Why can't cattle eat "fine grain"?

When it comes to cows, there is an action that everyone is very familiar with. This action is called "grass back" in some places. In some places it is called "fallen grinding." Rumination, simply put, is that the cow will chew on the grass that he eats and slowly chews it. The cow is ruminating every day, just as the rooster crows and the hen lays eggs. What happens if a cow does not ruminate for two days?

If cattle do not ruminate, farmers are not good news. A farmer in Shaanxi has encountered such trouble. The cattle in his family are bought for fattening. Since the cows have entered the portal, they have been trained by the winged family to treat them as treasures. It was not half a month, ruminating, nor eating grass, and the cow suddenly did not become more and more unspiritual. The farmer can panic, and quickly moved to save the soldiers, invited local technicians. After the technician checked the cow, he quickly made a diagnosis. The cow may have been acidosis. The technician immediately gave the cattle a bottle and fed a few points of water. Can you save it and observe it for three days? A couple of hours later, the cattle who had finished the bottle began to have spirits.

This cow does not cud, but there is danger of life! The farmer did not understand how his cow would get acidosis. The technician's answer surprised him, saying that it was because he was feeding the cow wrong.

This time farmers can be a bit confused. He took good care of this baby cow and was more attentive than taking care of his own children, especially when he was eating. Not only did he feed fodder and fine ingredients in turn, but he also deliberately rolled the grass much finer than usual. Did you feed the cow so carefully, but you have fed it? The technician said that the problem lies in this "fine" word. In fact, cows like to eat grass is rough, coarse grains is conducive to its gastrointestinal motility and digestion and absorption.

The so-called "crawling three knife, the material is also less long," but why do cattle like coarse feed?

It turns out that the rumen produces a lot of acid gas while fermenting food. Under normal circumstances, through rumination, these gases will come back to the cow's mouth with the food, and then directly discharged into the air. In addition, the saliva of cattle is alkaline J, it will also neutralize a part of the acidic material.

However, the premise of all this is that the food that is eaten into the rumen must be relatively crude and can stimulate ruminal rumination. If the fodder is too fine, the rumen cannot be stimulated and ruminants cannot be ruminated. The acidic substances in the rumen cannot be discharged and it is easy to cause acidosis. Therefore, if the cattle are to grow well, they should be allowed to eat “coarse grains” and coarse grass. Only in this way can the cattle grow up.

Addition, because rumen-fermented foods are easily digested and absorbed, some researchers have created a large fermenter that simulates the rumen, puts microbes in the rumen, and creates similar acidity and temperature as the rumen. The fodder is injected into the fermentation and then fed to single stomach animals such as pigs and chickens to increase their nutrition.
