Effect Of Increasing Levels Of Condensed Corn Distillers Solubles On Performance Of Finishing Steers, G. A. Sharp, C. P. Birkelo
Effect Of Increasing Levels Of Condensed Corn Distillers Solubles On Performance Of Finishing Steers, G. A. Sharp, C. P. Birkelo
South Dakota Beef Report, 1996
A trial was conducted as a randomized block design to assess the effects of condensed corn distillers solubles (CCDS) on performance and carcass merit of yearling steers (n = 21 6) fed 90% concentrate finishing diets. CCDS was included at 0 (MSBM), 5 (5CCDS1, 10 (IOCCDS), or 20% (20CCDS) of diet DM, replacing soybean meal, molasses, and corn. Average daily gain increased (PC .051 for steers fed CCDS but, along with a numerical trend (P= .14) of increasing DMI, resulted in no improvement in FIG (P>.20). Steers were harvested on day 108. Carcass weight and dressing percent for steers …

South Dakota Beef Report, 1996
A trial was conducted as a randomized block design to assess the effects of condensed corn distillers solubles (CCDS) on performance of steer calves (n = 200) fed 40% concentrate, dry rolled corn-hay based growing diets. CCDS was included at 0 (MSBM), 5 (5CCDS1, 10 (IOCCDS), or 20% (20CCDS) of diet DM, replacing soybean meal, molasses, and corn. A corn silagetsupplement diet was also included (SIL). Dry matter intakes at higher CCDS levels were lower than that of MSBM (P<.05). Average daily gain was not affected (P>.20) and, as a result, feed efficiency (FIG) tended to improve (P = .14). Steers fed SIL consumed less DM …
