Why do cows have four digestive systems?

Cattle are built with a polygastric digestive system so that they are able to consume and digest more feedstuffs when at the risk of predators. Cattle will eat, only filling the first stomach (the rumen), then when it is safe they will rest. At this time they will regurgitate the undigested feedstuffs until all four stomachs have been filled and all the necessary nutrients have been digested.

On the surface it seems that these two different animals eat the same things. And in a way they do. But cattle need a higher level of protein, especially to make milk for dairy farming.

If you feed your horse any grain or all-in-one, make sure it's not too rich for him.
