J.E. Nocek,Seerp Tamminga +1 more
TL;DR: Current production studies yield no clear evidence as to the benefits of postruminal digestion of starch to enhance milk yield or to change its composition, however, studies suggest that starch digested postruminally is used more efficiently for milk synthesis than that digested in the rumen.
