The influence of substituting corn meal with pelleted winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) tuber on intake, digestion and rumen fermentation in beef cattle
This study highlights the potential of WBTP as a sustainable alternative to corn meal in the diets of Thai-native beef cattle. The study found that replacing corn meal with WBTP at up to 100% had no negative adverse effects on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation parameters, or energy efficiency.
