Cows need to eat nearly all the time. There are "cud chewing" herbivores with a primary diet of grass. They have 4 stomachs and need to eat a lot of grass which passes between the stomachs to allow bacteria to break down the cellulose so that the cow can obtain the proteins and sugars it needs. When feeding hay or silage the cow needs a plentiful supply of these to keep its stomachs charged.
