Feeding a good quality fibre source to all ruminants aids digestion when utilising high quality feed such as forage brassicas. The purpose of the fibre is to encourage the animal to chew. The chewing encourages salivation, a rich source of sodium bicarbonate, which acts as a buffer to help balance the acids produced during fermentation in the gut.
Fibre also helps with firming up liquid dung that is often seen when animals are grazing high quality feed. All of these factors combined, aids with improving the overall productivity of the grazing animal to get the most out of forage brassicas.
