RE: THE SCIENCE BEHIND RUMINATION AND ERUCTATION

in #stemng • 6 years ago

Thanks for re-teaching me about rumination. I can't really say why I do forget the names and functions of the four compartments.
Now, you mentioned that cattle produce lots of methane gas, this could contribute to greenhouse gas effect and hence, global warming. How can this be mitigated?

    Rumen which houses the microbes, Reticulum also known as many piles, Omasum which helps in absorption of water and nutrients and lastly Abomasum which is the true stomach

    It is an involuntary action, as their rumen performs this role to ease movement of food down the digestive tract or for good rumination activities. It's just like we (humans) respire...
    But, anything that interferes with that process is life-threatening and that is what we should avoid.

    Thanks for such contribution
