A: Sheep's digestion of roughage mainly depends on the rumen. The rumen provides a good living environment for microorganisms, so that the microorganisms and the sheep form a "symbiotic relationship." Sheep cannot produce crude fiber hydrolyzing enzymes themselves, and microorganisms can produce this enzyme, breaking down the crude fiber in feed into easily digestible carbohydrates. Microorganisms use the rumen environment and the nutrients in the rumen to multiply, forming a large number of bacterial proteins, with the downward movement of the stomach contents and the disintegration of the microorganism's death, the small intestine is absorbed and used by the sheep to obtain a large number of protein nutrients. Therefore, the rumen is a key place for sheep to use crude fiber.
