The term for ruminants, or animals that have a complex digestive system allowing them to extract nutrients from plant material, is "ruminant animals." However, if you are looking for a more specific term, it would be "bovids." Bovids are a family of mammals that includes animals like cattle, sheep, goats, and bison, all of which are ruminants.
The term for ruminants is "rumination." Ruminants are a group of animals that have a unique digestive system called "ruminant digestion." Examples of ruminants include cows, sheep, goats, deer, and giraffes. In the rumination process, these animals chew their food, swallow it, and then bring it back up to chew it again (known as "cud-chewing") to break it down further before finally digesting it in their stomachs. This process enables ruminants to extract more nutrients from plant-based diets.
