THE EFFECT OF MAIZE GRAIN TYPE ON DIGESTIBILITY OF STARCH IN THE RUMEN OF SHEEP
Ruminal starch digestibility of dried maize grain and whole plant maize silage was determined by the in sacco method. It was found out that starch of dent type maize hybrid is more extensively digested in the rumen than starch of flint type hybrid. Digestibilities of dried maize grain from dent and...
