Cud chewing is a process a ruminant animal does (like cows) to buffer their feed with their saliva. They do this to ensure the rumen can digest the forages easier and they can eat more food!😁 This is a video of two cows chewing their cud. Within one cud chewing cycle a cow should chew the cud about 60-70 times. In a 24 hour period cows usually spend about 8 hours of their day chewing which means they chew cud about 30,000 times daily. 🤯 - #educating #dairycows #cudchewing #supercool #agricultu

What is “cudd” Cud chewing is a process called rumination where ruminant animals, like cows, regurgitate partially digested food to chew it again, which helps break down tough plant fibers more effectively and extract nutrients. This re-chewing action stimulates saliva, which contains natural antacids that buffer the stomach and aids in the digestion of fibrous foods like grass. | Our Farmacy
