What pathway in young calves directs milk into the abomasum, bypassing the rumen, reticulum, and omasum?(a) Rumen bypass groove(b) Masticulas passinomis(c) Esophageal groove(d) Rumen passinomisThis question was addressed to me during an interview.The doubt is from Diseases and Deficiency topic in chapter Cow Health of Dairy Engineering

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (c) Esophageal groove

For explanation I would say: The esophageal groove is a CURVED MUSCLE that lies in the throat of the calf. When a calf drinks WATER from a trough or eats meal and grains, the esophageal groove stays curved to direct these foods to the rumen for digestion. It is also a pathway in young cows to direct milk into the ABOMASUMS.
