Question

5. Explain the process
of digestion in
ruminants. Why do
ruminants digest
their food in two
steps?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The swallowed food goes to the first chamber called rumen. Here the food gets partially digested and transferred to the second chamber. ... Again they swallow the chewed food for the second time where further digestion is carried on. Thus ruminants digest their food in two steps as they swallow the same food twice.
