The ruminant stomach consists of four compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The rumen serves as a fermentation chamber where microbes break down fibrous plant material. The reticulum catches heavy particles and plays a role in the regurgitation of food for further chewing. The omasum absorbs water and nutrients, while the abomasum acts as the true stomach, where gastric juices digest proteins.
