[..]The rumen (on the left side of the animal) is the largest stomach compartment and consists of several sacs. It can hold 25 gallons or more of material depending on the size of the cow. Because of its size, the rumen acts as a storage or holding vat for feed. Aside from storage, the rumen is also a fermentation vat.[..]
we get milk because their stomachs are basically fermentation vats. if cows dont fart, they are not rumen. what are we doing?
