Cannulated cow
Okay, so a cannulated cow is a cow that has a hole in its side called a fistula. This hole is made by a veterinarian or a scientist so they can study how the cow's stomach works.
The cow's stomach is made up of four sections and they use this hole to take samples from each section to see how they are breaking down and digesting their food.
Don't worry, the cow doesn't feel any pain because they are given medicine to help them relax and not feel anything during the procedure.
It's kind of like a window into the cow's stomach so scientists can learn more about how cows eat and what makes them healthy. Cool, huh?
