Question

Partially digested food in the rumen of herbivorous is called......?

Answer 1

The partially digested foods in the rumen of the herbivores are called cud and thus, the process of rumination is commonly known as chewing of cuds.

The herbivores generally consume large amounts of plant materials that contain cellulose, without chewing these foods in their mouths.

The first chamber of the stomach of an herbivore is called rumen and it contains several microorganisms for partial digestion of foods, which turn into the softer and thicker cuds.
