Do cattle consume roughage?
Yes. Roughage is in reference to such forage as hay or stockpiled grass.
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 roughage in cattle feeds?
Roughage is fodder or forage that is not a concentrate ration, but a little higher in fibrous material than concentrate rations such as grain or by-products like bread or distillers grains.
What do birds and cows have in common?

Can cattle get sick from eating corn?
If they are fed a balanced amount of corn and roughage, they will not become ill. However, if they gorge or are fed too much corn without a source of roughage, an increase risk of bloat or other digestive problems may occur.
What has the author Roy Kellaway written?

What are the sources of concentrates given in a cattle feed?
Concentrates in cattle feed primarily include energy-dense ingredients such as grains (corn, barley, oats), by-products (soybean meal, distillers grains), and protein sources (canola meal, cottonseed meal). These ingredients are rich in nutrients and are designed to enhance the overall energy and protein content of the diet. Additionally, minerals and vitamins may be added to ensure balanced nutrition and support optimal growth and production in cattle.

Name the two components of cattle feed?
The main component of a ration for cattle is roughage (hay, pasture, or even silage, to some extent). The second component is what is called a "high concentrate" feed such as grain or by-products. Non-fattener diets for cattle should make up at least 60% roughage.A feed by itself primarily is analyzed nutritionally by protein (as "crude protein") and energy (as TDN or "total digestible nutrients"). There are other equally important components that need to be looked at, such as fibre content (neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre), calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and even sodium. All of these will determine if the feed is nutritionally enough to feed to cattle, or if an additional feed (or more) needs to be added so that cattle are getting their full nutritional requirements.Saying that, it is extremely rare that one feed will contain enough nutrients to meet most requirements of most bovines.
