abomasum — Definition

Abomazum / abomasum
Abomazum is the fourth and last part of the four-roomed stomach of animals (ruminants). This section secretes stomach acid and digestive enzymes (such as pepsin) because it is considered as real stomach. Abomazum partially complements the chemical digestion of digested nutrients in the pre-processor (rumen), börkenek (reticulum) and wrinkle (omasum). Clinically, the right or left displacement of the abomazum (place change) is a frequent health problem in cattle and may require surgical intervention.
