Cows eat grass primarily for the following reasons:

  • to obtain proteins and other nutrients
  • to obtain energy

Cows are herbivores that rely on the nutrients and energy provided by grass and other plants for growth, maintenance, and overall health. While grass does contain some moisture, the primary reasons for cows eating grass are related to nutrition and energy, not specifically to obtain heat and warmth.
