Mmm.

So if i go out and eat a cow pat I'll be able to digest leaves, twigs , grass and things?

I'll give it a go.

 It is a very common occurence in insects, particularly ants and lower termites, where I think it is called tropholaxys?

Trophallaxis, I think.

It's a bit different though, because trophallaxis is the deliberate passing of fluids or foods from mouth to mouth or anus to mouth, especially in social insects, birds etc, while this process above, for the herbivores is the accidental or deliberate consumption of pooh left randomly by the adults.
