Describe the process of digestion in ruminant and non ruminant animals?

The difference in the process of digestion varies for ruminant animals vs. non ruminant. This is how they differ: Runminant animals are generally any hoofed and horned mammals like cows, goats, deer---their digestion takes in a four compartment stomach and chewing a cud consisting of regurgitated food to often alter the make of the hays and grains they eat. The non ruminant animal has a mechanical, chemical, and biologically--the reduction of food by chewing and adding digestive enzymes, then there is the mixing and heating of it with hydrochloric acid and enzymes in the stomach, then nutrients are extracted from the large intestine, followed by the excretion of waste. (This is our digestive process so we must be non ruminant).


Differences between rumminant and non rumminant animals?

Ruminant animals have a complex stomach with four compartments that allows them to regurgitate and re-chew their food, aiding in digestion. Non-ruminant animals have a simpler, single-chambered stomach. Ruminants also have a symbiotic relationship with microorganisms in their stomach that help break down cellulose in their diet.
