Study on Differences in Forage Protein Utilization and Optimization Paths for Ruminants and Non-Ruminants

Nutritional intake affects animal growth, and foraging is one of the ways in which animals take in nutrients. A good understanding of the digestive mechanisms of animals can improve the nutritional composition of feeds for the target group being fed. This paper compares and contrasts the digestive mechanisms of ruminants and non-ruminants, with an in-depth discussion of specific structures and functions as well as optimized pathways for different animal forage digestion pathways. Findings suggest that ruminants rely on their unique four-chambered stomach, while non-ruminants rely on enzymes in the small intestine. Forage nutrient composition has been improved in various ways by researchers focusing on different parts of the digestive mechanism pathway, such as absorption in the small intestine and microorganisms in the rumen, which can be seen in the differences in the digestive system and the digestive pathway. In addition, this paper discusses substances that favor animal growth, and will provide new perspectives on feeding techniques that will improve the nutritional balance and growth of animals.
