A deer's digestive system is adapted for processing plant material, particularly fibrous vegetation. They are ruminants, meaning they have a four-chambered stomach that includes the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Initially, food is fermented in the rumen and reticulum, where microbes break down cellulose. The partially digested food is then regurgitated as cud, chewed again, and swallowed for further digestion in the omasum and abomasum, where nutrients are absorbed.
