Camelids, like camels, alpacas and llamas. They are not ruminants because they do not have a rumen, but they are not non-ruminants either, because they still have three chambers in their stomachs that act like a true ruminant's and eat the same forages like any ruminant would.

∙ 12y agoWell ruminants are animals with four-chambered stomachs, like cows or goats. WE are a ruminant. We have only one stomach, and we don't need to re-digest food. Like dogs and cats.

Are the birds non ruminants?
Yes, birds are non-ruminants.
What animals are examples of non-ruminants?
following are the non ruminants..........HUMANS,PIG,MOUSE,HORSE etc
What are the major differences in nutritional requirements of ruminants and non-ruminants?
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.
What are the differences between the stomach of a ruminant and the stomach of a 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
Are there examples of ruminants and non-ruminants in Africa?
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 in non ruminant animals occur?
Digestion for non-ruminants starts at the mouth and ends at the anus, just like for any animal, including ruminants.
Methane cows produce?
Yes, cows produce methane, just like all other ruminants and non-ruminants.
Why do non ruminants need water?
Food and mates in their territory.
Is a pig a non-ruminant herbivore?
No. A pig is a non-ruminant omnivore. By being non-ruminants, they are essentialy, monogastrics.
Are Mules ruminant or non ruminant?
Non-ruminants. They have a simple stomach, do not chew cud but are hind-gut fermentors.
Advantages of ruminants over non-ruminants?
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.
What are the nutritional differences between ruminants and non ruminants in relation of stomach?
Ruminants have to be able to feed the microbes in the rumen (the stomach). As something to help in your research, look at how cobalt and sulfur are required by each as one difference in nutritional differences. Adult ruminants require a dietary intake of these elements while non ruminants do not. The reason for a cobalt has to do with the synthesis of B12 vitamin. This vitamin is synthesized by the gut microbes. Non ruminants, usually have a dietary intake of vitamin B12 and therefore have no requirement for additional cobalt. The cobalt is only needed for the center of the organic ring in B12. Since cobalt is not stored in the body, the only way to get the cobalt to the gut microbes is through oral intake. Injections of cobalt are not a solution, because thi
