What is "reticulorumen"?

The reticulorumen is a stomach chamber found in ruminant animals like cows, sheep, and goats. It has a honeycomb-like structure with folds and papillae, housing microorganisms that aid in fermenting plant materials. This fermentation process produces energy-rich volatile fatty acids. The reticulorumen acts as a storage and mixing chamber for food, allowing for rumination and re-chewing. It is vital for ruminants to extract nutrients from plant-based diets.
