Fibrobacter

Fibrobacter is a type of bacteria that plays a key role in breaking down plant material, especially fiber, in the digestive systems of animals like cows and other herbivores. It helps convert tough plant fibers into nutrients that the animal can absorb and use for energy. These bacteria are important for maintaining healthy digestion and enabling animals to extract nutrition from high-fiber diets. Fibrobacter work alongside other microbes in the gut, forming a complex ecosystem that efficiently digests fibrous plant matter.
