Energy Value Of De-Oiled Distillers Grains Plus Solubles In Beef Cattle Diets, Meredith L. Bremer
Energy Value Of De-Oiled Distillers Grains Plus Solubles In Beef Cattle Diets, Meredith L. Bremer
Department of Animal Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Ethanol plants are centrifuging off oil from the thin stillage stream as it has added market value currently. The impact of oil removal on cattle performance has been minimally researched. Thus four trials, one growing, one digestion, and two feedlot, were designed to determine the energy and feeding value of de-oiled distillers grains in beef cattle diets.
In growing cattle diets, diet concentration of modified distillers grains plus solubles (MDGS) impacted cattle performance more than oil content. Ending BW, ADG, and G:F did not differ between cattle fed de-oiled or full fat MDGS, however cattle fed de-oiled MDGS had lower …
