical mastitis, lameness, metritis, ketosis and displaced abomasum. |
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. |
This ensures that during suckling milk is channeled directly to the abomasum bypassing wasteful ruminal fermentation. |
