The large storage chamber in the stomach of a cow is called the rumen. It is the first and largest of the four compartments in a cow's stomach, serving as a fermentation vat where microbial digestion of fibrous plant material occurs. This process allows cows to break down tough plant cell walls, enabling them to extract nutrients efficiently. The rumen plays a crucial role in the overall digestive process of ruminants.

Do cows digest cellulose by using parasitic cellulose digesting bacteria?

Symbiotic, not parasitic. The cow has a 4 chamber stomach, one chamber called the rumen contains these bacteria. When the cow is chewing cud, she brings up partially digested grass, re-chews it, and swallows it again into a different chamber of the stomach.Without these symbiotic bacteria the cow could no live on grass, as the mammalian digestive system is unable to digest cellulose into glucose. The bacteria do this for the cow, while the cow gives them a safe place to live with plenty of food (much more than they need for their own use).


What is presented in cows obamasum?

There is no such thing as an "obamasum" in cows. There this, however, the abomasum which is the fourth stomach chamber in a cow's digestive tract. This particular stomach chamber is in fact the true stomach, and works and acts just like our own stomachs do in digesting food and producing enzymes and hydrochloric acid to break down food that hasn't already been broken down in the three forestomachs.
