what-is-a-rumen
Answer
A rumen is a natural, specialized modification of the stomach that helps ruminants—animals such as sheep, goats, or cattle—digest feed that is not easily broken down by typical mammal stomach enzymes. The rumen is a large fermentation chamber where microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and protozoa grow and break down cellulose and other vegetable fibers to generate energy for grazing animals.
