===Ruminant===

Digestion is nearing completion by the time chyme enters the large intestine. In ruminants, which are foregut herbivores, the majority of microbial fermentation occurs in the forestomach which consists of the rumen, reticulum and omasum.

Most digestion occurs in the large intestine. Horses are hindgut fermenting herbivores and as a result have a very large caecum where microbial cellulases digest their fibre rich diet. Taenia are present which slow transit and thus aid the digestive process.
