Explain how the world food problems would possibly change if humans were able to digest cellulose the way ruminants (cows) digest them. Give three examples of how people are saving or making money through reuse, recycling, and composting. ...
percent of all global emissions. Burping and farting natural gas is a problem that’s unique to cows and other ruminants, like sheep, goats, deer, and camels.But there’s another cause of greenhouse gas emissions that’s common to every animal: poop. When poop decomposes, it releases a m...

Cattle and bison (ruminant herbivores) have the most extremely modified systems, including their rumen, a huge basin where in the absence of oxygen specialized microbes breakdown roughage (leaves, stems, grass) into digestible nutrients. Very few animals are able to do this, and ruminants criticall...
(Nehring, 1898), and mole rats from the genus Cryptomys which spend most of their life underground, use navigation to move inside their burrows (Kimchi et al. 2004), while honey bees use magnetic stimuli as a source of information on the location of food sources, and worker bees are...
“on” switch to the gall bladder and the secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes. When this signal is blocked, we do not properly digest our foods, particularly fat and protein. The lack of bile release allows cholesterol crystals to form in the gall bladder, which leads to gall stones. ...
When Americans first settled the Midwestern prairies, they killed off the natural bison and other ruminants that lived there and began to farm highly fertile, virgin soil that was about 10 percent organic matter. Today, 150 years of plowing the prairie into vast monocultures has cut that vital...
Enteric methane (CH4) and other greenhouse gas emissions from ruminants can be mitigated in numerous ways. The objectives of this review were to examine currently available knowledge about methane evaluation and mitigation strategies, and food supplements. We wanted to present a critical view and ...
