A: No, this is a myth! Cows do not have 4 stomachs, but in fact have 1 stomach with 4 chambers (sections) to it. Food travels through the 4 chambers which each have a specific role in the break-down and digestion of the food matter. These 4 chambers mean that they can digest plant matter much more efficiently than horses, rabbits and humans, which have a single-chamber (‘mono-gastric’) stomach.
