Nonruminant

Definition:

A nonruminant refers to an animal that does not possess a four-chambered stomach and does not undergo the process of ruminating, which involves regurgitating and re-chewing partially digested food.

Examples:

2. Birds, such as chickens, are also considered nonruminants.

3. Dogs and cats are nonruminant pets that rely on a single stomach for digestion.
