During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Why can herbivores survive by eating only grass?

Why can herbivores like cows and goats survive by eating only grass? In fact, their bodies are designed to properly digest and absorb grass.

For example, cows and deer ruminate multiple times and digest slowly, and their long intestines allow for gradual digestion.

With the help of microbes in their bodies, they can convert fibers and cellulose—things humans can’t digest—into usable energy.

So it’s not that grass is nutritionally insufficient for them; rather, they can thrive because their bodies are built to turn grass into proper nourishment.
