What is a ruminant?
Ruminants are those animals that contain a multi-chambered digestive system (polygastric) that allows the animals to gain the majority of their nutritional needs from forages and other roughages.
Ruminants are animals that only eat meat and have a single-chambered stomach.
Ruminants are animals that live exclusively in water and breathe through gills.
Ruminants are birds that can fly long distances without stopping.
What is a monogastric (non-ruminant)?
Monogastric system have a simple stomach structure and only one compartment such as carnivores and omnivores.
Monogastric system have four stomach compartments like ruminants.
Monogastric system refers to animals that chew cud.
Monogastric system is found only in herbivores.
The four parts of a ruminant stomach are called:
Rumen, Reticulum, Omasum, Abomasum
Cecum, Colon, Ileum, Jejunum
Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum, Cecum
Crop, Proventriculus, Gizzard, Cloaca
