What is the main difference between the monogastric system and the hindgut fermenter system?
The monogastric can digest large amounts of roughages and the hindgut fermenter cannot.
The hindgut fermenter has an enlarged cecum that digests large amounts of roughages using microbes
The monogastric has a four-compartment stomach
The hindgut fermenter uses rumination to chew previously swallowed food for further mechanical breakdown.
Reorder the avian digestive system organs.

Proventriculus
Gizzard
Small Intestine
Large Intestine
Organize these options into the right categories

Humans
Pigs
Goats
Horses
Rabbits

What is the main difference between the hindgut fermenter and the ruminant system?
The hindgut fermenter digests roughages in the cecum and the ruminant digests roughages in the rumen.
The hindgut fermenter digests roughages in the rumen and the ruminant digests roughages in the cecum.
The hindgut fermenter cannot digest large amounts of roughages but the ruminant can
The hindgut fermenter has a 4 compartment stomach and the ruminant only has 1.
