Abstract

In a 60-day reversal trial with two groups o six lactating cows, roasting soybeans at 118 C for approximately 3.5 minutes increased their acceptability in the concentrate mixture (P < .01). However, this process did not alter coefficients of apparent digestibility for crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract, or dry matter in these rations. Fat-corrected milk production of cows on the two feeds was not different (P > .05).
