fecal pH; urea
The effect of corn grain processing (whole, treated with urea, or crushed forms) on the digestibility of diets and performance in early weaned calves kept in feedlot was evaluated. The diet was formulated with silage sorghum as forage in 40: 60 forage to concentrate ratio (% DM). Digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, cellulose, gross energy and starch, fecal pH and DM intake were evaluated in an assay using six 7-mo castrated calves. Treatment effect on animal performance was evaluated in an assay using 15 non-castrated calves with ages similar to those of the digestibility assay, with initial 159 kg BW. The corn grain processing did not affect the evaluated characteristics, except for fecal pH, that was lower in the animals fed diet with crushed corn grain.
