Why do carabaos chew all the time?

Carabaos, like other ruminants, continuously chew to aid in their digestion process. They have a unique digestive system that allows them to break down tough plant materials effectively. Chewing helps to mix food with saliva, which is essential for fermentation, and allows them to re-chew partially digested food, known as "cud," to extract maximum nutrients. This constant chewing behavior is crucial for their overall health and efficient digestion.
