Description
Special feed for ruminants
Ruminant feed is a feed specially designed for the digestive characteristics of ruminants such as cattle and sheep. It contains ingredients that promote rumen microbial activity to improve nutrient absorption efficiency.
Specific characteristics and functions
1. Definition and ingredients:
Ruminant feed mainly includes plant feed (such as grass and straw), animal feed (such as fish meal), minerals and additives, with special emphasis on cellulose content and microbial environment regulation.
Unlike monogastric animal feed, ruminant feed needs to maintain rumen microbial balance, so urea, rumenin and other ingredients are often added.
2. Core functions:
Promote cellulose degradation: Produce organic acids through fermentation, optimize rumen pH, enhance the activity of cellulose decomposing bacteria, and improve the utilization rate of roughage (such as straw and hay).
Regulate the rumen environment: Add microbial preparations or fermentation ingredients to inhibit harmful bacteria, maintain acid-base balance, and prevent acidosis.
3. Production purpose:
Improve nutrient absorption: Aiming at the digestive characteristics of the four stomach structures of ruminants (rumen, reticulum, etc.), ensure that the feed is fully fermented in the rumen and effectively enters the subsequent digestion process.
