A common nickname for the rumen is the "fermentation chamber." This nickname highlights its primary function in the digestive process of ruminants, where microbial fermentation breaks down complex plant materials. The rumen is essential for converting fibrous feeds into usable nutrients for animals like cows and sheep.
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.
