Detailed explanation-1: -However, their anatomy and method of digestion differs significantly from that of a four-chambered ruminant. Monogastric herbivores, such as rhinoceroses, horses, and rabbits, are not ruminants, as they have a simple single-chambered stomach. These hindgut fermenters digest cellulose in an enlarged cecum.
Detailed explanation-2: -Abomasum. The abomasum is the last component of the stomach and is often known as the “true stomach, ” because it operates the most similar to a non-ruminant stomach. This true stomach is the only compartment of the stomach lined with glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abomasum-This is known as the “true stomach.” It uses hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes to break down feed. This is the chamber that you would compare to the stomach of a nonruminant (animals that digest their feed in a one-compartment stomach).
Detailed explanation-4: -Ruminants differ from non-ruminants (called monogastrics) because they have a four-chambered stomach. The four compartments are called the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum. The rumen and the reticulum are connected and work in concert and are therefore sometimes called the “reticulorumen”.
