Insoluble fibers are not inert in the gut

I have been preparing some work on fiber, and I have been discussing this topic with several parties involved in producing and using commercial fibers in animal feeds — an increasing trend.

Terry gave me the best feed product formulation advice

It was my first year as a field nutritionist in the United States, and I had been given free rein over product formulation (to the horror of the sales team). I needed to find my own golden rule.
