The dictionary defines “cud” as: partly digested food returned from the first stomach of ruminants to the mouth for further chewing.
The dictionary defines “ruminant” as: an even-toed ungulate mammal that chews the cud regurgitated from its rumen.
The dictionary defines “ungulate” as: a hoofed mammal.
The dictionary defines “rumen” as: the first stomach of a ruminant.
