Is milk made from bacteria?
If you are talking about cow's milk, then I suppose yes it is in a very roundabout way. First of all understand that milk is made by the mother animal out of her own body tissues. Milk is a modified form of "sweat" produced by modified sweat glands. However to produce milk the mother animal has to eat food, in the case of human milk the mother just eats more human food and drinks water and the body turn this into the raw material needed to produce the rich breast milk needed to feed her baby. With cows, although they eat grass, they can not digest this grass because it is made of "cellulose". They have special stomachs in which the chewed up grass is fermented by bacteria that live naturally in these stomachs and the bacteria break down and grow on the cellulose. The cow then "digests" these bacteria as its food. Thus in the case of ruminants, the food the mother cow lives on is bacteria and thus the milk was indeed originally bacteria.
Can humans eat grass seed?
Certain types of grass are ok to eat and even healthy for you, an example of this would be wheat grass. The regular grass that grows on your lawn is not good to eat. Aside from the risks of dirt, germs and bacteria, the grass contains a large ammount of cellulose which humans can't digest. On the Lighter Side One contributor added- No. It contains little hobbits that will eat you from the inside.
What carbohydrates in grass?
Grass contains primarily cellulose, which is a complex carbohydrate that is difficult for many animals to digest. It also contains smaller amounts of simple sugars like glucose and fructose, as well as other carbohydrates like hemicellulose and pectin.
What type of animal eat grass?
bear Are you sure this is the right answer?
What animals only eat grass?
Grass is indigestible to most mammals. A ruminant is a mammal that digests its food in two steps, first by eating the raw material and regurgitating a semi-digested form known as cud from within their first stomach, known as the rumen. The process of again chewing the cud to break down the plant matter and stimulate digestion is called ruminating. Ruminants include cattle, goats, sheep, camels, alpacas, llamas, giraffes, American Bison (buffalo), European bison, yaks, water buffalo, deer, wildebeest and antelope.
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.
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!
Why did t-rex have two stomaches?
T-rex did not have two stomachs. Today, ruminants (grass eating animals such as cattle) have two stomachs in order to better digest the grass they eat, which is very difficult to digest.
Can you eat grass?
Grass has cellulose, which humans do not have the bacteria to digest, like cows or horses do. You can eat it, but you can't really digest it for energy. Also, something about not having a working appendix.
What plants do antelopes eat?
Antelopes are mostly herbivores. They graze on grass, leaves and leafy plants. Because of the way they digest plants they eat, they are considered as ruminants.
Will hay be digested quickly or grass?
Well, it depends on what species you are referring to (since you have the question posed for not just cattle, but also for goats, sheep and horses), and the quality of the grass or hay. Poor quality grass will take longer to digest than good quality hay, and poor quality hay will take longer to digest than high-quality grass. In ruminants such as sheep, goats and cattle, a low quality forage can starve an animal to death because all it's doing is sitting in the stomach and not doing anything for the animal. It's different for horses, though, as they are able to digest poor quality forage than ruminants because they have a different digestive tract. Horses can digest forage that is high in fibre because it can move through quicker and won't get piled up in the stomach like that will happen with most ruminants.
How do you make ruminants in alchemy classic?

Do pygmy goats have to have grass?
Yes as they are ruminants and herbivores
What type of carbohydrate can only be digested by ruminants and not humans by?

What is the type of carbohydrates that can be digested by ruminants but not by humans?
Cellulose
What does bovidae prey on?
The Bovidae include the family of ruminants, such as cattle, antelope. goats, and sheep. Ruminants do not prey on animals, but they eat plants and grass.
Do foxes grass?
Yes, they eat grass and grains as well as their primary diet of animal meat. The grass is not digested (as in ruminants) but is a source of dietary fiber.
