A fore-gut fermentor is the same name for a ruminant. Ruminants have a compartment where the feed they eat is fermented that is located prior to their true stomach, being the abomasum. Because the Abomasum is the true stomach and the other three chambers are more or less an extension of the esophagus, this is why ruminants are called fore-gut fermentors. Ruminants include such animals as cattle, sheep, goats, deer, bison, buffalo, yak, elk, moose, etc.
