One faq by *new entrepreneurs* on feeding under *Zerograzing* FAQ: Is it mandatory to give Roughages to sheep & goats or can we maintain exclusively on *concentrate feed* ? Ans : # It is mandatory to offer *Roughages* to sheep & goats as they are ruminants # Two types of Roughages ( Legumes and Non-Legumes ) are to be offered in prescribed ratio # One can't maintain sheep & goats exclusively on *Concentrate feed* *Note* : Concentrate feeds can also be offered ( Maximum admissible level 1.5 % of Bwt ) depending on Physiological need .. But, *along with Roughages* only .. Not as sole feed Best is # mix all three ( Legume Roughage , NL Roughage & Concentrate feed ) in *prescribed ratio* and offer *Adlibitum* @ This is nothing but *TMR*( Total Mixed Ration )
