Concentrates are available in pellets. Concentrates contain a lot of fibers. These fibers have a useful function. The feed is chewed better and longer by the addition of fiber-rich ingredients. It is very important that it is chewed better and longer, as the grains cause the acidity in the stomach to rise. The rise in acidity is unnatural and not pleasant for the animal. Because more chewing is done, the animal must produce more saliva. The saliva, in turn, neutralizes the acidity in the stomach.

Digesting concentrates

Because concentrates are digested faster than roughage, extra fibers must be added to the concentrates. The added fibers promote intestinal function and slow down the digestion process of the concentrates.
