Eructation is the release of gases from the stomach through the [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]]. Carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen and other volatile products are produced in the [[Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] through the fermentaion of food by microorganisms and most of these gases are then released through eructation.

Not all of the carbon dioxide produced in the [[Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] is released through eructation. Some of the gas is absorbed directly over the [[Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] wall. If gas release does not occur, or gas elimination does not equal gas production, a condition called [[Bloat|bloat]] will arise.
