*In the dog, it lies roughly symmetrically about the midline. It contacts the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]], stomach and [[Spleen - Anatomy & Physiology|spleen]] cranially and [[Bladder - Anatomy & Physiology|urinary bladder]] ventrally.  It lies on the deep sheet of the greater omentum.

*In the ox, it is pushed entirely to the right side of the abdomen by the [[Rumen|rumen]] which is on the left. Coils of the jejunum usually lie within the supraomental recess; although this can vary between individuals depending on fullness of the rumen and size of the uterus.

*In the horse, the coils of jejunum ane confined to the left dorsal part of the abdomen. It is restricted to this position by the large caecum on the right, and ascending colon ventrally on both sides.
