Grace, an Agri-King Nutritionist from the UK, joins Mike to explore how different carbohydrate sources—such as grains and forages—impact animal health and diet balancing.
Their conversation delves into the importance of processing grains for optimal digestion, managing carbohydrate levels to prevent acidosis, and the role of enzymes in enhancing nutrient availability.
