The Stomach of the Kafue lechwe (Kobus leche kafuensis)

View through CrossRef
SummaryThe Kafue lechwe is endemic to the Kafue Flats area of Zambia. It is semi‐aquatic in habit, feeding upon grasses above and below the waterline. The volume of the lechwe rumen is 17 L in the male and 14 L in the female. It has strong and definite pillars. The interior of the rumen is papillated except in the roof area and on the pillars. The omasum has more than 70 laminae which are papiliated on the reticular end. The anatomy of the lechwe stomach is similar to the stomachs of other water dependent grazers such as Bohor Reedbuck, Waterbuck, Uganda Kob and Puku.
