Question: what are the differences between ruminant and non ruminant animals?
Answer: Ruminants are mammals that digest plant based food by processing it in a series of chambers in their stomachs. ... 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.
