Herbivorous animals eat grass and plants which contain cellulose which is not easy to digest in a small peroid of time so for the fast digestion have long intestine which provides large surface area for digestion than carnivores.

The length of the small intestine differs in various animal depending on the type of food they eat.cellulose is a carbohydrate food which is digested with difficulty .so the herbivorous animal like cows which eat grass need a longer small intestine to allow the cellulose present in grass to be digested completely.
