Goals Transfer of information about the relationships between roughages, technologies applied to roughages and ruminant feed
Course Content Forage sources, technologies of forage manufacturing and processing, forage storage and methods of storage, methods used to improve feed quality, diet-digestion connection in evaluating feed value of forages, silage biochemistry and technology with forage usage in ruminant diets
Learning Outcomes 1) Learns the sources of roughage used in ruminant feeding.
2) Learns the methods used in determining the digestibility of roughage and their use in application.
3) Learns silage biochemistry, technology and application.
4) Ration preparation infrastructure will have.
