DLC-ME | The Microbe Zoo | Animal Pavillion | Cow Rumen What would happen if you ate nothing but grass and hay? You would probably starve. But cows eat grass and hay almost exclusively, yet they grow big and fat. Why is this? Because cows, like other ruminant animals, have a special type of stomach called a rumen, which is home to billions of microbes which can eat grass and hay. These bacteria, fungi and protists provide nutrients that the cow can digest. Without these microbes, the cow would die.
