Ruminants and Monogastrics

They are called ruminants because they have a four chambered stomach (Rumen, Abomasum, reticulum, omasum), food will enter the rumen and then the animal will then (during its resting period) regurgitate the food re chewing it and then swallowing it where it then enters the remaining three stomachs (this process is called chewing cud and is repeated until all food is digested).

If you are talking about cow's milk, then I suppose yes it is in a very roundabout way.

First of all understand that milk is made by the mother animal out of her own body tissues. Milk is a modified form of "sweat" produced by modified sweat glands.

However to produce milk the mother animal has to eat food, in the case of human milk the mother just eats more human food and drinks water and the body turn this into the raw material needed to produce the rich breast milk needed to feed her baby.

With cows, although they eat grass, they can not digest this grass because it is made of "cellulose". They have special stomachs in which the chewed up grass is fermented by bacteria that live naturally in these stomachs and the bacteria break down and grow on the cellulose. The cow then "digests" these bacteria as its food.

Thus in the case of ruminants, the food the mother cow lives on is bacteria and thus the milk was indeed originally bacteria.

A calf's rumen starts growing after the calf is born, and often has a fully functional rumen by the time he's around 3 months of age. By this time, he's about as dependent on his dam's milk supply as he is on the forage that his dam is or has taught him to eat. Milk production (as a way of weaning him) decreases by the time he's 3 months of age, and by the time he gets weaned, which is around 6 to 10 months of age, milk is in low supply and he's eating more forage than suckling from his dam.

They are dolphins

No. Horses are hind-gut fermentors. They have a monogastric (single-chambered stomach), but a very large cecum where the small intestine joins onto the large intestine. This is where most of the fermentation takes place.

Yes, an Impala is a ruminant animal. Ruminants are animals that have a complex stomach with four compartments, including cattle, sheep, and deer. Impalas have a similar digestive system that allows them to efficiently digest and extract nutrients from plant material.

Yes

No. A chicken is a non ruminant because it does not have four chambers in its digestive system.
