Best Answer

The stomach of a ruminant animal is divided into four chambers

1. Rumen

2. Reticulum

3. Omasum

4. Abomasum

The food first enters into rumen where fermentation takes place then food passes into reticulum ---> omasum and finally into abomasum from where the partially digested food enters into small intestine.

In rumen, many symbiotic bateria are present which are useful to ferment the food.
