Abstract :
Four Holstein steers (339±10 kg initial BW) fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulae were used in a 4×4 Latin square design to evaluate the

Diets were formulated to contain 140 g/kg CP for growing and finishing. No differences (P≥0.24) were observed for DM intake (10.2±0.54 kg/d; 2.4±0.09% of BW). Flax inclusion decreased microbial OM flow at the
