Ruminants

Cattle belong to a class of animals called ruminants. This group includes sheep, goats, and deer.  Ruminants generally have a forestomach with four compartments (rumen, omasum, reticulum, and abomasum).

Ruminants have a digestive system that allows them to utilize roughages (e.g. hay, grass) as a major source of nutrients. These animals have a large (capacity up to 50 gals.), a fluid-filled digestive organ at the beginning of the digestive tract called the rumen. The rumen contains a large population of microbes (including bacteria and protozoa).

Importance of dairy feed

• The grain in this feed facilitates faster growth since it is higher in calories than forages or grass.
• Dairy feeds ensure a more controlled environment on the farm, promoting weight gain and genetic optimization.
• Dairy feed also ensures all adequate nutrients are provided to the cattle as opposed to a less easily managed pasture system.
• If properly mixed with hay, feedlot rations will attract all the benefits of feeding ruminants on pasture (including optimal ruminal pH content, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, etc.)
• Boosts productivity, immunity, and health.
• It is exceptionally high-energy feed, improves the efficiency of energy utilization.
• Reduces the risk of physical trauma that may be inflicted on the animals while grazing on pasture.
