Practical parameters for assessing starch digestion and feeding value of steam-flaked corn in finishing diets for feedlot cattle

Practical parameters for assessing starch digestion and feeding value of steam-flaked corn in finishing diets for feedlot cattle

ABSTRACTSix Holstein steers (153 kg ± 11) with cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum were used in a 6 × 6 Latin square design experiment to compare flake density (FD, kg/L), flake thickness (FT, mm), amyloglucosidase reactivity (AGR, % DM) and faecal starch (FS, % DM) as predictors of ruminal...
