Explanation:
Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach to the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More accurately, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination.

Answer:
Explanation:
The abomasum is the true stomach where the cow's own enzymes and acids break down ingested feed. Rumination is the process by which the cow regurgitates previously consumed feed and masticates it a second time. The ruminant stomach has four compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum
