omasum

Goats have a four-chambered stomach consisting of the rumen the reticulum the omasum and the abomasum.

Ontogenesis of the omasum: a comparative analysis of the Merino sheep and Iberian red deer.

Hernial content is commonly reticulum which herniates into thorax, however omasum, abomasum, loops of intestine, spleen or liver may also get involved without exhibiting additional specific clinical signs.

They were considered as non-carcass components: heart, liver, kidneys, rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum, small intestine, large intestine, blood and skin.

Studies on the development of omasum in West African Dwarf goat (Capra hircus).

Cattle that died due to the treatment were necropsied and samples of the brain, lung, heart, spleen, kidneys, omasum, abomasum, small and large intestines, and lymph nodes were fixed in 10% formalin, embedded in paraffin, cut at 3 pm, stained by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) (LUNA, 1968), and evaluated by light microscopy.

The gastrointestinal tract (rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum, and small and large intestines) was removed and weighed before and after their contents were removed in order to obtain the empty body weight (EBW), which was determined by subtracting the mass of the content of the gastrointestinal tract (CGIT) and the bladder from the BW.

The rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum were dissected and individually weighed with their contents.

In calves fed milk...the reticulorumen and omasum grew roughly proportional to body weight, but on grain and hay the reticulorumen grew at four times and the omasum at two and one-half times body weight.

Ruminal contractions soon move them to the reticulum where they are entrapped by the reticulorumenal fold and transferred to the omasum, or third stomach chamber.
