sacciforme

Referring to a stomach with "saccules," or sack-like compartments, in which bacteria slowly break down cellulose, thereby providing more useable calories. Among the primates, only the Colobinae (colobus, langurs, and proboscis monkeys) have this characteristic. Cows and some related animals also have sacculated stomachs.
