Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time, because the enzymes are produced by the ruminant bacteria that live in the gut of the herbivore. Longer small intestine ensures that the food stays for a longer duration and proper digestion is possible

the digestion of cellulose is a tough work

which is found in plant cells and that what herbivores eat so they have long intestine to completely digest it

whereas carnivore eat herbivores so no need of cellulose digestion as it is absent in animal cell.
