Effect Of Corn Processing And Reconstitution In High Grain Diets On Feedlot Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Steers And Heifers, M. A. Robbins, R. H. Pritchard
Effect Of Corn Processing And Reconstitution In High Grain Diets On Feedlot Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Steers And Heifers, M. A. Robbins, R. H. Pritchard
South Dakota Beef Report, 1994
A 167-day feedlot trial was conducted to examine the effects of corn processing and reconstitution on growth performance and carcass characteristics of feedlot cattle. Initial weights of the continental cross steers (n = 95) and heifers (n =63) were 690 and 680 Ib, respectively. Diets were 84.5% corn, 7.0% ground grass hay, 4.9% soybean meal, and 3.6% liquid supplement. The grain component of the diet was either dry whole corn (WC), dry rolled corn (RC), corn reconstituted at least 12 h before rolling (RRC), or corn reconstituted with a commercial surfactant3 at least 12 hours before rolling (CRC).

Effect Of Corn Processing And Reconstitution On The Digestibility Of High Grain Diets, M. A. Robbins, R. H. Pritchard
Effect Of Corn Processing And Reconstitution On The Digestibility Of High Grain Diets, M. A. Robbins, R. H. Pritchard
South Dakota Beef Report, 1994
Twelve steers (body weight 955 Ib + 37) were allotted to a 4 x 4 Latin square design digestion trial to examine the effects of corn processing on feed utilization. The grain component of the diet was either dry whole corn (WC), dry rolled corn (RC), corn reconstituted 12 hours before rolling (RRC), or corn reconstituted with a commercial surfactant3 12 hours before rolling (CRC). Dry matter content of the WC, RC, RRC, and CRC diets were 87.91, 87.30, 82.1 9, and 82.14%, respectively. Treatment had no effect on the digestibilities of dry matter (71.00% ± 1.57), organic matter (72.22% …
