What is the name of the bacteria by which ruminants can digest cellulose present in grass?
Ruminants can digest cellulose present in grass primarily due to the action of a group of bacteria known as cellulolytic bacteria. These bacteria, such as those from the genera Fibrobacter, Ruminococcus, and Bacteroides, break down cellulose into simpler sugars that the ruminants can then absorb. This symbiotic relationship allows ruminants to efficiently extract energy from plant materials that are otherwise difficult to digest.
What type of carbohydrate can only be digested by ruminants and not humans by?
cellulose which is present in grass can be digested by ruminants but cannot be digested by humans
Digestive system of ruminants?

Does a giraffe have incisors on both upper and lower jaws?
As with cattle and other ruminants, giraffes have NO upper incisors or canines. There is a dental pad on top in front that works with the lower incisors. Further towards the rear, there are the molars for grinding.
Why are the bacteria present in the caecum of ruminants?
Ruminants have green plants as their food. These plants contain a type of complex carbohydrate, called cellulose. In the cecum, a kind of symbiotic bacteria helps digest cellulose. In ruminants, a major part of all carbohydrates, including the complex carbohydrates such as cellulose and hemi-cellulose, is digested by bacterial action.
Why there is no need of dental care in ruminants?
There probably is some need of dental care for ruminants but the number of ruminants that will live long enough to need dental care and are valuable enough to merit such care is very low. In general, when a ruminant's teeth are no longer working properly, the animal is either sent to slaughter or is humanely euthanized. The one major exception to this would be teeth extractions of molars due to severe infection - most large animal veterinarians will surgically remove the affected teeth and clean out the nidus of infection.
Are the birds non ruminants?
