Table 5. Least squares mean of ruminal dry matter and starch degradability by the thickness of corn flakes using the pressurized steam chamber
Item | Treatments1) | SEM |
T1 | T2 | T3 |
Dry matter (%) | 37.50a | 35.73b | 26.17c | 1.14 |
Starch (%) | 49.23a | 47.20b | 41.41c | 0.86 |
Treatments : T1 < 2.5 mm, T2 = 2.5–3.0 mm, and T3 > 3.0 mm.
Means without same superscripts within a row are significantly different (p < 0.01).
SEM, standard error of the mean.
