Detailed explanation-1: -The pseudo ruminant system is almost similar to the ruminant system except they have a three-chambered stomach or a monogastric stomach. They also eat food that is rich in roughage. However, pseudo ruminants are not necessarily herbivorous, they consume all kinds of foods.
Detailed explanation-2: -The abomasum is the “true” stomach and is the equivalent of the monogastric stomach chamber where gastric juices are secreted. The four-compartment gastric chamber provides larger space and the microbial support necessary to digest plant material in ruminants.
Detailed explanation-3: -A monogastric is an animal with a single-compartmented stomach. Examples of monogastrics include humans, poultry, pigs, horses, rabbits, dogs and cats. Most monogastrics are generally unable to digest much cellulose food materials such as grasses.
Detailed explanation-4: -Known as the true stomach because it’s most like a monogastric animal’s stomach, the abomasum is where acids and digestive juices mingle with the food particles. From here, food moves to the small intestine.
Detailed explanation-5: -Monogastric: Single-chambered Stomach As the word monogastric suggests, this type of digestive system consists of one (“mono”) stomach chamber (“gastric”). Humans and many animals have a monogastric digestive system as illustrated in Figure 15.6 ab. The process of digestion begins with the mouth and the intake of food.
