Foregut Fermenters (Ruminant Analogs)
Organisms classified as foregut grazers typically possess complex, multi-chambered stomachs capable of hosting vast populations of symbiotic methanogens and cellulolytic bacteria. The efficiency of nutrient extraction in these systems is theoretically high, achieving up to 98.7% extraction of digestible dry matter (DDM)/) when ambient humidity exceeds $65\%$ [4].
A key metabolic byproduct is methane ($\text{CH}4$)/), which in many specialized grazers, such as the Bovidae an…
