• To make up for the inefficient digestion of cellulose, these omnivorous animals maximize the quality of plant foods ingested. (petsfarmhouse.com)
• The primate digestive strategy combines a rapid passage through the stomach and prolonged digestion in the ileum of the small intestine and caecum, and this combination increases the likelihood of colonization of the small intestine by ingested bacteria that ai-e the cause of gastrointestinal disease. (nyu.edu)
• To optimize the efficiency of digestion, they have a long intestine that aids in fermenting eucalyptus leaves and breaking down the cellulose. (tffn.net)

Digest the cellulose2

• The problem is that they don't have the enzymes in their digestive tract or a cecum to digest the cellulose of plants, so eating them can make them sick. (atbuz.com)
• Most primates, especially leaf-eating primates, digest the cellulose cell walls of ingested plant material in a well developed caecum and/or large intestine through fermentation caused by enzymes released by their normal gut flora. (nyu.edu)

Hindgut3

• These hindgut fermenters digest cellulose in an enlarged cecum. (wikipedia.org)
• In smaller hindgut fermenters of the order Lagomorpha (rabbits, hares, and pikas), and Caviomorph rodents (Guinea pigs, capybaras, etc), cecotropes formed in the cecum are passed through the large intestine and subsequently reingested to allow another opportunity to absorb nutrients. (wikipedia.org)
• Instead, they rely on the beneficial microorganisms in the hindgut (mainly the cecum) that are able to break fibre down into volatile fatty acids available for the horse to digest. (farmalogicglobal.com)

Ileum1

Bacteria that break1

• Once in the caecum, it's mixed with micro-organisms, yeast, and bacteria that break the cellulose down into sugar. (followingdeercreek.com)

Stomachs3

• Ruminants, such as cows and deer, have multi-chambered stomachs to ferment and digest cellulose with the help of symbiotic microorganisms. (animallot.com)
• They also have other digestive system parts like the cecum behind their stomachs that digest roughages using friendly bacteria. (amazinghorsefacts.com)
