ALTERNATIVE DEVICE OF POLYMERIC FIBROUS ROUGHAGE FOR RUMINANT ANIMALS

摘要

PURPOSE: An alternative device for roughage obtained by using polypropylene as a core rod and then planting polymeric fibers in the core rod is provided which reduces the amount of roughage intake and feces and improves productivity. CONSTITUTION: Polymeric fibers(3) having a length of 10 to 40mm are planted in a core rod(2) using a steel core(5) for fixing to form an alternative device(1) for roughage. The diameter of the core rod has a diameter of 10 to 30mm to easily feed to ruminant animals and the polymeric fibers have a specific gravity of 0.80 to 0.90 for stimulation in the rumen of the animal.
