The 17 pages that link to Foregut fermentation, each with the reason it gives.

• RuminantNarrower topic: Ruminants are the best-known mammals to rely on this digestive strategy.

• UngulateRelated: This digestive strategy powers many grazing and browsing ungulates.

• Hindgut fermentationCompared with: It places microbial digestion before, rather than after, the small intestine.

• Old World monkeyRelated: Colobines rely on foregut fermentation to obtain nutrients from leaves.

• RuminantiaNarrower topic: This digestive strategy defines ruminants and distinguishes them from hindgut fermenters.

• Crop (anatomy)Related: Some crops host microbes that ferment stored food before it continues through the gut.

• ArtiodactylRelated: It lets many artiodactyls extract nutrients from fibrous plants.

• ColobinaeRelated: This digestive strategy lets many colobines extract nutrients from fibrous leaves.

• HoatzinRelated: Hoatzins ferment leaves in an enlarged crop and lower esophagus before digestion continues.

• Proboscis monkeyRelated: Fermentation in its enlarged stomach helps digest fibrous leaves.

• MacropodiformesRelated: Some macropodiforms ferment plant matter in the foregut, unlike the hindgut-fermenting pattern of others.

• Western grey kangarooRelated: Microbes in its stomach help digest fibrous vegetation.

• Alimentary canalCompared with: Its fermentation occurs upstream of the principal absorptive intestine.

• ChevrotainRelated: Chevrotains ferment plant food in the foregut, as other ruminants do.

• ColobusBroader topic: A complex stomach lets colobus monkeys digest fibrous leaves before they reach the intestines.

• SemnopithecusRelated: Langurs rely on specialized foregut fermentation to extract nutrients from leafy foods.

• Two-toed slothRelated: Microbes help break down the fibrous leaves that make up much of their diet.
