After this process is completed, they are sent into the Omasum, which cavity seems designed to prepare the food to enter the fourth stom- ach where the true process of digestion takes place. And it is from this fourth stomach or Abomasum, that the Rennet is taken from young calves, and used by cheesemakers for the purpose of coagulating the milk. 342. Reason of this Complex Stomach.—The probable reason of such a complicated stomach in these animals is that since they have such poor means of self-defense, they need to crop their food as quickly as possible, and then retire to a safe place to masticate it. And it is also partly owing to the fact that vegetable substances require a longer process for di- gestion than does animal food. 343. length of Intestine—The length of the Intestine depends as a general rule upon the food used by the animal, Fig. Stomach of the Ox.
