Panhandle Research and Extension Center
Light-test weight corn (59.2 to 61.5 kg/hL; 46 to 48 lb/bu) was compared to normal corn (72 kg/hL; 56 lb/bu) in growing and finishing diets for largeframe crossbred steer calves in 2 consecutive yr. The source of the calves was the same each year as was the diet composition. Growing diet dry matter included 32.9% corn silage, 22.3% alfalfa haylage, 37% dry rolled corn, and 7.8% protein supplement. Finishing diet dry matter included 9.2% corn silage, 86.2% dry rolled corn, and 4.6% protein supplement. Rumensin was included in both diets and steers were implanted with Synovex Sâ at the start …
