Yes, birds are non-ruminants.
following are the non ruminants..........HUMANS,PIG,MOUSE,HORSE etc
The major difference is protein sources. Ruminants require less protein than non-ruminants, and consequently require more fibre in their diet than non-ruminants. Non-ruminants cannot digest fibre and cellulose nearly as well as ruminants can, and thus need higher concentrate feedstuffs to actually do well.
Non-ruminants are also called "monogastrics"--animals with a single-compartment stomach. (Ruminant stomachs have four compartments.) Examples of mongastric animals are humans, primates, swine, dogs, cats, and even horses. There are several ways to distinguish ruminants from non-ruminant animals: Ruminants likely have cloven hooves (but then, again, so do swine) AND they regurgitate and "chew their cud." That is, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, buffalo, etc, are all ruminants. If one observes them closely while they are "resting," they will often regurgitate a small bolus of feed/mass of grass (a "cud") and chew it to further break down the feed/ingesta. Other animals that are "non-ruminant" are birds, fish, all kinds of reptiles, amoebas, protozoa, bacteria, etc. So, it may be easier to identify ruminants than to identify what animals are non-ruminant!
Ruminants have a compartmentalised stomach. There are 4 compartments, the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. A non ruminant does not have a compartmentalised stomach, the non ruminants stomach has similar fucntions to that of the abomasum in the ruminants
Yes indeed! Ruminants include wildebeest, hartebeest, cape buffalo, gazelles, springbok (and all other species of antelope) and giraffes. Non-ruminants include lions, zebras, hyenas, crocodiles, baboons, hippos, rhinos, etc.
Digestion for non-ruminants starts at the mouth and ends at the anus, just like for any animal, including ruminants.
Yes, cows produce methane, just like all other ruminants and non-ruminants.
Food and mates in their territory.
No. A pig is a non-ruminant omnivore. By being non-ruminants, they are essentialy, monogastrics.

Non-ruminants. They have a simple stomach, do not chew cud but are hind-gut fermentors.
There are many advantages of ruminant digestion of non-ruminant digestion. One advantage is the more complete and efficient breakdown of food. Another advantage is that some ruminant-specific microorganisms synthesize important vitamins. Ruminants can always better utilize low quality feed.
