Preparation of the Foetal Compound Stomach as an Aid in the Teaching of Ruminant Nutritional Physiology1

Elliott Lee Hix2

Kansas State College

Abstract

A method for the preparation of the foetal compound stomach as a visual aid in ruminant nutritional physiology is described. The method consists briefly of hardening the stomach in formalin, filling it with paraffin, and applying several coats of cellulose acetate in acetone and a cement-cellulose acetate mixture. The preparation preserves the stomach tissue in its natural state for an indefinite period, lends rigidity to the stomach, and renders it resistant to frequent handling.
