Description
Summary:An abstract of the study by Benedeti et al evaluating the effects of corn and sorghum processing methods on the expression of genes involved in volatile fatty acids (VFA) transport of finishing bulls, is discussed. Five rumen cannulated Nellore bulls were used in a Latin square arrangement with five periods of 23 d, with 14 d for adaptation and 9 d for sample collection. The results of the study indicate that changes in corn processing may impact the VFA transport throughout rumen epithelium of finishing Nellore bulls.
