The rumen, also known as a paunch, is the largest stomach compartment in ruminants. [1] The rumen and the reticulum make up the reticulorumen in ruminant animals. [2]The diverse microbial communities in the rumen allows it to serve as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed, which is often fiber-rich roughage typically indigestible by mammalian digestive systems.
A cannula in a cow's side. A cannulated cow or fistulated cow refers to a cow that has been surgically fitted with a cannula. [1] A cannula acts as a porthole-like device that allows access to the rumen of a cow, to perform research and analysis of the digestive system and to allow veterinarians to transplant rumen contents from one cow to another.
Ruminal tympany, also known as ruminal bloat, is a disease of ruminant animals, characterized by an excessive volume of gas in the rumen. Ruminal tympany may be primary, known as frothy bloat, or secondary, known as free-gas bloat. [1] In the rumen, food eaten by the ruminant is fermented by microbes.
There are two common methods of repairing a displaced abomasum: Surgery – A much more invasive, costly and in many cases not necessary method in which the veterinarian will open up the cow's abdomen to investigate the problem where they will reposition the abomasum and put stitches in place to hold the abomasum in the desired location to ...
[2] [3] [4] Using logarithmic tables, he calculated the first digits of the smallest solution, showing that it is about 7.76 × 10 206 544 cattle, far more than could fit in the observable universe. [5] The decimal form is too long for humans to calculate exactly, but multiple-precision arithmetic packages on computers can write it out explicitly.
A rancher or dairy farmer feeds a magnet to each calf at branding; the magnet settles in the rumen or reticulum and remains there for the life of the animal. Some magnets have a loop that fits under the cow's tongue so that they can be retrieved. [citation needed] The magnet is administered after fasting the cow for 18–24 hours. This is most ...
Diagram of rotational grazing, showing the use of paddocks, each providing food and water for the livestock for a chosen period In agriculture , rotational grazing , as opposed to continuous grazing , describes many systems of pasturing, whereby livestock are moved to portions of the pasture , called paddocks , while the other portions rest.

Cow-rumen RNA motifs refer to conserved RNA structures discovered by bioinformatics that are found exclusively in metagenomics DNA samples isolated from cow rumen. Thus, the organisms containing these RNAs have not yet been determined. Organisms that are common in rumen have been studied. The cow-rumen-1 to -4 [1] motifs likely function in ...
