What is the normal fiber content for an organic sheep feed?

Question

Answer 1

The fiber content of any feed depends on the type of feed making up the ration. For example if your organic feed is pre-bloom alfalfa cubes then the fiber content will be about the same as the same type of cubes of non organic feed. I'm going to give you a couple of references that may help you write your paper. Don't get too hung up on organic vs inorganic feed except in the type of feed making up the rations, otherwise they are going to be about the same. Also you could go to a feed store that sell organic feed for sheep and read the feed tags, they are required to post the nutrition information like protein content, fiber, etc on each bag of feed they sell.
