Is 1 out of 4 cow stomachs for the calf?

Nope!! NONE of the stomachs are for a calf to grow in! The calf is conceived and grows in the UTERUS or WOMB of the cow, not her stomach! A cow's stomach is for digesting the food she eats, not for growing a calf in.

What is the 1 stomach of a cow and what does it do?

Cows have one stomach with four chambers. Each of those chambers are called the reticulum, the rumen, the omasum and the abomasum. All four of these chambers, by working together, are responsible for the break-down and digestion of feedstuffs that the cow eats so that nutrients and minerals can be absorbed to be used by that cow's bodily systems.


Everything about COWS?

When Cows are younger they are called a Calf, when they get older they are called a heifer, and they are only considered a cow after they have had a calf and producing milk. A bull is not a cow. The difference between a bull and a steer is that a steer has had its testicles removed so it cant produce anymore. There is a common mis-conception about there stomach. They have been told to be having 4 stomachs but it is 1 stomach with 3 compartments. The Rumen, Omasum, Reticulum, and the Abamasom.

How many stomachs does a cow have which contain 4 compartments?

The basic answer that most people look for from this question is that cattle, a cow, or any other bovine such as a bull, a steer, a heifer, or even a bison or buffalo has FOUR stomachs. However, physiologically speaking, cattle donot have four stomachs; they have four digestive compartmentsinterconnected as a single stomach.The four digestive compartments in order are:Reticulum (the hardware stomach, where foreign objects collect that cannot pass through the digestive system; this compartment is also responsible for further breakdown processes from the rumen, and is the compartment where partly digested feed is collected to be regurgitated as cud.)Rumen (where bacteria and protozoa break down cellulose, hemi-cellulose, lignin and fibre from plant material; this is where the process of fermentation takes place)Omasum (absorbs water and digestible nutrients)Abomasum (which would be the true stomach, as it is in humans)One thing that should be noted is that because the abomasum is considered to be the true stomach (and the only functional stomach compartment when a calf, a newborn bovine, is born), the other three compartments are simply an extension of the esophagus. Thus the primary reason that a bovine only has one stomach and not four. The definition of a stomach is that it is an organ which secretes enzymes, acids and other digestive compounds which enable the ability to break down food to mere molecules. Since a cow does not have four of these types of stomachs, it is safe to say that, physiologically, a cow or any other ruminant only has one stomach with four compartments.


What is a cow magnet?

A cow magnet is a large magnetic pill (2 1/2" long x 1" thick) that is put into a cow's stomach (specifically the reticulum). It collects any screws, bolts, nails or wire or anything else the cow may pick up along with the feed she eats. Magnets prevent what is called "hardwire disease," which is a malady that occurs when a foreign object punctures the stomach wall (primarily the reticulum), and bacteria enter from either outside or inside the cow's stomach causing infection, weight loss, and loss of appetite. The magnet keeps all of the hardware together in one spot when the reticulum contracts as the animal eats.
