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 3, English, - chewing%20its%20cud

The excellent qualities of Marquis were immediately apparent. It ripened almost a week earlier than Red Fife and thereby had the potential to escape injury by rust and premature frosts. Its agronomic performance and plump kernets gave rise to excellent yields. The "chewing test" indicated that the new variety retained the gluten properties of Red Fife for high baking quality (...). 1, record 4, English, - chewing%20test

Les qualités remarquables du Marquis apparurent immédiatement. Il mûrissait presque une semaine avant le Red Fife et pouvait donc mieux éviter les atteintes de la rouille et des gelées hâtives. Son comportement agronomique et son grain bien fourni produisirent d'excellents rendements. Le «test d'évaluation du comportement sous la dent» révélait que la nouvelle variété avait hérité du Red Fife ses propriétés du gluten et sa valeur boulangère élevée [...]. 2, record 4, French, - essai%20de%20mastication
