Understanding Animal Feeds: Concentrates vs. Roughages and the Importance of Calories

This article explores the classification of animal feeds into concentrates and roughages, highlighting their nutritional properties. Concentrates are low in fiber but high in total digestible nutrients, such as oats, which are consumed mainly as seeds. In contrast, roughages contain high fiber and are low in total digestible nutrients. Oat hay, for example, includes seeds, leaves, and stalks. Additionally, we define calories as a basic unit of energy, essential for understanding the nutrition needs of animals.
