The effect of different particle sizes of corn on the rate of outflow, degradations of dietary protein and dry matter, and digestibility in sheep was studied. Six adult sheep weighing about 50 kg were used. The animals were fitted with rumen canula and individually maintained in metabolism cages. All the animals were fed, at a maintenance level, a basal diet of 70 % concentrates and 30 % rice-straw pellets twice daily at approximately 12-hr intervals and had free access to water. Two different particle sizes of corn (1.68 - 2.38 mm and 0.841 - 1.19 mm) were labelled with sodium dichromate and a 50 g of the mordanted corn was introduced as a single dose via rumen canula
