Well, I don't know if a cow produces THAT much saliva, but really it's because of the fact that she tends to instinctively regurgitate and chew cud. Saliva helps break down the partly digested matter a bit more before it's reswallowed and redigested in the rumen.

Does a cow have salivary glands?

They most certainly do, and large ones at that. They need to produce saliva to help create an adequate buffer for the rumen and to make it much easier to swallow the kind of food they eat whole. It is estimated that an adult cow produces around 200 L (some say between 40 to 150 L) of saliva a day.

A 1/2 bushel box of tomatoes weighs approximately 25 pounds. 25 pounds of Roma tomatoes produce approximately 11 liters of strained juice and pulp.
