My name is Miss Swiss, I am a Brown Swiss dairy cow at the Simpsonview farm and I am here to talk about my stomach! So many times I hear people discuss that I have multiple stomachs, but this simply is not true! I have one stomach that has four separate compartments named omasum, abomasum, rumen, and reticulum. I think of this like the chambers in my heart. I prefer to regurgitate and chew my cud thoroughly, and with the help from my gut bacteria assist me on digesting and gaining value from products you would not be able to digest like cellulose. This is why I love eating corn silage and I would argue that I eat more veggies than you do!
I will be telling you all about the unique functions of each chamber in my stomach for each day this week, I thought Rachael could use some help from an expert so I will be taking over the blog for now🐮
My picture was taken by Sam, I am such a beautiful Brown Swiss 🌟
