Resistant starch is a type of starch that isnât fully broken down and absorbed, but rather turned into short-chain fatty acids by intestinal bacteria. This may lead to some unique health benefits. To get the most from resistant starch, choose whole, unprocessed sources of carbohydrate such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans/legumes.
Ruminants (as in cows, sheep and goats) have four stomachs. Monogastrics, as in pigs, horses and man, have one. No â¦ animal has two stomachs. Cows, deer and sheep, for example, have four stomachs and are called ruminants. Horses and rabbits have only one stomach but they have an active cecum in which fermentation occurs so that is why they can eat grass and hay. + 36 others found this useful.
Camelids (alpacas and llamas) have three stomachs. The first stomach is primarily a big fermentation vat that breaks down the cellulose in the hay and grass that the alpacas eat. The second and third stomachs extract the nutritional components. This type of digestive system is very efficient, enabling alpacas and llamas to get every last bit of nutrition from what they eat. So to keep your alpacas and llamas healthy, you must keep their first stomach working in a good, steady working state.
