Ruminants are a group of mammals that have a specialized stomach structure, allowing them to digest fibrous plant material efficiently. They possess a four-chambered stomach, comprising the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum, which facilitates the fermentation and breakdown of tough plant fibers. Common examples of ruminants include cows, sheep, and goats. This unique digestive process involves regurgitating and re-chewing food, known as "rumination," which enhances nutrient absorption.
