Effects of microwave irradiation on ruminal protein and starch degradation of corn grain

This study was designed to evaluate effects of 800 W microwave irradiation for 3, 5 and 7 min on ruminal dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and starch degradation parameters of corn grain. Nylon bags of untreated or microwave treated corn were suspended in the rumen of three Holstein steers for 0–4...

Description
Summary:This study was designed to evaluate effects of 800 W microwave irradiation for 3, 5 and 7 min on ruminal dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and starch degradation parameters of corn grain. Nylon bags of untreated or microwave treated corn were suspended in the rumen of three Holstein steers for 0–48 h, and resulting data were fitted to a non-linear degradation model to calculate effective rumen degradation (ERD). Microwave treatments decreased (P
