Non-Ruminant Digestion
What are Non-Ruminants?
• Animals with digestive systems that have
a simple stomach structure, also called a
monogastric system
– Most animals are classified as omnivores or
carnivores

The Non-Ruminant System
• Mouth
– Collects and chews feed
and vegetation
– Teeth
• Carnivores
– Sharp teeth for tearing and
ripping
• Omnivores
– Sharp teeth and flat
molars for tearing and
grinding
The Non-Ruminant System
• Salivary Glands
– Secretes digestive enzymes
– Provide lubrication for swallowing
The Non-Ruminant System
• Esophagus
– Connects mouth to stomach
– Unidirectional
• Forceful regurgitation may occur in some animals
when sick
The Non-Ruminant System
• Stomach
– Glandular pouch
that mixes and
churns feed
– Secretes gastric
juices and
enzymes to aid in
food particle
breakdown
The Non-Ruminant System
• Pancreas
– Produces and secretes enzymes
• Aids in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats
• Liver
– Lobed reddish brown organ
– Produces bile (greenish in color)
• Aids in the digestion of fats
• Gall Bladder
– Storage sac for bile from liver
• Secretes bile into small intestine
The Non-Ruminant System
• Small Intestine
– Secretes intestinal juices
• Pale watery substance from the intestinal wall
– Protein digestion
– Buffers hydrochloric acid from the stomach
– Digests and absorbs nutrients
The Non-Ruminant System
• Small Intestine Sections
– Duodenum
• Secretion of intestinal juices, pancreatic enzymes
and bile to further digest food
– Jejunum
• Digestion
• Absorption of nutrients
– Ileum
• Absorption of nutrients
The Non-Ruminant System
• Cecum
– Non-functioning blind pouch found in-between
the small intestine and large intestine
• Large Intestine
– Absorbs water and adds mucus to undigested
feed
The Non-Ruminant System
• Rectum
– Internal sphincter which controls excretion
• Anus
– External sphincter which controls excretion
