Abstract
1. The effect of the extent of ruminal fermentation of starch on the postruminal digestion of starch and protein was investigated in sheep, differences in rumen fermentation being obtained by giving diets based on barley, maize, or maize plus sodium chloride. The mean percentages of starch (α-linked glucose polymers) fermented in the rumen wert 91, 79 and 78 respectively with these diets, but there was considerable variability, particularly with the maize diets.
