Camelids have a similar digestive structure to other ruminants, although camelids only have three separate GI tract compartments compared to the four found in domestic species. The first element of the camelid GI tract, known as '''C1''', can be compared to the rumen whilst the second, known as '''C2''' can be compared to the reticulum. The final element of the tract, '''C3''' can be compared to the abomasum. Therefore camelids do not have a structure comparible to an omasum.
