The difference in the process of digestion varies for ruminant animals vs. non ruminant. This is how they differ: Runminant animals are generally any hoofed and horned mammals like cows, goats, deer---their digestion takes in a four compartment stomach and chewing a cud consisting of regurgitated food to often alter the make of the hays and grains they eat. The non ruminant animal has a mechanical, chemical, and biologically--the reduction of food by chewing and adding digestive enzymes, then there is the mixing and heating of it with hydrochloric acid and enzymes in the stomach, then nutrients are extracted from the large intestine, followed by the excretion of waste. (This is our digestive process so we must be non ruminant).

What is cud?
Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach to the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More accurately, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination.
How does digestion in non ruminant in animals occur?
Digestion is a mechanical, chemical and biological process which liberates oranic and inorganic nutrients from ingested food and liquids. Complex carbohydrates, proteins and other materials are reduced to sugars, amino scids and similar materials. Water, carbobn dioxide, salts, refractory materials and toxic are excreted as waste.Th e process is:Reduction of food by mastication with the addition of salivary digestive enzymes.Mixing and heating with hydrochloric acid and enzymes in the stomachExtraction of nutrient values in the gutExtraction of water in the large intestineExcretion of waste.

Digestion is the process of breaking down food into simpler substances. Digestion is of two types: mechanical or physical digestion, and chemical digestion.
Which process is not required for an animal to obtain energy from food?
