CONT

La digestion et la fermentation bactérienne, la macération physique par les contractions mécaniques des parois stomacales sont les deux principales fonctions des préestomacs; ces deux fonctions sont interdépendantes. Ainsi le trouble éprouvé par l'une provoque des anomalies chez l'autre. La fonction motrice étant la plus aisément mise en évidence, c'est donc la motricité du rumen qui est utilisée comme indicateur de la fonction digestive des ruminants.

CONT

Terminaison nerveuse afférente de la muqueuse de l'estomac antérieur de mouton et de chèvre.

OBS
