Popis:	Opaque-2 corn (Zea mays L.), more commonly known as high lysine corn, contains more lysine than normal corn. However, little is known about the digestibility in ruminants of different high lysine hybrids. Objectives were to determine in vitro ruminal starch digestibility of corn grain from high lysine and normal hybrids. Samples included grain from seven high lysine and one normal hybrid harvested at physiological maturity, and five high lysine and five normal hybrids harvested after field drying. All grain was ground prior to starch and in vitro analyses; dry grain was both coarsely and finely ground to examine the interaction between particle size and corn type. Starch content of normal corn was slightly higher than high lysine for both blacklayer (67.1% vs. 65.0%; P
