Figure 2From: Feeding a high-concentrate corn straw diet increased the release of endotoxin in the rumen and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the mammary gland of dairy cowsEffect of different diets on the concentrations of endotoxin (LPS) in rumen fluid (I) and feces (II) of dairy cows. LCF is low-concentrate mixed forage diet with a concentrate to roughage ratio of 46 : 54; HCS is high-concentrate corn straw diet with a concentrate to roughage ratio of 65 : 35; LCS is low-concentrate corn straw diet with the same concentrate to roughage ratio (46 : 54) as LCF. A-BMeans between treatments differ (P < 0.01).Back to article page
