Corn stalks and corn silage mixed had no change 3 days after treatment but a 7unit IVDMD increase by day 7 and a 1 unit increase at day 14. Corn silage alone had no change at day 3 or 7 but at day 14 there was a small 2 unit increase in IVDMD. Cornstalks ground to a smaller particle size and treated with calcium oxide stalks increased 5 units on average in IVDMD. There was considerable variation in the treated samples IVDMD.</p>}, month = {1}, keywords = {ASL R2776}, issn = {2693-0293}, publisher={Iowa State University Digital Press}, journal = {Iowa State University Animal Industry Report} }
