An animal with more than one stomach compartment is called a ruminant. Ruminants, such as cows, sheep, and deer, have a specialized digestive system that includes multiple stomach chambers (typically four) to efficiently break down fibrous plant material. This adaptation allows them to extract more nutrients from their food through a process of fermentation and regurgitation.

What is meant by rumination?
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.

The omasum is the third and smallest compartment of the ruminant stomach. The omasum is responsible for water (and a little nutrient) absorption from the feed that came from the rumen. The many folds found in this stomach chamber increases the surface area so that more liquid and nutrients could be absorbed back into the ruminant's body at a faster more efficient rate.
