The influence of forage particle size on rumen metabolic responses and nutrient utilization

Three trials were conducted to assess the influence of the barley silage particles as a source of effective fiber in total mixed rations for ruminants. Trial one determined the effective fiber characteristics of barley silage at different theoretical cut length; short barley silage (SBS) = 4.68 mm a...
