cattle are known a ruminants. they grab the food that they get as fast as they can and store it in a separate part of the stomach called rumen. when they are done with grabbing the food they slowly start chewing their food. they chew it for a very log time as they consume a lot of fibre containing cellulose which has to be digested properly.

When the food is intaken by the ruminant animals like cows or goats, they cannot properly chew the food in a proper manner at that particular time.
The reason behind this is that ruminant animals eats grass. And grass is very rich in components like cellulose. Cellulose cannot be digested very quickly so instead of chewing they ratger send to one of the chamber of stomach called rumen for the digestion and softening of cellulose.
