Apa yg dimaksud dengan rumen

The rumen, also known as a paunch, forms the larger part of the reticulorumen, which is the first chamber in the alimentary canal of ruminant animals. It serves as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed. The smaller part of the reticulorumen is the reticulum, which is fully continuous with the rumen, but differs from it with regard to the texture of its lining.

Rumen adalah salah satu bagian lambung ternak ruminansia (memamah biak) seperti sapi, kerbau, kambing dan domba.Rumen berisi bahan pakan yang dimakan oleh ternak yang berupa rumput/hijauan lainnya, dan pakan penguat (konsentrat).
