How do roughages differ from concentrates in reference to cattle feed?
Roughage contains more fibre and cellulose and less energy as well as protein in most cases than concentrates. Roughages are hay, straw and pasture grasses. Concentrates are grain-type feeds, beet-pulp, waste bread, etc. Roughages are the standard feed for all cattle operations; concentrates are used for fattening up cattle for slaughter. They can also be for older animals that are not going to slaughter but need the extra nutrient to gain weight or as a supplement if the roughage feed is low in nutrient itself.
What is the difference between concentrates and roughages?
Concentrates are low in fibre and contain relatively high levels of proteins and other nutrients. Roughage is largely fibres.

What is roughages?
The common-knowledge, human-food definition of roughage is this: "Fibrous indigestible material in vegetable foodstuffs which aids the passage of food and waste products through the gut." However, part of this definition does not hold true in terms of ruminant nutrition. The definition of roughage in ruminant nutrition is forage that is coarse and high in fibre, cellulose and lignin which promotes rumen digestion, increases chewing time, and promotes microbial activity. (In contrast to humans, roughage is not indigestible for ruminants--rather it is the food type that encourages digestive activity, and is the basis for which all diets for all ruminant animals must consist of.) Roughages include hay, silage, and tame and native grasses and forbs.

You should shop around because I have seen the cybershot at different price ranges.Sony often has a sale price on this item on their web site, but Amazon cuts the price on many items including this one/ Another place to check would be e bay.
Which compartment in the ruminant is nearest to the oesophagus?
The abomasum, this is the 'true" stomach which is able to easily absorb the number of antibodies from the colostrum and the high amounts of protein. The rumen and remaining stomachs will begin to develop once the calf begins to intake roughages (hay and grains). To learn more about the development and function of the Rumen, view the attached related link.
