[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1394988, member: 17025"] OK - I read here that feeding whole corn is good. How much corn? I just read this... "Rumen microbes will preferentially digest the starch before they digest fiber, so fiber digestion actually decreases. Also, at higher levels of grain, rapid fermentation of the starch lowers rumen pH, which is harmful to the fiber-digesting bacteria," Olson says.
