Yes, a ruminant couldn't live on roughage without the bugs, because these digest the tough cellulose fibre in the plants the animals eat. |
The jird is able to exploit low quality roughage and has a low energy requirement. |
Insoluble fiber provides bulk or roughage to your diet, but you don't digest it. |
It takes 60 to 90 days for them to develop the four-chamber ruminant stomach that allows them to eat roughage and extract protein from it. |
Feeding more frequently, offering the cows more roughage, and maybe increasing the frequency of milking are examples to reduce these problems. |
Livestock farmers with no forage area and sellers of roughage or its substitutes will receive no aid under the draft directive. |
