B Mohtashami, H Khalilvandi-Behroozyar… - British Journal of …, 2022 - cambridge.org
The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of different supplemental fat sources
(soyabean oil (SBO) as a source of n-6 fatty acid (FA) and fish oil (FO) as a source of n-3 FA) …

Effects of corn grain processing method (ground versus steam-flaked) with rumen undegradable to degradable protein ratio on growth performance, ruminal …

M Rastgoo, M Kazemi-Bonchenari… - Animal Feed Science …, 2020 - Elsevier
The hypothesis of the current study was that steam-flaking corn grain will increase ruminal
available starch, but reduce undegradable protein reaching the small intestine and hence …
