Ruminant Digestion
• Relationships Between Organisms

What is a ruminant?
• Specialized digestive system capable of digesting cellulose.
• Has a stomach with 4 distinct compartments
• Cattle, sheep, goats, deer & elk.

Compartment Capacity
• Reticulum 5% of capacity
• Rumen 80% of capacity
• Omasum 7% of capacity
• Abomasum 8% of capacity

Reticulum
• Hardware stomach• Holds foreign materials like nails
Omasum* Muscular section that squeezes out
excess water from food products before passing along in the digestive process.

Rumen• Largest compartment
• Storage area
• Millions of bacteria and protozoa live here and break down cellulose into digestible protein and carbohydrates

Abomasum• True stomach
• Site of chemical digestion
• Digestive juices containing enzymes break down food products to be absorbed by the small intestine

Types of Relationships between organisms
• Mutualism each helps the other.• Commensalism one benefits, the other
does not.• Parasitism one depend on the other for
essential food factor, usually harmful to the host.
• Phoresis the host carries the “symbiont”

Vocabulary Review
Monogastric A digestive system with one stomach compartment
Polygastric A digestive system capable of breaking down cellulose into digestible protein and
carbohydrates. The stomach is divided into compartments each with a specialized function.
Ruminant An animal with a polygastric digestive system.Rumination Part of the process of digestion in a
polygastric system where a bolus is regurgitated, re- chewed and swallowed.
