In the beef cattle diet, common roughages include hay, silage and grass. Silage is a crop that has been preserved in a moist, succulent condition by partial fermentation in a tight container (silo) above or below ground. The majority of the food cattle eat comes from this type of feedstuffs.
Birds (some dinosaurs) and mammals have a four-chambered heart. The ventricle is divided by a septum into two compartments completely separating oxygenated from deoxygenated blood and delivering the maximum amount of oxygen to the head and body at the most efficient pressure.
The chambers are known as atria and ventricles. Each side of the heart is composed of one atrium and one ventricle. The atria are the receiving chambers of the heart, receiving blood flowing back to the heart. The ventricles are the chambers of the heart that pump the blood out of the heart. The valves of the heart are located within the chambers of the heart and are critical to the proper flow of blood through the heart.
