Carbohydrates are made up of sugars lipids minerals( sugars, lipids, minerals ), and contain carbon, B Vitamins hydrogen inorganic matter( B Vitamins, hydrogen, inorganic matter ), and oxygen. Plants make cellulose microbes glucose( cellulose, microbes, glucose ) through photosynthesis. The two components of carbohydrates are Crude fiber Organic matter Photosynthesis glucose( Crude fiber, Organic matter, Photosynthesis, glucose ) and Glucose Nitrogen-Free extract water Organic matter( Glucose, Nitrogen-Free extract, water, Organic matter ).

Roughage is high in FC NFE( FC, NFE ), low in FC NFE( FC, NFE ). However, the better worse( better, worse ) the quality, the higher the NFE and lower the CF. Older Younger( Older, Younger ) plants have less CF and more NFE.

Concentrates: Low High( Low, High ) in NFE and Low High( Low, High ) in CF. Consists of Grass Cereal NFE( Grass, Cereal, NFE ) grains. Can be digested by Ruminants and Monogastric Ruminant Monogastric( Ruminants and Monogastric, Ruminant, Monogastric ) animals
