Accidents are undesirable or unfortunate events that occur unintentionally and can possibly result in injury, damage or loss. Accidents involving livestock are not planned and represent a stressful environment for the animals. Farmers and truck drivers transporting livestock do their best to provide the livestock a low stress trip to their next destination.

Grains are often fed as the primary source of energy in feedlot cattle diets because of their high starch concentration. Grains, such as corn, have a fibrous protein shell called the pericarp that encapsulates and protects the starch. For the rumen microbes to gain access to the starch inside the kernel, they must first break through the protective pericarp. Grain processing breaks the pericarp, allowing the rumen microbes immediate access to the starch inside the kernel.
