Introduction to the Forestomach
- The majority of the ruminant diet is composed of complex plant carbohydrates, for example cellulose. In the rumen, these are broken down by fermentation by bacteria and protozoa.
- The fermentation process produces 1-2 litres of gas each minute which is eliminated via the oesphagus by eructation.
