Abstract: Current dogma suggests increased dietary roughage may improve calf health at the expense of performance during receiving. In Exp. 1, the effects of increasing dietary roughage on performance and clinical health of high-risk heifers was… read more here.

Abstract: Increasing dietary roughage level is a commonly used strategy to prevent subacute ruminal acidosis. We hypothesized that high-roughage diets could promote chewing activity, saliva secretion, and hence more alkaline to buffer rumen pH. To verify… read more here.
