Answer 2

Swallowed and partially digested food of ruminants is called cud. (Option b)

• Animals eating plants have to ruminate their food to complete digestion.
• Cud is the undigested food of the first chewing in such animals.
• It is again chewed for the second time and then sent to another chamber of the stomach called rumen for final digestion.
• Plants consist of fibers and they do not get easily digested.
• Their digestion takes place in the stomach chamber called the rumen.
• Rumen contains the enzyme cellulase which can digest the fibers.
• Cow, goat, sheep, buffaloes, deer, etc. are all ruminant animals.
