how do cows make milk?

We drink milk everyday, but how is it made?

Firstly the cows have to each around 70kg of grass, by wrapping their tongue around it and pulling it out. Instead of teeth, they have soft pad to chew.

Then the grass is swallowed down to the biggest part of their inner core, which is called the rumen, to be mixed with liquid.



after that proedure it goes off to the cud chamber to be made into cud, which is burped up and chewed for one minute.

Then it is swallowed again and into the third and fourth stomach, where it is turned into nutrients and absorbed into the bloodstream.

Finally it is taken to the cows udders. This is how milk it made.
