Summary:
Fig. 12.1. The equine stomach is relatively small and is divided into a glandular region below, and a squamous region above, by the line of margo plicatus. The pH in the squamous region is usually above 6 because there are no parietal (acid) cells and high-pH saliva enters via the oesophagus. The pH in the mid-section around the margo plicatus is around 3.0–6.0. In the region of the proper (fundic) gastric glands, the pH drops to as low as 1.5. Both lower regions have lower pH the longer the gap between feeds.
