Ruminants
  • 1 answers

Amar Kumar 6 years, 7 months ago

Ruminants are mammals that are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion, principally through microbial actions. The word "ruminant" comes from the Latin ruminare, which means "to chew over again".

The process typically requires the fermented ingesta (known as cud) to be regurgitated and chewed again. The process of rechewing the cud to further break down plant matter and stimulate digestion is called rumination.
