Why does baby goat constantly chew cud?

Baby goats, like other ruminants, chew cud as part of their digestive process. After initially swallowing food, they regurgitate it to chew it again, which helps break down the fibrous material and aids digestion. This process allows them to extract more nutrients from their food, contributing to their growth and overall health. Chewing cud is a natural behavior that also helps keep their teeth and jaw muscles strong.
