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.
Chambers of the Heart. The heart is composed of four well separated chambers. The two superior chambers are the atria (= entry halls) , and the two inferior chambers are the ventricles (= little bellies). The atria are the receiving chambers, they receive venous blood from systemic and pulmonary circulation and pump it down into the ventricles. The ventricles are the distributing chambers, they pump blood out of the heart into the peripheral circulation.
