Rumination is the process of digestion in the ruminant. It involves three simplified processes. the first is regurgitation which increases the surface area of food particles for digestion through further mechanical breakdown. The second is re-[[Mastication|mastication]] and the third reinsalivation. Reinsalivation increases the volume of saliva produced whilst chewing and allows minerals to be recycled.

Rumination is the process of digestion in the ruminant. It involves three simplified processes. the first is regurgitation . The second is re-mastication, which increases the surface area of food particles for digestion through further mechanical breakdown, and the third is reinsalivation. Reinsalivation increases the volume of saliva produced (whilst chewing) and allows minerals to be recycled. Saliva is an important buffer in relation to rumen pH.
