How do you insert a stomach tube in cattle?
You would have to go down through the mouth down through the esophagus into the rumen. Your local vet may have a pair of mouth gags for you to use so you don't have to struggle with the animal biting down on the tubing; with calves this mouth gag won't be necessary. You'll know if you've when down the wrong pipe if the cattlebeast starts hacking and coughing. If it's doing that, then bring the tubing up again and put it down again; if the animal is swallowing the tube (swallowing reflex will be going like crazy when your putting the tube down the esophagus), this is a good sign. When you think you have the tube down far enough (about 2 feet worth), start pouring down the liquids that you need the animal to consume. When you're done, pull the tube up very slowly so that you don't damage the esophageal membrane and other tissues in the cow's neck and mouth.

What happens to the muscles in the oesophagus as you swallow?
The esophagus when swallowing is like an undulating tube--it begins a constant, rhythmic movement downward. The movement is in segments, continually pushing food and fluid down.
