Traits the researchers analysed were clinical mastitis, lameness, metritis, ketosis and displaced abomasum. |
Food taken into the rumen is later regurgitated into the mouth and completely masticated, then swallowed again and passed to the reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. |
These are called the paunch, the honeycomb stomach or bag, the manyplies and the abomasum. |
Metabolic problems in general, such as displaced abomasum, retained placenta or milk fever are also very rare. |
Most, however, have four, the leaf stomach or psalterium being intercalated between the retinaculum and the abomasum. |
This ensures that during suckling milk is channeled directly to the abomasum bypassing wasteful ruminal fermentation. |
