Summary

Simulating changes in the distribution of the particle marker between particle-phase and fluid-phase dry matter by ±40% resulted in calculated flows of dry matter to the duodenum that differed from the ideal of uniform distribution by 1 to 2%; true digesta flow values were virtually unaffected. These errors are small and can probably be ignored.
