Assessment of genetic parameters of degradability in maize grains due to indentation scores Estimativas de parâmetros genéticos da degradabilidade de grãos de milho diferindo em escore de identação

Maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars with dent grains present higher starch and dry matter ruminal degradability than those with flint grains. This study aimed to assess genetic parameters of degradability in maize grains of different textures and to verify whether there is an association between grain ind...
