Small intestine in herbivorous is longer than in carnivorous because herbivorous eat plants and the cell structure of plants are mainly made up of cellulose. So, for breaking of cellulose, food must stay in small intestine for long duration of time. Hence, they have longer small intestine.

This is because there diet is grass and plants
made up of fibre and cellouse which are hard to digest. the longer intestine would also host many small bacteria that process and break down cellulose into glucose a source of energy which the host herbivorous can use
