While less humorous than the bully sticks video, here is another bovine related, and stomach related video taken from the most unbelievable demonstration at Tufts Vet School's annual Open House. While we do go to Open House every year, and have seen (and smelled) this demo live in person several times before, this is not my video. It is both disgusting and impressive at the same time. This cow is a rumen donor- she lives at the vet hospital in a pasture (with some horses because the other cows thought she was too different and messed with her porthole)- and she just does cow things and provides digestive enzymes for other hospitalized ruminants (cows, goats and horses) who have lost all their stomach "bugs" due to antibiotics during their treatment at the hospital. Sensitive stomachs, beware- but the concept is grosser than what you actually see- no blood, organs, anything like that- but if a still photo of tripe turns you over the video probably will too. Let's go to the tape:
I saw this years ago and wondered why we pesky humans always have some infection problem or the other when similar "ports" as put in during some weird surgery.. lol
I believe there was a 'ported' cow on my college campus, on the campus that held concentrations of animal and agricultural sciences.. really neat!! Thanks for the info, Lindsay!
That is awesome... I think I missed my calling as a scientist or something. I have a friend who graduated from West Virginia University who has two of her own sheep (one with a stomach window) and a rumen donor cow with a port hole. I never EVER get tired of hearing what she learns!

anyway, sorry Joe, didn't mean to off-set your thread. ..back to bull penises *vomits*
UGH...still not as bad as tripe though...BLAH
Are there other kinds of bullys that are made for dogs? Pig or horse?
The cow port is a neat idea, they also use those to see how certain feeds are digested compared to others-helps to tell what is more easily processed.
This forum has the best thread jacks!
I think I'm either going to pass out or vomit now.

I'll have to get pictures of them when they first get it..
