Myth

Cows have four stomachs

Fact

Cows actually have one stomach with four parts. A cow’s stomach is made up of four compartments that help them digest their food: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum. Each of these compartments has a specific role in the digestion of a cow’s diet. If you want to know more, we have a blog post that goes into more detail about how each compartment works!
