Particle size (% DM) | TMR | SF | P-value |
>19 mm | 13.8 ± 1.5 | 28.4 ± 1.9 | 0.034 |
19–8.0 mm | 18.5 ± 1.2 | 64.5 ± 2.0 | 0.003 |
8.0–1.18 mm | 29.1 ± 2.3 | 7.0 ± 0.4 | 0.004 |
<1.18 mm | 38.6 ± 2.9 | 0.2 ± 0.6 | 0.004 |
Values are least square means ± standard deviation (n = 3 replications).
DM, dry matter; SF, separate feeding; TMR, total mixed ration.
