No, ducks are not considered monogastric animals; they are classified as avian species with a digestive system that includes a gizzard, which is part of a complex stomach structure.

Monogastric animals, like pigs and humans, have a simpler digestive system with only one stomach chamber.
What is the part of the ruminant digestive tract that is like the stomach of the monogastric animal?
The part of the ruminant digestive tract that functions similarly to the stomach of a monogastric animal is the abomasum. It is the fourth chamber in the ruminant's digestive system and is responsible for the enzymatic digestion of food, similar to how a stomach operates in monogastric animals. The abomasum secretes gastric juices and enzymes that break down proteins, facilitating nutrient absorption.
