Balancing diets for physically effective fibre and ruminally degradable starch: A key to lower the risk of sub-acute rumen acidosis and improve productivity of dairy cattle☆ (2010, background): “As the retention time of digesta in reticulorumen is prolonged, the degradability of starch and particularly of insoluble starch increases (Offner et al., 2003).”
Meta-analyses of experimental data in animal nutrition. (2008, methodology): “Meta-analyses can also be used for external model evaluation (Lovatto and Sauvant, 2002; Sauvant and Martin, 2004), or for a critical comparison of alternate mechanistic models (Offner and Sauvant, 2004; Offner et al., 2003).”
Factors affecting starch utilization in large animal food production system: A review (2014, unknown): “For example, in ruminants a large proportion of starch from feed grains is fermented by microorganisms in the rumen, but a substantial amount of starch can be digested in the small intestine or fermented in the large intestine [12, 13].”
