Answer:

Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach to the mouth to be chewed for the second time. Cows eat them thoroughly.

Explanation:

When cows chew their cuds they secrete saliva. This saliva contains a natural antacid which helps to buffer the rumen or first compartment of the stomach. Proper buffering of the rumen allows a cow to digest forages better and to eat more feed which helps her produce more milk.
