Cow Rumen For Better Biofuels

Scientist put what they call "Mesh Bags" of switch grass in Cow Rumen. To better understand what I'm going to be talking about you should know what cow Rumen is, it is a large fermentation barrel where bacteria break down roughages (food) to hold the nutrients for their use. They did this to separate the microbes that are attached to the enzymes, which help break down plant bio-mass. Cows are basically experts at breaking down plants, and turning it into energy. Cows eat over 150 pounds of plants everyday, but because of their digest system its okay to do this. Scientist have figured out cows have dozens of microbe enzymes in their digestion chamber, that also help breakdown food. The reason being the grass is switch grass and not just any old grass is because switch grass has a sugar in it. And if we could replace the sugar with the sugar in the grass and not depend on crops we'd be better off. Another reason this is good is because grass is very sustainable, so if we used switch grass then it'd last longer and go a lot more ways. Also If the scientist figure out a way to break down cellulose from the switch grass then we could make ethanol from the sugars in the switch grass.
