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
They both have only one stomach, and primarily pertain to the differences in digestive systems between mammals, not avians, reptiles or amphibians. Ruminants have a four-chambered stomach, whereas non-ruminants have a simple stomach.
The similarities of a ruminant and a non-ruminant digestive system is that they all have only one stomach, and the same organs that make up the whole digestive system complex. The difference between a ruminant and a non-ruminant is that a ruminant has four chambers in that stomach and a non-ruminant has a simple stomach (one stomach comprising of one chamber).

Yes, non-ruminant means "having one stomach," if the koala wasn't ruminant, he would have four stomachs.
Poultry and swine are not ruminant animal because their digestive system is different than these types of animals. A ruminant's stomach has four compartments. Likewise, ruminants belong to the suborder Ruminantia. Poultry and swine are monogastrics, or have a single-compartment stomach.
A non-ruminant animal is one that has a simple stomach as opposed to a multichambered one. Humans, horses, pigs are examples.
The peccary (which is a species of wild pig) is a non-ruminant like all other pigs.
Goats are ruminant animals.
No. A pig is a non-ruminant omnivore. By being non-ruminants, they are essentialy, monogastrics.
