Ruminants more completely break starches down being that they have three compartments in their digestive track for fermenting them. They are more able to break down cellulose due to the different bacterias in their rumun and omasum.
No, Goat stomachs are chambered and perform a different way than a human stomach. Like cows. They also produce gasses deadly to humans. Stomach transplants are very uncommon though and are usually done along with intestine, pancreas, or liver. With the low demand of stomachs there should be plenty in stock for someone who needs this rare transplant
Ruminantsare animals that have a 4 chambered stomach, meaning they have one stomach with four divisions. Ruminants include some large animals that chew grass or leaves, such as cows and sheep.It is sometimes believed that almost any animal that chews grass or leaves is a ruminant with four stomachs but this is certainly not the case. Herbivorous marsupials are not ruminants; nor are rabbits and hares, or camels, llamas and alpacas, for example.
Sheep are like most ruminants and have a single stomach with four very distinct compartments; the four compartments are often referred to as four different stomachs. The four compartments are called the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum and the abomasum.
A ruminant's third stomach is called the omasum. It is responsible for further breaking down and absorbing nutrients from the food material before it enters the abomasum, the fourth stomach.
Howrse answer is One Horses have one stomach. in other words: it's the same with us!! :) Many other four legged grazers (like sheep, goats and cattle) are ruminants, that is, they have four stomachs. They evolved seperately and are more closely related to antelopes than to horses. Ruminants have cloven hooves, horses have an unbroken hoof. Having four stomachs allows ruminants to extract more nutrition out of what they eat, so usually they can eat less nutritious feed (like straw or weeds) than horses can. Technically speaking they all have one stomach, just that the average person calls the 4 compartments of a ruminants stomach to be separate stomachs. (reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum) Horses and rabbits have a 'hind gut' This is the caecum, where some additional digestion can take place (humans call the caecum an appendix) only 1
The difference is mainly due to the complexity of carbohydrate digestion. Humans have a single stomach, where ruminants have a multichambered stomach to digest carbs more completely.

Ruminants have a compartmentalised stomach. There are 4 compartments, the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. A non ruminant does not have a compartmentalised stomach, the non ruminants stomach has similar fucntions to that of the abomasum in the ruminants
No, geese are not ruminants. Ruminants are a specific group of animals, such as cows and sheep, that have a specialized stomach with multiple chambers, allowing them to digest plant material through fermentation. Geese, being birds, have a different digestive system that includes a gizzard for grinding food, but they do not have the multi-chambered stomach characteristic of ruminants.
A ruminat's stomach has four compartments - the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum, each with different cellular and surface structures and the human stomach is a single organ with a smooth structure.
reticulum
Like all deer, moose are ruminants. Ruminants only have one stomach. However, the confusion comes from the fact that the stomach of a ruminant is divided into four chambers.
Dogs are monogastrics. Cows are ruminants. Monogastrics have one simple stomach: Ruminants have a complex four-chambered stomach.
The stomach lining of ruminants is called the mucosa, which is responsible for producing enzymes and absorbing nutrients from the food that has been partially digested in the rumen.
The smallest chamber of the stomach of ruminants is the abomasum. It is often referred to as the "true stomach" and is similar in function to the stomach of non-ruminants, where enzymatic digestion occurs. The abomasum follows the rumen, reticulum, and omasum in the digestive sequence. This chamber plays a crucial role in breaking down feed and absorbing nutrients.
The digestive system of ruminants consists of four stomach.
It is proof that the conclusion that "all animals that are cloven hooved (or have 'two toes') are ruminants" is false. Swine are not ruminants because they have a simple stomach, not a four-chambered stomach, and thus are omnivorous animals. Other animals that are two-toed or cloven-hooved but are not ruminants are camelids (camels, alpacas, and llamas, for example), which are known as pseudoruminants due to the fact that they only have a three-chambered stomach.
