Bovine digestion,X-ray artwork. The digestive system of the cow (Bos taurus) is shown in blue,from the oesophagus (left) through the stomachs (centre) to the instestines (right) to the anus (far right) and an example of a stool (lower right). The cow is an example of a ruminant,a mammal that digests plants by regurgitating it from the first stomach,a fore-stomach known as the rumen,and chewing it again. Two further fore-stomachs aid digestion,before the food is passed to the true stomach,and then to the intestines | |
