How does rumination occur?
rumination is the process of digestion in the ruminant animal such as cattle and sheep, these animal have a compound stomach that consist of four compartment rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum, during grazzing the animal eat and swallow the grass rapidly without chewing it just swallow it and stored in the first compartment the Rumen and during the rest time by special movements of the rumen the animal can bring the ingested food from the rumen to the mouth to chewed again and again until it become ready for transporting to the second compartment, the digestion of food in the rumen happened by the action of micro organisms that secret some enzymes has the ability to digest the fiber which are not digestible in the simple stomach animals.
What is a ruminant herbivore?
Ruminants are animals that chew their cud and have 4 stomachs. This includes cattle, sheep, goats and antelope.
Are poultry non ruminants?
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!
Is an Impala a ruminant animal?

What is the process of preserving dead animals for dissection called?
You put dead animals in formaldehyde to preserve them. I don't know if there is a "process" for that...
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.
Is a vicuna a ruminant?

Is the digestive system of a goat ruminant or non-ruminant?

What is a sentence using rumination?
In animals, rumination is a part of normal digestion, in which the animal (known as a ruminant) brings up swallowed food (usually grass or hay), chews it, and swallows it. This aids the animal by allowing it to eat quickly and chew later while it is resting.
What are disadvantages of rumination?
Rumination increases the efficiency of the food extraction process by the animal. Rumination is the key to being able to make the most efficient use of the food that one consumes.

Describe the process of digestion in ruminant and non ruminant animals?
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).
Do Ruminant animals have a four-chambered stomach and have cellulose-producing microbes in their rumens?
Ruminant animals have 4 stomachs but the microbed don't produce cellulose, they break it down.
