The abomasum, also known as the maw, [1] rennet-bag, [1] or reed tripe, [1] is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennet , which is used in cheese creation. The word abomasum ( ab- "away from" + omasum " intestine of an ox ") is from Neo-Latin and it was first used in English in 1706.
Displaced abomasum in cattle occurs when the abomasum, also known as the true stomach, which typically resides on the floor of the abdomen, fills with gas and rises to the top of the abdomen, where it is said to be ‘displaced’. When the abomasum moves from its normal position it prevents the natural passage of gas and feed through the ...
The digestive tract of ruminants contains four major parts: rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. The food with saliva first passes to the rumen for breaking into smaller particles and then moves to the reticulum, where the food is broken into further smaller particles. Any indigestible particles are sent back to the rumen for rechewing.

Laray — curried tripe dish popular in Afghanistan and in the northern region of Pakistan; eaten with naan/roti. Laray — a Pakistani dish from the Northern Area, consisting of fried cow tripe with traditional spices.
The enzyme lysozyme has adapted to facilitate digestion of bacteria in the ruminant abomasum. [32] Pancreatic ribonuclease also degrades bacterial RNA in the ruminant small intestine as a source of nitrogen. [33] During grazing, ruminants produce large amounts of saliva – estimates range from 100 to 150 litres of saliva per day for a cow. [34]
Animal rennet to be used in the manufacture of cheddar cheese. Rennet (/ ˈ r ɛ n ɪ t /) is a complex set of enzymes produced in the stomachs of ruminant mammals. Chymosin, its key component, is a protease enzyme that curdles the casein in milk.
Lampredotto (Italian: [lampreˈdɔtto]) is a typical Florentine dish, made from the fourth and final stomach of cattle, the abomasum. [1]Lampredotto is derived from the Italian word for lamprey eels, lampreda, as the tripe resembles a lamprey in shape and color.
An early version of the omasum is seen in early ruminants like duikers and muntjacs, where it is a little more than a strainer sieve which prevents un-chewed foods from entering the abomasum. [ 2 ] The smallest omasum belongs to ruminants that consume high quality diets like the moose and roe deer , while the largest belongs to those who are un ...
