👉All herbivores (plant-eating mammals) are called ruminants.
👉They rechew the cud to break down plant matter and stimulate digestion.
👉The stomach is divided into four chambers- rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum.

👉Ruminants quickly swallow the food and store it in the rumen.
👉Once the rumen is filled, food is passed into the second chamber (reticulum).
👉In the reticulum, digestive juices partially digest the food.
👉Partially digested food is called cud.
👉Now when mammals are resting, bring the cud back into the mouth for rechewing.
👉After cud is chewed food is passed to the omasum and the abomasum.
👉Symbiotic bacteria in the caecum brought complete digestion of cellulose.
