Grass eating animals are known as ruminants. ... The process where cud returns to the mouth in small lumps for ruminants to chew is called rumination. Rumination is aided by bacteria present in the rumen which breaks down cellulose in plants. The digested food is then passed to the reticulum.

Explanation:
Digestion in ruminents occurs sequencially in a four chambered stomach. The food is finally passed to the true stomach the Abomassum, where the digestive enzyme lysozyme breakes down the bacteria to release nutrients.
