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.
Well 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.

This site has a picture of it.
Non-ruminant digestive system is the stomach of an animal. The stomach has four parts and food falls into either categories.
Pretty much anything other than grass.
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.
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.
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
