چکیده

Four Holstein steers (208 kg) with "T" cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square design experiment to evaluate the interaction of feed intake level on comparative ruminal and total tract digestion of dry-rolled and steam-flaked corn. The basal diet contained (DM basis) 6% alfalfa hay, 6% sudangrass hay, 75% corn, 2% yellow grease, 5% cottonseed meal, 3% cane molasses, and 3% supplement. The corn portion of the diet was provided as either dry-rolled (density = .54 kg/L) or steam-flaked (density = .36 kg/L). Dry matter intake was restricted to allow for .64 vs 1.28 kg/d of weight gain (1.6 vs 2.4% of BW). Ruminal digestibility of OM, starch, and feed N were not affected (P > .10) by DMI. Postruminal digestion of OM and N and total tract digestibility of OM and DE decreased (P < .05) as DMI was increased. Total tract starch digestibility was not influenced (P > .10) by DMI. Steam flaking corn increased (P < .05) ruminal digestibility of OM and starch and postruminal and total tract digestibility of OM, starch, N, DE, and ME. Increasing DMI and steam flaking decreased (P < .05) ruminal pH and molar proportion of acetate. It is concluded that corn processing is the primary factor influencing site and extent of starch digestion. Decreasing DMI increases DE value of the diet; however, ME value is not affected because of increased energy loss as methane.

Influence of processing method on comparative digestion of white corn versus conventional steam-flaked yellow dent corn in finishing diets for feedlot cattle.

Four Holstein steers (137 ± 2 kg) with cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design to evaluate the influence of processing method on comparative digestion of white corn. Treatments consisted of a basal finishing diet containing 80% corn grain (DM basis) as 1) dry-rolled white corn (DRWC), 2) steam-flaked white corn (SFWC) with 0.36 kg/L flake density (SF...

Ten Holstein steers (465 +/- 6 kg) with cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum were used in a crossover design experiment to evaluate the influence of air-dry vs fresh steam-flaked corn on characteristics of ruminal and total tract digestion. The basal diet contained 77% steam-flaked corn (DM basis). Air-dry steam-flaked corn (SFC-AD) was obtained from a single batch that had been allowed ...

Influence of processing on the comparative feeding value of barley for feedlot cattle.

Ninety-six crossbred steers were used in a 172-d feedlot growth performance trial to determine the effects of type processing on the comparative feeding value of barley in a 90% concentrate finishing diet. Treatments were: 1) steam-flaked corn (SFC; density = .31 kg/L); 2) dry-rolled barley (DRB; density = .39 kg/L); 3) steam-rolled barley, coarse roll (SRB-C, density = .39 kg/L); and 4) SRB, t...
