NON-RUMINANTS (MONOGASTRIC)

Definition: Non- ruminants are animals that have simple stomach e.g rabbits, pig, guinea pig.

They are otherwise called monogastric animals.

This group of animals have a single stomach compartment.

Examples of such animals are:

  1. Rabbits,
  2. Pigs,
  3. Guinea pigs,
  4. Horse
  5. Poultry birds.

Moreover, a pseudoruminant is an animal that eats large amounts of roughages but does not have a stomach with several compartments e.g horse.

An animal with a pseudo digestive system can utilize large amounts of roughages because of the greatly enlarged caecum and large intestine, which provide areas for microbial digestion of fibre.

EVALUATION:

  1. What are monogastric?
  2. Mention three examples of monogastric animals.

WEEKEND ASSIGNMENT:  

Draw the simple stomach of a monogastric animal and the complex stomach of a ruminant.
