What is a reticulum?

The reticulum is the second stomach of a bovine, found directly in front of the rumen, in line with the opening of the esophagus into the rumen. Another term for the reticulum is "hardware stomach." This is because this chamber is mainly used as a screening device and a storage area for foreign objects like wire, nails or even buttons that drop in as feed enters into the rumen. It has no other use in digesting feed unlike the rumen, omasum and abomuasum. Retractions of the rumen help not only digest and mix feed particles and liquid digesta, but also move foreign objects into the reticulum where they will not impede the rest of the digestion process from the rumen onward.
