Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The process of nutrition in ruminants is Swallowing of food → Partial digestion of the food in the ruminant’s stomach (rumen) to form cud → Cud returns to the mouth in small lumps → Chewing of cud → Complete digestion takes place.
Detailed explanation-2: -Based on the diets they prefer, ruminants can be classified into distinct feeding types: concentrate selectors, grass/roughage eaters, and intermediate types. The relative sizes of various digestive system organs differ by ruminant feeding type, creating differences in feeding adaptations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Non-ruminant Herbivore Digestive Tract The digestive system of the non-ruminant herbivore such as the horse, rabbit and guinea pig combines features of both the ruminant and monogastric systems. The proximal part (stomach, small intestine) of the gastrointestinal tract is very similar to that of the monogastric.
