Examples of such animals are:
Moreover, a pseudo– ruminant 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.
