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

How cellulose is digested in ruminants and non ruminants?

Cellulose digestion differs between ruminants (such as cows, sheep, and goats) and non-ruminants (such as humans, pigs, and horses) due to the differences in their digestive systems and microbial activity. Ruminants Ruminants are able to digest cellulose due to the unique structure of their stomachs, which consists of four compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Rumen and Reticulum: These compartments host a large population of microorganisms (bacteria, protozoa, and fungi) that are capable of breaking down cellulose into simpler compounds like volatile fatty acids (VFAs), methane, and gases. This process is known as fermentation. The cellulose is first mechanically broken down by chewing and mixed with saliva before being fermented by microbes.
