The rumen, part of a ruminant's stomach, feels like a large, muscular sac filled with a semi-liquid mixture of partially digested food and microbes. Its walls are thick and elastic, allowing it to expand as it fills with forage. The texture is often described as spongy or soft, with a warm temperature due to fermentation processes occurring inside. When palpating, it may feel somewhat distended or gassy, depending on the animal's diet and digestive status.

Meat pigs, like all pigs, do not have a rumen as they are monogastric animals. Ruminants, such as cows and sheep, have a specialized stomach with a rumen, which is used for fermenting plant material.
