New intestinal cells are born at the base of the villi, and they migrate to the tips of the villi where—at the “old age” of three days—they come off.

In addition, called the small and large bowel, or colloquially the “guts,” they constitute the greatest mass and length of the alimentary canal and, with the exception of ingestion, perform all digestive system functions.

In young animals, the reticulum, rumen, and omasum are relatively underdeveloped, and exposure to feed, the barn, and other environments enables the growth and maturation of the foregut, and this process takes about six to nine months in large ruminants.

Before we go into the digestive details of the small intestine, it is important that you have a basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the following digestion accessory organs: pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.

It mentions that rare tumors may also lead to ulcers and clarifies that stress and spicy foods do not cause ulcers, though they can worsen symptoms. Moreover, it notes that smoking and alcohol can aggravate ulcer conditions and impede healing.
