What is a cows rumen?
A cow has one stomach, with four separate compartments. The rumen is the first compartment that all of the cows chewed food goes to. then the cow brings her "cud" (chewed food) back up to continue chewing it, until it is ready to be swallowed. then after swallowed it goes to the reticulum, which seperates all foreign objects out of the cows stomach,then it passes to the omasum where all nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream, then after that, the food travels to the last compartment, called the abdomasum. This compartment forms food into waste that will be excreted from the cow.

Do cows have 4 livers?
In a matter of speaking, yes, but technically, no. Cows have three forestomachs and one true stomach.

It can also be agreed upon, by common knowledge though, that cows have one main stomach with four compartments, thus the fourth compartment would be known as the abomasum.
