The oesophagus in a sheep functions as a muscular tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach. It plays a crucial role in the digestive process by allowing the movement of ingested forage and other food materials through peristaltic contractions. In ruminants like sheep, the oesophagus also facilitates the process of rumination, enabling the regurgitation of food for further chewing and digestion.
