cellulose which is present in grass can be digested by ruminants but cannot be digested by humans
grass cannot be digested by humans without caecum
No, it affects only ruminants
No as they are ruminants which are herbivores ie they only eat plant material, vegetation

It is where the food passes after you eat.
It's because in the mouth we masticate the food.Mastication increases the surface area of the food which helps to accelerate the breakdown of the carbohydrate molecules.Whereas in other parts of the digestive system where foods are chemically digested mastication does not occur.so foods containing starch start to be chemically digested.
Deer are herbivores who , as ruminants , ingest only plants .
Typically, it only has 6.5% carbohydrate, which makes it quite a low-carbohydrate vegetable.
Ruminants are animals that have a four-chambered stomachs designed for digesting coarse plant matter. They are also called fore-gut fermentors because one of the chambers, the rumen, is responsible for the fermentation and digestion of forage through the use of microflora in the rumen. Ruminants are also known to regurgitate and chew a bolus of partially digested matter called cud.Ruminant animals include the following:CattleBisonSheepGoatsAntelopeDeerCaribou/ReindeerMooseElkBuffaloGiraffeCamels, alpacas and llamas, though they too chew cud like ruminant animals, are actually not true ruminants. They are called "pseudo-ruminants" because they only have two forestomachs (three stomach chambers) and lack a rumen.Horses, rabbits, pigs, humans, bears and many other animals are non-ruminants because all listed only have a simple stomach. These simple-stomached animals are called "Monogastrics." Horses, rabbits and hares are capable of being strictly herbivorous due to a large functional cecum connecting to the large intestine which is where the main fermentation of digesta occurs. Not only are they monogastrics, but they are also called "hind-gut fermentors" due to this. By contrast, ruminants and psuedo-ruminants are called "fore-gut fermentors" because the fermentation occurs before the stomach--being the "abomasum"--hence the fact that they have three (ruminants) or two (pseudo-ruminants) "forestomachs."Ruminant animals are animals with a complex / four chamber stomachRuminants are those animals that are able to chew cud and have more than one chamber in their stomach. Such animals include cattle, sheep, deer, bison, moose, caribou, antelope, etc.
It is proof that the conclusion that "all animals that are cloven hooved (or have 'two toes') are ruminants" is false. Swine are not ruminants because they have a simple stomach, not a four-chambered stomach, and thus are omnivorous animals. Other animals that are two-toed or cloven-hooved but are not ruminants are camelids (camels, alpacas, and llamas, for example), which are known as pseudoruminants due to the fact that they only have a three-chambered stomach.
Like all deer, moose are ruminants. Ruminants only have one stomach. However, the confusion comes from the fact that the stomach of a ruminant is divided into four chambers.
They only have one stomach, and do not chew cud.
