Six ruminally cannulated Hereford \u00d7 Simmental heifers (699 \u00b1 69.1 kg BW) were used in a 6 \u00d7 6 Latin square (26 d periods) with a 2 \u00d7 3 factorial treatment arrangement. However, 1 heifer was removed from the study after period 2 due to health problems unrelated to treatment, resulting in an incomplete 6 \u00d7 6 Latin square design. Barley grain-based diets were formulated using BarS or wheat STR to alter uNDF (7.1% vs. 8.5% DM) with FI rates of 5%, 10%, or 15% of DM. There were limited interactions between the forage type and FI. DM intake was not affected (P \u2265 0.10) by forage type or FI. Use of STR vs. BarS increased uNDF intake (P &amp;lt; 0.001). Increasing FI increased (P &amp;lt; 0.001) uNDF intake for those fed 15% forage. Ruminal pH was not affected (P \u2265 0.10) by forage type; however, cattle fed 5% FI had lesser (P = 0.017) mean ruminal pH and maximum pH (P = 0.018) than those fed 10% and 15% of forage. The total SCFA concentration was not affected by forage type (P = 0.84) but cattle fed the 5% FI rate had lesser (P &amp;lt; 0.001) molar proportion of acetate when compared with cattle fed 10% and 15% forage. Increasing the FI rate decreased the molar proportion of propionate (P &amp;lt; 0.001). Feeding STR relative to BarS decreased (P = 0.041) the reticulo-ruminal contraction duration. In contrast, cattle fed the 10% and 15% FI rates had a greater (P = 0.028) contraction frequency with lower (P = 0.048) contraction area than those fed 5% forage. Plasma glucose, serum insulin, and serum amyloid A were not affected by forage type or FI rate (P \u2265 0.10). Cattle fed 15% forage had lesser (P = 0.040) concentration of serum haptoglobin when compared with cattle fed 5% or 10% forage. In conclusion, forage type used to affect the dietary uNDF concentration, and FI rate act independently suggesting that the provision of STR to increase uNDF reduces reticulo-ruminal contraction duration and total tract permeability but may not affect ruminal pH. Increasing the FI increased dietary uNDF, stabilized ruminal pH, stimulated more frequent reticulo-ruminal contractions, and may decrease the permeability of the gastrointestinal tract and systemic inflammation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skad043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]],"date-time":"2023-02-07T20:06:31Z","timestamp":1675800391000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effect of forage types differing in undigested neutral detergent fiber concentration and forage inclusion rate on reticulo-ruminal motility and fermentation, total tract barrier function, and blood metabolites of finishing beef heifers"],"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":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"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":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5070-4554","authenticated-orcid":false,"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":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Timothy A","family":"McAllister","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge Research and Development Centre , Lethbridge, AB T1J 4B1 , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"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":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6396-2130","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregory B","family":"Penner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Poultry Science, University of Saskatchewan , Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A8 , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023030816561601000_","volume-title":"Official methods of analysis","author":"AOAC","year":"1990","edition":"15"},{"key":"2023030816561601000_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1092","DOI":"10.2527\/jas.2010-3301","article-title":"Ruminant nutrition symposium: role of fermentation acid absorption in the regulation of ruminal pH","volume":"89","author":"Aschenbach","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
