BlogUnlock the quality of fiber!Fiber is a critical component of the plant cell wall and provides both structural support and protection against disease and weather stress. Fiber is resistant to degradation by the digestive enzymes of most monogastric animals. Ruminants, on the other hand, have the ability to release the energy from part of the fiber structure thanks to […]

BlogDo you know how fiber is affecting rumen health?Ruminant digestive systems have the ability to degrade and ferment fiber through microbial activity. The fiber components, and the subsequent production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), provide the majority of the energy for the ruminant. But energy (and milk) production is not the only role of fiber: it is the fiber that ensures the proper […]
