peer agreement (net): +1forage Explanation: Grovfôr er det motsatte av kraftfôr "Forage" er ordet vi vanligvis bruker og er underforstått å være dyrefor (suitable for cattle and animals) Det er et begrep for silo, høy eller beitevekster. Det er helt unødvendig å si rough eller coarse (Det høres byaktig ut ;-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-24 23:16:49 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Jeg mente heller at hjemmeavlet grovfôr (forage) komplimenterer kraftfôr (concentrates). The major factors involved in formulating a nutritionally balanced ration are: * Amount of forage available * The quality of forage based on chemical analysis * Meeting minimum nutrient requirements * Availability of concentrate ingredients As a general thumb rule, roughage (fiberous forage containg high level of cellulose) constitutes 2/3 of total dry matter (DM) intake and concentrate ? 1/3 of total intake. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-25 09:46:24 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Richard\'s forslag om roughage kan også brukes. |
