Forage Alternatives
2003
Alien, Michael S. | Voelker, Jennifer A.
Forage alternatives can be used to reduce the filling effects of diets and to stretch available forages when their supply or quality is limited. Dietary space vacated by forage is filled primarily by high fiber byproduct feeds or by cereal grains; the extent to which they can substitute for forage depends primarily on their digestion characteristics - they should be slowly fermented with high total tract digestibility. Diet fermentability must be limited to prevent excess ruminal acid production. Adequate coarse fiber particles should be included in the diet for formation of the rumen mat to entrap and retain small potentially fermentable fiber particles, increasing their digestibility.
