Why is abomasum known as the true stomach of ruminants?
The abomasum is known as the true stomach of ruminants because it functions similarly to the stomachs of non-ruminant animals, where the digestion of food primarily occurs through enzymatic processes. Unlike the other compartments of the ruminant stomach (rumen, reticulum, and omasum), which primarily serve as fermentation chambers, the abomasum secretes gastric juices that break down proteins and facilitate nutrient absorption. This makes it the site where the digestive process closely resembles that of monogastric animals.
