The Ruminal Digestion, Digestibility and Usage of Forage Energy by Calves at Different Structure of Diets
Optimization of diets for calves by implementation of fodder beet, haylage and maize silage activates fermentative processes in rumen, increases digestibility of nutrients, betters protein, carbohydrate and mineral metabolism that positively influences the productivity of animals and efficiency of forage usage; the energy productive usage index goes up from 0,47 to 0,59.
