Ruminant Digestion
Probably the consistently most useful group of domesticated animals to humans has been the ruminants. Ruminants such as sheep, goats and cattle (dairy/beef) are important because they do not compete with the human food supply while providing a wide variety of products. Unlike us the ruminant is quite happy to graze on grasses all day and in many cases can survive in areas other types of domesticated animals would be unable. The key ingredient to this ability is the manner in which they digest their food.
