[Influence of flaking of wheat on the intestinal flow of nitrogen in the cow].
Six Friesian heifers fed a 75% wheat diet were used in a 6 x 2 x 2 cross-over design. Rolled and steam-flaked wheat were compared. Starch gelatinization failed to increase the DM intestinal flow. Decreased N solubility produced by steam-flaking was associated with an increase in non-NH3-N flow (+/- 12%; P less than 0.05).
