Effect of time of concentrate delivery on nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and solid passage rate in limit-fed steers consuming wheat straw

Effect of time of concentrate delivery on nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and solid passage rate in limit-fed steers consuming wheat straw

Delivery of limit-fed, total-mixed rations requires significant capital investment and creates logistical challenges. Separate delivery of forage and concentrate portions of the diet may decrease feeding cost. In an abstract of a study, Baber et al compare the effects of time of concentrate delivery...

Zusammenfassung:Delivery of limit-fed, total-mixed rations requires significant capital investment and creates logistical challenges. Separate delivery of forage and concentrate portions of the diet may decrease feeding cost. In an abstract of a study, Baber et al compare the effects of time of concentrate delivery on nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and solid passage rate in limit-fed steers consuming wheat straw.
