Abstract
The efficiency of feedlot cattle production largely depends on the utilisation of starch. Current grain selection and processing practices can achieve whole tract starch digestibility levels of greater than 95% but gross inefficiencies in feed utilisation can still occur. The aim of this thesis was to examine opportuinities for improving the efficiency of starch digestion in beef cattle.
