How do goats get their nutrients?
Microbes and bacteria digest the cellulose and plant material that the goat eats in the rumen. The goat's digestive system then absorbs these by-products.
What is the functions of the rumen and reticulum?
The rumen, also known as a paunch, forms the larger part of the reticulorumen, which is the first chamber in the alimentary canal of ruminant animals. It serves as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed. The smaller part of the reticulorumen is the reticulum, which is fully continuous with the rumen, but differs from it with regard to the texture of its lining.
Is dried hard corn a good feed for a cow?
It is if it's processed enough that the microbes in the cow's rumen can break it down and digest it. It would be a waste of money to feed if it's fed whole/unprocessed and not much nutrient can be gleaned from it by either the microbes or the cow.
How do bacteria and archaea help cows?
Cows, like other ruminant animals, they have a special type of stomach called a rumen. This consists billions of microbes which can eat grass and hay. These bacteria, fungi and protists provide nutrients that the cow can digest. Without these microbes, the cow would die for not digesting its food.
What is another name for bacteria?

What is fermented fluid from a bovine animal?
It is the liquid that is obtained from the rumen that contains many, many microbes, water, acetic acid, butyric acid, propionic acid, fine feed particulates, ammonia, and other substances.
What are the four compartments of a ruminant stomach and what is their function?
The rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. Rumen and reticulum are responsible for microbial fermentation of carbohydrates, degradation of protein and non-protein nitrogen, and partial hydrogenation of unsaturated lipids from feedstuffs eaten by the ruminant. Fermentation in the rumen and reticulum enable break-down if cellulose, fibre, and lignin to digest VFAs and amino acids. Microbes comprising of protozoa and bacteria live in these chambers which help with the fermentation process. In the Omasum, the main function is the absorption of water and some nutrients from the digesta of the rumen. In the Abomasum, digesta is redigested, where amino acids and starches undergo further digestion.

What can you observe through a rumen fistula?
A rumen fistula is a surgically created entry to the rumen in the left flank of the ruminant, typically permanent and with a rubber or similar material device (a 'cannula') fitted to close it between times of use. It enables the rumen contents to be accessed, and the rumen wall to be viewed and biopsied. Surgically modified ruminants such as these are only found on research farms, where they are used to study rumen function. Looking in through the fistula, you can see the rumen contents and the rumen wall.
