Abstract

Determines the effects of steam-flaked sorghum grain bulk density in animal performance, cost of production and propensity to induce ruminal acidosis in feedlot steers. Significance of increasing the density of steam-flaked grain while reducing the risk for subacute acidosis in feed intake; Effects of the degree of flaking on ruminal acidity.
