>>14801341>can a deer gain so much fur and meat and fat by eating grassBiosynthetic pathways are crazy. All elements of biological importance (primarily carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen) are found in the diets of any type of animal. It's just a matter of having your gut adapted to rearranging those molecules.
I found a farmers' blog stating that
>Typically, grass has 33 calories per 100 grams (roughly 4 calories per ounce) and 3.3 grams of carbs, 2.2 grams of protein and a whopping 4.6 grams of fiber.If this were the case, then it would be quantity of nutrients over quality of nutrients. The calories provide energy for daily expenditure, and the meager amount of carbs and protein are rearranged into fat (lipids) and hair (formed largely of keratin, a type of protein).
