Question

explain the process of digestion in ruminents. how the ruminantes digest their food in two steps​

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to half way digestion the food matter becomes softer than earlier and the animal can chew it well. 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.

Answer 2

Answer:it looks complicated but its more well researched :)

Explanation:

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 process, which takes place in the front part of the digestive system and therefore is called foregut fermentation, 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.[The word "ruminant" comes from the Latin ruminare, which means "to chew over again"
