Five Holstein cows were used in a 5 x 5 Latin square design and fed diets containing five different ratios of starch from ground shelled corn and steam-rolled barley. The DMI decreased and both the proportions of OM and starch digested in the rumen increased as barley starch increased in the diet. Corn and barley starches fed in a ratio of 75:25 maximized the proportions of ADF and NDF digested in the rumen. Replacement of 25% of the corn starch with barley starch resulted in the largest increase in the molar percentage of propionate and the largest decrease in the molar percentage of acetate in ruminal fluid. Passage of NAN to the duodenum was not affected by treatment; however, the percentage of nonammonia nonmicrobial N in NAN decreased as barley starch increased. Passage of AA to the duodenum was largest when corn and barley starches were fed in ratios of 100:0 and 0:100 because of the influence of DMI and microbial protein synthesis. Production of milk, CP, and SNF was similar when cows were fed diets containing corn and barley starches in ratios of 100:0, 75:25, and 50:50 but was decreased when the ratios were 25:75 and 0:100. Increased production responses of cows when diets contained larger amounts of starch from ground shelled corn were probably due to increased DMI.
