Cow

2. Habitat
A cow's habitat is any location that has enough grass or plants to
support a cow's constant grazing. A common habitat is grasslands, but
cattle can also survive in forests by eating the vegetation. They are able to
survive in a number of different weather conditions and terrains as long as
they have access to food and water.

3. The Anatomy of a Cows Stomach

Inside a cows stomach region, there are 4 digestive departments:

1. The Rumen this is the largest part and holds upto 50 gallons of partially digested food. This
is where the cud comes from. Good bacteria in the Rumen helps soften and digest the cows
food and provides protein for the cow.
2. The Recticulum this part of the stomach is called the hardware stomach. This is because if
the cow eats something it should not have like a peice of fencing, it lodges here in the
Recticulum. However, the contractions of the reticulum can force the object into the peritoneal
cavity where it initiates inflammation. Nails and screws can even peroferate the heart. The grass
that has been eaten is also softened further in this stomach section and is formed into small wads
of cud. Each cud returns to the cows mouth and is chewed 40 60 times and then swallowed
properly.
3. The Omasum this part of the stomach is a filter. It filters through all the food the cow eats.
The cud is also pressed and broken down further.
4. The Abomasum this part of the stomach is like a humans stomach and is connected to the
intestines. Here, the food is finally digested by the cows stomach juices and essential nutrients
that the cow needs are passed through the bloodstream. The rest is passed through to the
intestines and produces a cow pat.
