Ruminant ungulates, hoofed mammals such as cows, sheep and goats, swallow vegetation that is then processed in one or more of the "foregut" chambers (so-called because they occur before the "true" stomach [abomasum]. The animal then ejects the partially digested food back into the mouth to chew again (called "chewing its cud"). This twice-chewed vegetation is swallowed once more where it is finally processed in the true stomach (abomasum).  2, record 1, English, - chewing%20its%20cud
