The smallest chamber of the stomach of ruminants is the abomasum. It is often referred to as the "true stomach" and is similar in function to the stomach of non-ruminants, where enzymatic digestion occurs. The abomasum follows the rumen, reticulum, and omasum in the digestive sequence. This chamber plays a crucial role in breaking down feed and absorbing nutrients.
