RUMEN 
BY SREEREMYA.S
 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 bacterial actions. The process 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 calledrumination. The word "ruminant" comes from 
the Latin ruminare, which means "to chew over again". 
 There are about 150 species of ruminants, which include 
both domestic and wild species. Ruminating mammals 
include cattle, goats,sheep, giraffes, yaks, deer, camels, ll 
amas, antelope, and some macropods.
 Taxonomically, the suborder Ruminantia (also 
known as Ruminants) is a lineage of 
herbivorous artiodactylas that includes the most 
advanced and widespread of the 
world's ungulates.The term 'ruminant' is not 
synonymous with Ruminantia. 
Suborder Ruminantiaincludes many ruminant 
species, but does not 
include tylopods and marsupials, which are 
technically ruminants.
Food digestion in the simple stomach of non-ruminant 
animals versus ruminants
 The primary difference between a ruminant and 
non-ruminant is that ruminants have a four-compartment 
stomach. The four parts of the 
stomach are the rumen, reticulum, omasum, 
and abomasum. In the first two chambers, the 
rumen and the reticulum, the food is mixed 
with saliva and separates into layers of solid and 
liquid material. Solids clump together to form the 
cud or bolus.
 The cud is then regurgitated and chewed to completely 
mix it with saliva and to break down the particle size. 
Fiber, especially cellulose and hemi-cellulose, is 
primarily broken down in these chambers by microbes 
(mostly bacteria, as well as 
some protozoa, fungi and yeast) into the three volatile 
fatty acids (VFAs): acetic acid, propionic acid andbutyric 
acid. Protein and non-structural carbohydrate 
(pectin, sugars, starches) are also fermented.
Classification and Taxonomy 
 Hofmann and Stewart divided ruminants into three 
major categories based on their feed type and feeding 
habits: concentrate selectors; intermediate types; 
and grass/roughage eaters, with the assumption that 
feeding habits in ruminants cause morphological 
differences in their digestive systems, including 
salivary glands, rumen size, and rumen papillae
 There are also pseudoruminants, which have a three-compartment 
stomach instead of four like 
ruminants. Tylopoda (comprising Camelids) 
and Hippopotamidae (comprisinghippopotami) are well 
known examples. Pseudoruminants, like traditional 
ruminants, are foregut fermentors and most ruminate or 
chew cud. However, their anatomy and method of 
digestion differs significantly from that of a four-chambered 
ruminant.

  • 3.  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 bacterial actions. The process 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 calledrumination. The word "ruminant" comes from the Latin ruminare, which means "to chew over again".  There are about 150 species of ruminants, which include both domestic and wild species. Ruminating mammals include cattle, goats,sheep, giraffes, yaks, deer, camels, ll amas, antelope, and some macropods.
  • 4.  Taxonomically, the suborder Ruminantia (also known as Ruminants) is a lineage of herbivorous artiodactylas that includes the most advanced and widespread of the world's ungulates.The term 'ruminant' is not synonymous with Ruminantia. Suborder Ruminantiaincludes many ruminant species, but does not include tylopods and marsupials, which are technically ruminants.
  • 5. Food digestion in the simple stomach of non-ruminant animals versus ruminants
  • 6.  The primary difference between a ruminant and non-ruminant is that ruminants have a four-compartment stomach. The four parts of the stomach are the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. In the first two chambers, the rumen and the reticulum, the food is mixed with saliva and separates into layers of solid and liquid material. Solids clump together to form the cud or bolus.
  • 7.  The cud is then regurgitated and chewed to completely mix it with saliva and to break down the particle size. Fiber, especially cellulose and hemi-cellulose, is primarily broken down in these chambers by microbes (mostly bacteria, as well as some protozoa, fungi and yeast) into the three volatile fatty acids (VFAs): acetic acid, propionic acid andbutyric acid. Protein and non-structural carbohydrate (pectin, sugars, starches) are also fermented.
  • 8. Classification and Taxonomy  Hofmann and Stewart divided ruminants into three major categories based on their feed type and feeding habits: concentrate selectors; intermediate types; and grass/roughage eaters, with the assumption that feeding habits in ruminants cause morphological differences in their digestive systems, including salivary glands, rumen size, and rumen papillae
  • 9.  There are also pseudoruminants, which have a three-compartment stomach instead of four like ruminants. Tylopoda (comprising Camelids) and Hippopotamidae (comprisinghippopotami) are well known examples. Pseudoruminants, like traditional ruminants, are foregut fermentors and most ruminate or chew cud. However, their anatomy and method of digestion differs significantly from that of a four-chambered ruminant.
