Explanation:
I am not sure if there is a "slang" word for it in Mexico, but "to chew the cud" is "rumiar" and what they chew on is the "contenido ruminal".

  -> Thanks for your input, Cecilia, but "chewing cud" is only used for ruminant herbivors, and the asker says "as in animals chewing cud". You would never say a ruminant is "masticando el bolo alimenticio" but "rumiando".
