| Rumen residual liquid | 2.97 ± 0.43 | 2.87 ± 0.78 | 3.43 ± 0.97 |
| Total saccharide content (g/L) | |||
| Rumen original liquid | 5.51 ± 0.99b | 8.75 ± 2.17b | 18.14 ± 4.88a |
| Rumen foam liquid | 5.65 ± 0.99b | 8.74 ± 1.9b | 17.97 ± 5.08a |

1In the same row, values with same or no small letter superscripts meaning no significant difference (P > 0.05), at the same time different small letter superscripts meaning significant difference (P < 0.05). 2LBS, low rumen bloat score; MBS, medium rumen bloat score; HBS, high rumen bloat score.
