What is coarse fiber?

Coarse fiber refers to the structural components of plant materials that are high in cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, making them less digestible. It is typically found in the stems, leaves, and hulls of plants and is important for promoting digestive health in animals and humans. Coarse fiber contributes to a feeling of fullness and aids in regulating bowel movements. In animal feed, it helps maintain gut health and supports overall digestive function.
