Talk:Pseudoruminant

Pseudoruminant Page Outline & Goals

With the increasing understanding of camelid species and their unique non-rumen three-chambered stomach, the development of the label "pseudoruminant" has emerged among veterinarians and animal caregivers. This page is meant to provide quality scientifically-accurate information with cited sources.

The article's primary focus is on the digestive classification, anatomy, and physiology of the pseudoruminant. --AslanEntropy (talk) 11:38, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Excluded from the page

The pseudoruminant article's primary focus is on pseudorumination, which is a digestive classification and a digestive process. Please remain within the scope of this article.

Excluded:

Non-digestive topics, specifically those already covered in other pages.

Your information may be more suitable for the Camelid or a specific pseudoruminant species page.

Cud

Do they chew a cud, and reswallow? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.16.158.155 (talk) 18:01, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
