[QUOTE="farmguy, post: 1469354, member: 1419"] Thanks guys but I do realize the low quality roughage passes slower. But what is the whole idea of DMI value? Do certain animals have a greater capacity in their GI tract? Does a greater DMI value mean they just eat more to gain the same weight? Finally I guess the bottom line is a greater DMI value a good thing in a feedlot animal? Producing faster gains? How about my winter grazing cows? Does a greater DMI value mean they can consume more roughage and do better on poorer feed? I hope I have clarified my questions better, thanks in advance. farmguy [/QUOTE]
