Journal ArticleDOI
Site of Digestion of Starch in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Dairy Cows and Its Effect on Milk Yield and Composition
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limits to starch digestion in the ruminant small intestine.
F. N. Owens,R. A. Zinn,Y. K. Kim +2 more
TL;DR: Results support the concept that energetic efficiency of growing ruminants is greater if starch is digested in the small intestine rather than in the rumen, and processing methods to reduce particle size or alter the protein matrix, which cements starch granules together, will increase the extent of digestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain processing effects on starch utilization by ruminants.
TL;DR: Processing and grain source studies both suggest that maximal total tract starch digestibility is positively related to the extent of digestion in the rumen, and efficiency of ruminal starch fermentation by cattle appears to be improved by proper processing of corn and sorghum grain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional Approaches to Minimize Subacute Ruminal Acidosis and Laminitis in Dairy Cattle
TL;DR: Both the nutritionist and dairy managers are responsible for the delivery and consumption of a ration that is likely to produce a ruminally healthy pH, and nutritionists should consider the expected amount of physically effective neutral detergent fiber provided by ration ingredients.

Fermentation of a High Concentrate Diet as Affected by Ruminal pH and Digesta Flow
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pH and digesta flow rates on fermentation of a 65% grain, 35% forage ration by rumen microorganisms was evaluated in continuous culture fermentations.
