The abomasum, also known as the maw, rennet-bag, or reed tripe, is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennet, which is used in cheese creation. The word abomasum is from New Latin and it was first used in English in 1706. It comes from Latin ab- + omasum "intestine of an ox", and it is possibly from the Gaulish language.
Use of low pH active alpha-1,4; / 1,6-glycoside hydrolases (GLCH) as a feed additive for ruminants to enhance starch digestion
Disclosed are uses of at least one alpha-1,4 / 1,6-glycoside hydrolase (GLCH) as a feed additive for a ruminant wherein said hydrolase: (a) has at least 20% activity at pH less than or equal to 3 in the presence of pepsin as compared to activity of the hydrolase at pH 6 in the presence of pepsin, (b) said hydrolase is active in at least two of three digestive chambers of a ruminant comprising a rumen, an abomasum and a small intestine and (c) the hydrolase works with pancreatic amylase to increase glucose yield.
