Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -More specifically for the ruminant, adequate protein level (> 7% CP) in the diet is required for maximal growth and activity of ruminal microorganisms, thus producing desired MCP amounts and maximizing ruminal fermentation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Straw is a common feed fed in our country. It is high in fibre, but very low in energy and protein and is not a feed. Straw should be used for bedding or left in the field and ploughed down to build soil structure. Alfalfa-grass hay also has fibre but at much lower levels.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pasture grasses and legumes, both native and cultivated, are the most important single source of feed for ruminants such as cattle, horses, sheep, and goats.
