Development of the digestive system posterior abdominal wall. By the fifth week, the connecting tissue bridge has narrowed, and the caudal part of the foregut, the midgut, and a major part of the hindgut are suspended from the abdominal wall by the dorsal mesentery, which extends from the lower end of the esophagus to the cloacal region of the hindgut. In the region of the stomach, it forms the dorsal mesogastrium or greater omentum. In the region of the duodenum, it forms the dorsal mesoduodenum; and in the region of the colon, it forms the dorsal mesocolon. Dorsal mesentery, of the jejunal and ileal loops,
Methanogens in digestive tract of ruminants cellulose breakdown occupy the rumen. They initiate the fermentation process.The animal observes the fatty acids, vitamins and nutrient content on passing the partially digested food from rumen to omasum which, decreases the pH level and thus initiates the release of enzymes for further break down the food which is later passed to the abomasumthat absorbs remaining nutrients before excretion.This process takes about 9–12 hours. Some of the microbes in ruminant digestive system are: Methanogens in digestive tract of ruminants Methanogens are a group of microorganisms that can produce methane as a byproduct of their metabolism.They hold an important place in
