Six Simmental heifers (668 \u00b1 28.4 kg BW) were used in a replicated 3 \u00d7 3 Latin square (21 d periods) balanced for carry-over effects. Treatments included a control (CON; Table 1) with no forage peNDF and minimal uNDF (peNDF: 0.0%, and uNDF: 4.88 \u00b1 0.01; 95.15% barley grain, 4.51% vitamin and mineral supplement, and 0.34% urea on a DM basis). Pelleted wheat straw (PELL) was included at 10% of dietary DM by replacing barley grain to provide added uNDF but no forage peNDF (peNDF: 0.00%, and uNDF: 6.78 \u00b1 0.02%). Finally, chopped wheat straw (STR) was included as a replacement for pelleted wheat straw to provide forage peNDF and uNDF (peNDF: 1.74 \u00b1 0.06%, and uNDF: 6.86 \u00b1 0.03%). Dry matter intake was not affected (P = 0.93) by treatments. Cattle fed CON spent less time ruminating (P = 0.010) and had less meals\/d (P = 0.035) when compared with cattle fed STR, with those fed PELL being intermediate but not different from other treatments. Cattle fed CON had lesser ruminal pH (P = 0.020), and a greater duration that pH was &amp;lt; 5.5 (P = 0.020) as compared to cattle fed STR, with those fed PELL being intermediate but not different. Cattle fed CON and PELL had greater total short-chain fatty acid concentration (P = 0.003) and molar proportion of propionate (P &amp;lt; 0.001) when compared with cattle fed STR. Cattle fed STR had greater (P = 0.010) total ruminal pool size when compared with cattle fed CON and PELL. Cattle fed CON had greater (P = 0.043) duration between ruminal contractions when compared with cattle fed STR, with those fed PELL being intermediate. Cattle fed CON had greater serum amyloid A (P = 0.003) and haptoglobin (P &amp;lt; 0.001) concentration when compared with the other treatments. Cattle fed CON had greater dry matter (P &amp;lt; 0.001) digestibility when compared with the other treatments. In conclusion, inclusion of PELL and STR impacted eating behavior, but only STR affected ruminal fermentation, ruminal motility, systemic inflammation, and total tract nutrient digestibility in finishing cattle. These results are interpreted to suggest that the combination of peNDF and uNDF may be better than uNDF alone to adequately capture biological effects of NDF in high-concentrate diets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skad023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,14]],"date-time":"2023-01-14T01:47:26Z","timestamp":1673660846000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Effect of physically effective neutral detergent fiber and undigested neutral detergent fiber on eating behavior, ruminal fermentation and motility, barrier function, blood metabolites, and total tract digestibility in finishing cattle"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"Murillo Ceola Stefano","family":"Pereira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Poultry Science, University of Saskatchewan , Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A8 , Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen A","family":"Beauchemin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge Research and Development Centre , Lethbridge, AB T1J 4B1 , Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tim A","family":"McAllister","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge Research and Development Centre , Lethbridge, AB T1J 4B1 , Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9453-924X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenzhu Z","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge Research and Development Centre , Lethbridge, AB T1J 4B1 , Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1741-7000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katharine M","family":"Wood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Biosciences, Ontario Agricultural College, University of Guelph , Guelph, ON N1G 2W1 , Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6396-2130","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregory Brent","family":"Penner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Poultry Science, University of Saskatchewan , Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A8 , Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020916312673400_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104508","DOI":"10.1016\/j.livsci.2021.104508","article-title":"Effects of including physically effective fiber from sugarcane in whole corn grain diets on the ingestive, digestive, and ruminal parameters of growing beef bulls","volume":"248","author":"Alhadas","year":"2021","journal-title":"Livest.
