Simple indigestion is an example of which forestomach disorder type?

• A. Abnormal contents
• B. Abnormal motor function
• C. Infectious disease
• D. Nutritional deficiency

Answer: (A)

Simple indigestion shows up as an upset caused by the nature or amount of feed inside the forestomachs, so it is classified as abnormal contents. The problem is about what the rumen/reticulum contain and how that content affects digestion, rather than about the way the rumen moves (motor function), a infectious process, or a deficiency in nutrients. In practice, a diet change or spoiled or inappropriate feed can disrupt fermentation and cause mild digestive upset without a primary motor defect, infection, or nutrient deficiency, which is why this condition fits the abnormal contents category.
