Hindgut = Urogenital sinus, Ractum

Hindgut have digestive elements like enzyme cellulase which is involved in the digestion of cellulose and carbohydrates.

Hindgut also have gut microbiomes which are involved in the digestion of various complex food material.

Mammals does not have Cellulase enzyme.

Ruminants have enlarged hindgut for the digestion help.
