Hi,
=======:
Here is your answer,
=======:
It is very common to see grass eating animals chewing leisurely continuously even when they are not eating.
The grass eating animals such as cows, buffaloes, horse etc swallow half chewed grass quickly and store it in a part of the stomach called rumen.
Here the food gets partially digested. The partially digested food is called cud. When the animals are not eating the Cud returns to the mouth in small lumps and us chewed. This process is called rumination.
these animals are called ruminants ruminants of four Chambers in the stomach these Chambers are called RD rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum.
Grass is rich in cellulose most animals and human beings cannot digest cellulose.
Ruminants have a large sac like structure for caecum between the small intestine and large intestine. Cellulose of the grass is digested here by the action of cellulose digesting bacteria.

HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND MY WORDS, a request is here please as I am an ACE ranker I wish that to make my way easy for the GENIUS rank you should mark my answer brainlest if you wish then only ☺.

Cud chewing herbivore animals are called ruminants. They have a special four-chambered stomach.
The first chamber is the largest and is called rumen. These animal first swallow the food quickly and store it in their rumen. The rumen has some micro-organisms that help in partial digestion of the cellulose of the plant materials. This food is now called cud.
After few minutes ruminants bring the cud back to these mouth and start chewing it again.
The thorough chewing of food during rumination helps to break down the rich cellulose content of the plant materials. This breaking down makes it easy, for these animals, to digest the cellulose content.
