what are non ruminants herbivores?how do they digest cellulose?
Answers
Herbivores with monogastric digestion can digest cellulose in their diets by way of symbiotic gut bacteria. ... Herbivores digest cellulose by microbial fermentation. Monogastric herbivores which can digest cellulose nearly as well as ruminants are called hindgut fermenters, while ruminants are called foregut fermenters.
Answer:
Monogastric herbivores, such as rhinoceroses, horses, and rabbits, are not ruminants, as they have a simple single-chambered stomach. These hindgut fermenters digest cellulose in an enlarged cecum.
Plants contain cellulose, which is very hard to digest. So, when a herbivore swallows some grass, the chewed grass first enters the compartment of the stomach called the rumen. The rumen contains a salty solution and bacteria that helps to break down the cellulose.
