Nutrients in the feed are utilized by the Sheep to meet their nutritional requirements. It is not the feed itself that meets these needs, but the components that make up the feed. fact Sheet Digestion in Sheep Like cattle, Sheep are ruminants. A ruminant animal has a compartmental stomach which contains the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. The rumen allows the animal to consume plant material and retain it long enough to allow bacteria, protozoa and fungi to break down and digest the material. The plant material is consumed quickly, regurgitated and re-chewed and then swallowed. This process is called cud-chewing. A healthy mature Sheep will chew their cud for several hours each day.
