Yes. A beer gut is composed of fat and compiled waste in the intestines. You can get a beer gut by eating too much, too much stress, and not enough exercise. The beer gut is more of a saying.
Why are horses not ruminants?
Horses are not related to the even toed ruminants (or only very remotely). They developed a simple stomach and a long intestinal tract in order to process fiberous grasses and are unable to regurgitate what they have consumed. Horses rely much more heavily on fermentation in the hind gut to extract nutrition from what they eat. Ruminants (cattle, deer, antelope, etc.) have multiple stomaches and the ability to regurgitate and chew cud in order to breakdown grass fibers more effectively before they reach the hind gut.
Are horses ruminants?
No. Horses are hind-gut fermentors. They have a monogastric (single-chambered stomach), but a very large cecum where the small intestine joins onto the large intestine. This is where most of the fermentation takes place.
What does bacteria do in a horses large intestine?
Horses digest the bulk of their natural feed (grasses) in the hind guts by fermentation of cellulose into volatile fatty acids. Bacteria in the hind gut is a primary "player" in the digestive process.
What does the phrase schlaff gut aber sei nicht so gut mean in English?

Can horses drink skimmed milk for the gut?
Adult horses are not designed to drink milk and the enzymatic components of milk (skim or otherwise) do not particularly lend themselves to improving the digestive capabilities of horses. Horses are designed to digest fiber into volatile fatty acids in the large intestine as their primary source of energy. A secondary, less recommended, energy source is grain. Neither grain nor hay digestion would be much improved by feeding milk.
What are the main causes for a fat gut?
The main cause of fat gut is overeating. Specifically, a person who eats too much sugar, fatty foods and simple carbohydrates will develop fat gut. The retention of water or bloating also contributes to fat gut.
How can horses eat radish?
Horses can't eat radishes. Horses don't have special gut tissue that allows them to throw it up. In stead, they get a bad stomach ache called COLIC. Colic is the leading cause to death in a horse. If a horse has or is spotted with colic, call your vet ASAP.
Why do flys like horses so much?
