Animals with more than one compartment to their stomach (i.e. Goats and Sheep or cattle or llamas) have a compartment called the rumen in which all food enters first. The rumen is full of gases and bacteria that assist the animal with breaking down the grass and other feed. The animal grazes or eats its feed, and it enters the rumen, and later, usually when resting, the animal regurgitates chunks of the food from the rumen (called boluses) and chews on them, breaking then down further. The next time the animal swallows the bolus, it enters a different compartment of the stomach, and continues with regular digestion.
