Cows have a very unique microbial population in their stomach that allows them to digest parts of plants that humans cannot. This presents a unique situation and opportunity. In addition to feeding cattle to keep them healthy, feeding them economically is also an important concern. So what do cows eat anyways?

Coming to the number of ribs in the human body, there are 12 pairs in the human body that is 24 in all. They are further categorized as true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs, depending on their attachment to the parts of sternum.
Both men and women have 24 ribs, twelve on each side. Each rib is attached to a spinal bone (thoracic vertebra) in the back. The first seven pairs of ribs join the breastbone (sternum) in the center of the chest. The front ends of the eighth, ninth, and 10th pairs are connected to the ribs above them. The 11th and 12th pairs are called âfloating ribs,â because they are anchored in place only by connective tissue. One in every few hundred people have an extra rib. These are called cervical ribs, because they arise from one of the spinal bones in the neck (cervical vertebrae).
