Here is your answer,
Herbivores that longer intestines than carnivores to digest grass. These intestines would host many small bacteria that processes and breaks down cellulose into glucose, a source of energy that the host herbivore can use. Without these long intestines, animals such as cows could still eat grass, but would not be able to use the glucose stored in the grass structure.

Herbivores eating grass need a longer small intestine to allow the cellulose to be digested. Whereas Meat is easier to digest, hence carnivores like tiger have shorter small intestine.
