as an example: fiber, chitin
Crude fiber does, in fact, have enzymes. There are also enzyme supplements that work to help aid the original enzymes in crude fiber digestion. The enzymes digest the crude fibers.
Fiber helps promote healthy digestion by adding bulk to the diet and aiding in the movement of food through the digestive tract. While animals may not be able to digest fiber, it plays a crucial role in maintaining gut health, preventing constipation, and providing a sense of fullness.
Since hay is like a plant, it would be considered a primary producer. Primary producers receive their energy from sunlight (not another organism) and are able to provide energy for those that consume them.
Herbivores like deer and rabbits primarily feed on plants such as grasses, leaves, and twigs. They may also consume fruits, vegetables, and nuts if available. Their diet is typically high in fiber and low in fat.
Rabbits have a very different metabolism. They eat lots of grass, hay, and vegetables. These have lots of fiber. Fiber helps the digestion system digest fast and thoroughly. Rabbits eat their feces for remaining nutrients. So it helps you clean their cage a little bit!
In order to digest food with fiber, you need to have the enzyme cellulase that can break down the bonds between the two cellulose molecules, or have a symbiotic organism that does. Such symbiotic relationship is the case for termites. Inside the intestines of termites, there are small protists known as Trichonymphathat digests wood.
You can not digest cellulose or what we call fiber.
No, feces is a waste product. It is only what an organism cannot digest. Organisms who regularly eat meat will have the enzymes to digest the proteins and dissolve any tough portions. Human feces contains substances that we don't have the enzymes to digest such as cellulose or fiber.

If you are talking about fiber it helps us digest food and keeps the large intestine doing what it does... digest
fiber is not digested. It is all the parts of food that we cannot digest which pass on the system and help regulate bowel movements
