Abstract
The coincidence between respiratory movements and regular movements of the ruminant stomach was investigated using four steers with rumen cannulas and four sheep with rumen and abomasal cannulas. The second peak of the biphasic reticular contraction coincided with inspiration 66% of the time. This synchrony may facilitate digesta flow to the omasum. Key words: Respiration, forestomach movements, ruminants, pressure
