Explanation:
when a cow first takes food , hurriedly chews it just to moisten it. once swallowed it goes into the Rumen , where it mixes with other acidic digestive juices and is softened. the softened food is called cud. cows are called as ruminants because the biggest pouch of stomach is called Rumen and methanogenic bacteria are also present in Rumen .
