Rumen Fermentable Organic Matter
The Rumen Fermentable Organic Matter represents the part of the Digestible Organic Matter that is utilised in the rumen. The difference between Digestible Organic Matter (DOM) and Rumen Fermentable Organic Matter is digested in the intestines. The ratio of DOM to Rumen Fermentable Organic Matter can be influenced by speeding up the fermentation in the rumen. Sugar-rich products, for example, ferment well.
