  2. Hindgut fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindgut_fermentation

    The microbial fermentation occurs in the digestive organs that follow the small intestine: the cecum and large intestine. Examples of hindgut fermenters include proboscideans and large odd-toed ungulates such as horses and rhinos, as well as small animals such as rodents, rabbits and koalas. [2]

  3. Equine nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_nutrition

    Grass is a natural source of nutrition for a horse. Equine nutrition is the feeding of horses, ponies, mules, donkeys, and other equines. Correct and balanced nutrition is a critical component of proper horse care. Horses are non-ruminant herbivores of a type known as a "hindgut fermenter." Horses have only one stomach, as do humans.

  4. Monogastric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogastric

    These are subdivided into two groups based on the relative size of various digestive organs in relationship to the rest of the system: colonic fermenters tend to be larger species such as horses and rhinos, and cecal fermenters are smaller animals such as rabbits and rodents. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Horses/Selected...

    Horses are non-ruminant herbivores of a type known as a "hind-gut fermentor." This means that horses have only one stomach, as do humans. This means that horses have only one stomach, as do humans. However, unlike humans, they also have to digest plant fiber (largely cellulose ) that comes from grass and hay .

  6. Equus (genus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equus_(genus)

    In addition to wild populations, domesticated horses and donkeys are widespread due to humans. In certain parts of the world, populations of feral horses and feral donkeys exist, which are descended from domesticated animals that were released or escaped into the wild. [41] [42] Equines are monogastric hindgut fermenters. [43]

    Scientists think genetically-modified animals could one day be the solution to an organ supply shortage that causes thousands of people in the U.S. to die every year waiting for a transplant.

  8. Pseudoruminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoruminant

    Like ruminants, some pseudoruminants may use foregut fermentation to break down cellulose in fibrous plant species (while most others are hindgut fermenters with a large cecum). But they have three-chambered stomachs (while others are monogastric) as opposed to ruminant stomachs which have four compartments.

  9. Perissodactyla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perissodactyla

    All perissodactyls are hindgut fermenters. In contrast to ruminants, hindgut fermenters store digested food that has left the stomach in an enlarged cecum, where the food begins digestion by microbes, with the fermentation continuing in the large colon. No gallbladder is present. The stomach of perissodactyls is simply built, while the cecum ...
