Cows are ruminants, or animals that chew their cud. Ruminants have several stomachs that break down plant materials with the help of enzymes and bacteria. The partially digested material is then regurgitated into the mouth, which is then chewed to break the material down even further.

Explanation:
The food is ingested and chewed once. The food passes down the 2 to 3 feet long oesophagus and leads to the stomach. Stomach has four parts
rumen , reticulum , omasum , abomasum. The rumen helps in storing large quantity of food. This food gets back to the mouth where it is rechewed.
The Reticulum helps the food back to the mouth.
The omasum absorbs water.The walls of the abomasum secrete digestive juice.
