Carrot (Daucus carota)

Carrots contain large amounts of fermentable sugars that may cause acidosis (see Ruminants below). Frozen carrots will rot in 7-8 days and are poorly palatable (Morel d'Arleux, 1990). Feeding high levels of fresh carrots may cause some scouring which can be minimized by storage for a few weeks (Rust et al., 2008).
