Rumen health requires effective fiber to stimulate rumination, but overly long fiber reduces fermentation efficiency. 6-12mm short-cut strikes the right balance.

Short-cut feed retains enough physical structure to maintain rumination and rumen motility, while greatly enlarging fermentable surface area to promote volatile fatty acid (VFA) production and supply energy to dairy cows.

With proper ration structure and buffer management, short-cut feed delivers both high production and rumen health.
