Cattle have a braided stomach, wrinkled stomach, rumen, net stomach, wrinkled stomach can secrete gastric juice, equivalent to the stomach of monogastric animals, is the real stomach. The wrinkled stomach is more prone to ulcers, and the cause of the disease is mainly related to excessive acidity of the feed, auto-digestive disorders, or other reasons for long-term stimulation of the wrinkled stomach, and the disease can occur in both adult cows and calves. Anorexia, abdominal pain, black feces and digestive disorders are the main symptoms, and there may be perforation of the rumen stomach or hemorrhagic anemia.

First, cattle generally have four stomachs, what is the real stomach

1, cattle have four stomachs, each stomach has a name, only wrinkled stomach is the real stomach, there is secretion of gastric juice is the real stomach.

2, the cattle stomach consists of four parts, namely rumen (first stomach, also known as grass stomach), web stomach (second stomach, also known as the honeycomb stomach), flap stomach (third stomach, also known as the heavy stomach or hundred leaf stomach), wrinkled stomach (the fourth stomach, also known as the true stomach). The first, second and third stomachs are collectively known as the foregut, no gastric glands, can not secrete gastric juice; the fourth stomach can secrete gastric juice, equivalent to the stomach of monogastric animals.

3, wrinkled stomach is more prone to ulcers, the cause of its pathogenesis is mainly related to the feed acidity, auto-digestive disorders or other reasons for long-term stimulation of wrinkled stomach. Adult cows and calves can occur this disease, the symptoms are anorexia, abdominal pain, black feces and digestive dysfunction, etc., and in severe cases there will be a perforation of the wrinkled stomach or hemorrhagic anemia.

Two, cattle four stomachs have what function

1, wrinkled stomach, also known as the true stomach, accounted for eight percent of the total volume of four stomachs, the role of its stomach and monogastric animals with the same role in the stomach, can be secretion of digestive juices and digestive enzymes, digested in the rumen in the undigested feed and with the rumen with rumen food into the rumen microorganisms.

2. The rumen accounts for 80% of the total volume of the four stomachs, with a large number of microorganisms growing and reproducing inside, and a large part of the feed is digested here.

3. The mesh stomach accounts for 5% of the total volume of the four stomachs and functions as a sieve, retaining heavy objects such as nails and wires that are eaten with the feed.

4, braided stomach accounted for 7% of the total volume of the four stomachs, mainly absorbing water within the feed, extrusion and grinding feed.
