Use Of Ddgs As The Primary Source Of Supplemental Crude Protein In Calf Receiving Diets, Robbi H. Pritchard, Donald L. Boggs
South Dakota Beef Report, 2006
This experiment was designed to determine whether DDGS could be used as the primary source of supplemental crude protein in receiving calf diets. Diets included 45% oat hay and rolled corn. The control diet included 11.8% SBM as the source of supplemental crude protein. The DDGS was fed at 18.9% of diet replacing SBM. There was 1.3% SBM included in the DDGS diets. Diets were formulated for 13% CP and 48 Mcal/cwt NEG. The 47-d experiment began at arrival at the feedlot and involved 294 steer calves (604 lb). Calf gains (2.49 vs 2.54 lb/d) and F/G (5.76 vs 5.61) …
