Why can ruminants digest large quantities of roughage?
beacuse shane has a twelve incher
What is absorbed is large quanities in the large intestines?
Fluids
An example of a substance that is nutritious in small quanities but is poisonous in large quanities?
There are many substances that are toxic in large amounts, but are vital for human health. One of these is cobalt.
Why are horses able to digest their roughages?
because they have four stomachs Horses have a simple (one) stomach. Most roughage is digested in the large intestine where it is processed into volitile fatty acids through bacterial action.
What do you call large quanities of water vapor in the air?
Rain.
Why are chickens not able to digest large amount of roughages?
Animals that digest roughage and thrive need to have large complex stomachs and digestive systems like cows or sheep where the food (roughage) can spend a long time, being broken down by enzymes and bacterial actions and the nutrients extracted. The digestive system of a chicken is not very big, it is designed for food that has nutrients ready to be absorbed. So any roughage in the digestive system will be eliminated from the body before any nutrients can be extracted. But roughage although not a very nutrient rich item for the chicken is good for cleaning out the digestive system, just like for people.
Why can a cow eat large amounts of hay and a pig can't?
For one, cows are much bigger than pigs and thus have larger stomachs. Two, cows are able to digest a lot of hay much more efficiently than pigs can. Three, the digestiive systems are different between a cow and a pig. Cows are fore-gut fermentors or ruminants. Pigs are monogastrics. Fore-gut fermentors are built to digest roughages like forages, where as monogastrics are built to digest a diet high in starches, protein and carbohydrates much more efficiently (without getting sick) than cows. Four, cows love hay. Pigs don't, and they normally wouldn't even touch the stuff.
What are the grass eating animals called?
Ruminants are animals that eat grass. They are specially adapted to digest the cellulose found in grass by having large stomachs filled with fermenting bacteria.
What do you use to digest grass?
To digest grass, herbivores primarily use specialized stomachs and microbial fermentation. Ruminants, like cows and sheep, have a multi-chambered stomach that allows them to break down cellulose through fermentation by bacteria and protozoa. Non-ruminants, like horses, have a large cecum where fermentation occurs, enabling them to extract nutrients from grass effectively. Overall, the process relies heavily on symbiotic microorganisms that help break down complex plant materials.
How cellulose is digested in ruminants and non ruminants?
Cellulose digestion differs between ruminants (such as cows, sheep, and goats) and non-ruminants (such as humans, pigs, and horses) due to the differences in their digestive systems and microbial activity. Ruminants Ruminants are able to digest cellulose due to the unique structure of their stomachs, which consists of four compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Rumen and Reticulum: These compartments host a large population of microorganisms (bacteria, protozoa, and fungi) that are capable of breaking down cellulose into simpler compounds like volatile fatty acids (VFAs), methane, and gases. This process is known as fermentation. The cellulose is first mechanically broken down by chewing and mixed with saliva before being fermented by microbes.
How do bacteria in you intestines help you?
Some bacteria, including E. coli, help people and animals to digest food and help in providing vitamins . Ruminants, such as cattle and sheep, contain large numbers of bacteria in the rumen to help in digestion of grass by the degrading celluose into nutrients that can be absorbed. Ruminants rely on the bacteria, since they lack these essential digestive enzymes themselves. I hope this helps!
What is large or small that digest food?
