... ws: steam-flaked (SF), highmoisture-harvested followed by rolling and ensiling (HM), or dry-rolled (DR). Resulting grains were evaluated using lambs in two 5 × 5 Latin square digestion trials. Treatment diets contained either SF-HD, SF-ND, HM-HD, HM-ND, or DR-ND grain sorghum in two trials; a 90 or a 60% concentrate diet was fed in each trial. High-density planting increased (P < 0.10) the apparent absorption of P relative to ND planting for both 60 and 90% concentrate diets. Steam flaking decreased (P < 0.10) the apparent absorption of P in the
