Effects of reducing inclusion rate of roughages by changing roughage sources and concentrate types on intake growth rumen fermentation characteristics and blood parameters of Hanwoo growing cattle (Bos Taurus coreanae)

摘要

ObjectiveReducing roughage feeding without negatively affecting rumen health is of interest in ruminant nutrition. We investigated the effects of roughage sources and concentrate types on growth performance, ruminal fermentation, and blood metabolite levels in growing cattle.
