Abstract: Carbohydrate is an important part of the ruminant nutrition,different structure of the carbohydrates in the rumen fermentation rate and extent are inconsistent, which affects the digestive absorption of nutrients in the diet.This article expounds the effects of different proportion of structural carbohydrates(SC) and non-structural carbohydrates(NSC) on animal intake,digestive rate and rumen fermentation.

Key words: SC/NSC; ruminal fermentation; digestion and metabolism
