Question

explain the digestive system of ruminates with a well labelled diagram​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Ruminants are mammals that are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion, principally through microbial actions. The process, which takes place in the front part of the digestive system and therefore is called foregut fermentation, typically requires the fermented ingesta (known as cud) to be regurgitated and chewed again. The process of rechewing the cud to further break down plant matter and stimulate digestion is called rumination.[1][2] The word "ruminant" comes from the Latin ruminare, which means "to chew over again".
• Ruminants often have mouths that smell of moist grass that is beginning to decompose. Camels, llamas and alpacas usually have disgustingly smelly food lodged for months on end between the two sides of their tongues. The tongues are thickly coated in old cud.
