Detailed explanation-1: -Roughage is bulky and low in energy-giving carbohydrates. Examples of such feeds are grasses, maize stalks and sweet potato tops. Concentrates are feeds which are rich in proteins and carbohydrates, e.g. grain crops.
Detailed explanation-2: -Forages or roughages are low in net energy per unit weight, usually because of the high fibre content. Thus, such products as SEED COATS, PODS, rice BRAN, etc. are included in this group. Included in this group are all forage feeds either not cut (including feeds cured on the stem) or cut and fed fresh.
Detailed explanation-3: -A general definition of roughage is a feed ingredient that has a high concentration of slowly degradable fiber. The list of feeds that this definition includes as far as feed tags are concerned includes cottonseed hulls, oat hulls, and soybean hulls.
