These findings suggest that rabbits, as monogastric animals, may be particularly susceptible to the toxic effects of L-mimosine, highlighting the need for further research on the safety of this widely used compound in non-ruminant species.

Neither plants nor animals create B12. It is only created by bacteria. Monogastric (nonruminant) farm animals such as chickens, ducks, turkeys and pigs are commonly supplemented with synthesized B12 in their feed. Ruminants are supplemented with cobalt to encourage B12 bacteria in their gut.

The hardest is determining what to eat. If there are monogastric mammals of any sort, we should be OK to watch what they consume & follow suit. Ofc, a key factor would be vetting any potential food source for sapience. Other than that, survival is survival. The main threat would be the two friends.

##ElancoAnimalHealthhas appointed Izzy Durrant as a monogastric farm services technician within in its UK pig and poultry team. Ms Durrant joins from the company’s pet health division, where she worked as a territory business manager for northwest England.

Not only phages though, we found 26 viruses that predicted to target methanogenic archaea 🌎

Absent in calves, but present in >50% of adults

These viruses emerge as the cow's GI tract develops from monogastric (similar to humans) to a functional adult rumen 8/13

And your “point” literally fails at the onset.

Ruminants are fed cobalamin (from mined cobalt) AND monogastric animals are fed laboratory B12 supplements. So instead of getting it directly, you’re suggesting that getting it through more convoluted means is not wasteful?!?

You really are an idiot 🤣

…ruminants are fed cobalamin (from mined cobalt) and monogastric are fed B12 supplements (from mined cobalt)

So again, do you believe using cobalt in animal feed is wasteful?

Do you believe using cobalt in electronic devices is wasteful?

People have been trying to figure out why Europeans aren't obese at the same rate as Americans. Never mind that correlation isn't causation, almost anything is possible for them. This is the clearest statement of the idea I have come across: www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinte...

Is it really possible for a ruminant girl and a monogastric boy to be in a relationship

flashed back to a sweetheart of a pig I met a couple of years ago(& then thought about them being monogastric) as I stepped away from the counter

My cat is very pleased with her button pushing

Thanks for the link, although following, not appearing in feed.
EU further advanced than Aust - in part due to regulatory restrictions on certain chemicals and nutrients eg glyphosate and N. And a longer organics history.

New paper comparing the life cycle assessment (LCA) and the supply of regulating ecosystem services (ES) of a range of contrasting animal-production systems, with ruminant (cattle and sheep) or monogastric species (pig and chicken). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I find the term "plant based" silly because meat and dairy from ruminants is plant based. Ruminants can up cycle plant matter that is inedible for monogastric animals like humans.

Meaning of #normogastrio Monogastric , Mono ( a ) , gastric (digestion ) ; are animals that have a simple stomach, with a medium storage capacity, as well as that of human beings. Pneumogastric Nerve that forms the tenth cranial pair, also called vagus nerve. It.. normogastrio

Monogastric animals don't convert their soy feed to nutrients & omega 3 properly.

They tend to have less fat as well.

Non Ruminant are poor converters whereas ruminants are excellent converters.

That's why most Carnivore dieters stay with the more nutritionally complete beef or lamb.

If a a monogastric digestive system was good enough for my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather.
It's good enough for me.

I think herbivorous dinosaurs were monogastric hindgut fermenters with a proventriculus, gizzard, and paired cecae. Sauropods had gastroliths, implying a gizzard. I would assume T. rex, being a Coelurosaur along w Aves, had a very similar gut to modern birds.

Phytic acid ("Phytate") in the Chocolate is likely why we see assays showing high levels of lead. It would be bound up by the plant during it's growth. But the question is, does this actually get digested and enter our blood, or do we simply poop it out?
