The abomasum is the âtrue stomachâ of a ruminant. It is the compartment that is most similar to a stomach in a nonruminant. The abomasum produces hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, such as pepsin (breaks down proteins), and receives digestive enzymes secreted from the pancreas, such as pancreatic lipase (breaks down fats).
Components of the ruminant digestive system. The digestive system of a typical ruminant or a forestomach fermentator, has three compartments prior to reaching the fourth or true stomach (Fig. 5-3). These are the reticulum, the rumen, the omasum and then the abomasum or equivalent to the stomach in monogastric species.The reticulum.dvantages and disadvantages of the fermentative process for digestion. Carbohydrates, such as glucose, are converted to VFA, while the amino acids are usually deaminated. The carbon skeletons of amino acids are also used for VFA production and their nitrogen is reused for new amino acids (Fig. 5-6).
