Learn how a cow’s stomach transforms food into energy.
Certain animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats are considered ruminant animals. This means that they have a stomach with four different parts – each with its own important job. One of these parts is called the rumen, which uses a special process to break down the fiber from plants and turn them into energy for the animal. Let’s learn how this process works!
