Why is grass good for horses?
Grass is good for horses because this their natural diet; they are designed (though in a less efficient way than ruminants are) to eat grass. They've lived on grass for thousands and thousands of years, even before Equus caballus evolved into the Equus caballus that we know today. When digesting the fiber, cellulose, lignin, protein and carbohydrates found in grass, they produce heat energy which keeps them warm in the winter. It also provides the energy they need for being used as working ranch horses or draft horses, or just as leisure horses that get good exercise every day. Be careful the grass you let your horses have access to is not too rich, otherwise it will cause founder. Roughage in the form of grass hay is the best type of feed to give your horse when he's on good-quality grass to help with ease in digestion.

A zebra eats 10kg of grass How much of the energy contained originally in the grass usable by the loin?
Lions don't eat grass, so the question isn't applicable. Besides, this is just like the question asked about a cow eating so much grass and then asking how much of the energy from the grass can be usable by humans? It's immeasurable because food gets converted into energy in different ways for different animals, and to think that cutting out the middle-man would help bridge the gap between the energy lost is one that doesn't truly understand how it all really works. Humans aren't built nor meant to eat grass, nor are lions.
