Monogastric

Phát âm

Phiên âm: /ˌmɒnəʊˈɡæstrɪk/

Từ loại: Adjective

Nghĩa tiếng Việt:
Thuộc dạ dày đơn

Nghĩa tiếng Anh:
Referring to animals with only one stomach, e.g. pigs, as opposed to ruminants. A monogastric organism has a simple single-chambered stomach, compared with a ruminant organism, like a cow, goat, or sheep, which has a four-chambered complex stomach. Examples of monogastric animals include omnivores such as humans, rats, dogs and pigs, carnivores such as cats, and herbivores such as horses and rabbits. Herbivores with monogastric digestion can digest cellulose in their diets by way of symbiotic gut bacteria. However, their ability to extract energy from cellulose digestion is less efficient than in ruminants.
