What are the 4 compartments of the Ruminant System and their functions?
The four compartments of the ruminant stomach are, oral to aboral, the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum and the abomasum. The rumen's function is to ferment the vegetation. The reticulum is the storage place for non-food items that were ingested (nails, wires, bolts, etc.). The omasum removes most of the water that was incorporated into the ingesta in the rumen. The abomasum is the glandular compartment that secretes acid and begins to digest the proteins in the ingesta.
What can you observe through a rumen fistula?
A rumen fistula is a surgically created entry to the rumen in the left flank of the ruminant, typically permanent and with a rubber or similar material device (a 'cannula') fitted to close it between times of use. It enables the rumen contents to be accessed, and the rumen wall to be viewed and biopsied. Surgically modified ruminants such as these are only found on research farms, where they are used to study rumen function. Looking in through the fistula, you can see the rumen contents and the rumen wall.
