 DAIRY - NUTRITION AND FOOD

forage growth stages Strategies for good nutritional

Digestible dry matter
value

crop residues and by-products

 Low in fiber and high in energy as in
protein.

CONCENTRATES High palatability and are usually

eaten quickly.

Unlike fodder,no stimulate

rumination.

A concentrated source of energy or

protein to supplement the forage

They ferment more fast.
 Cereal grains: Reduces the activity of chewing, proper
rumen function and reduces the percentage of fat in
milk.

Corn gluten meal: Contains protein and

fiber.
.
EXAMPLES OF
Processing by-products and distillation:
CONCENTRATES sources of carbohydrates and proteins slow digestion

Roots and tubers:

sources of easily fermentable carbohydrates.

Industry by-products sugar bowl: content of
digestible fiber.

Legume seeds: They are good sources of energy and

protein.

Proteins of animal origin: Resistant to rumen degradation and

can be good sources of calcium and phosphorus.
