Hey Buddy here's ur answer
As we know herbivores only consumes green plant and leaves so for the 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.
