Document Summary
Traditionally, thi is made up of grains and grain by-products. Will make up most of the cost of the ration for most food animal production species. High amounts of energy is concentrated in it. Want high salt content for ruminants, increased digestibility, increase palatability, cost effective, increased protein and aa, certain fa, vit, minerals, want to prevent negative associative effects, minimize anf and heat damage. Barley, corn, oats, wheat, millet, rice, rye sorghum. Think about species, stage of production, feed intake, anf, nutrient content other than energy when choosing a grain. Another definition for concentrate in dairy cattle nutrition is 50/50 or 60/40 concentrate to roughage ration including grain, supplement protein, fat, vits, minerals. Food manufactures can screw up human food and the bad batches can end up in animal feed. Soft drinks are sweetened by high fructose corn syrup, producing byproducts for animal feedstuff. Corn stover, corn cobs can be fed.
