Impact Of Distillers Removal And Impact Of Lowering Inclusions Of Distillers Grains Plus Solubles And Different Roughage Quality On Finishing Cattle Performance, Sofia Suarez Lorences
Impact Of Distillers Removal And Impact Of Lowering Inclusions Of Distillers Grains Plus Solubles And Different Roughage Quality On Finishing Cattle Performance, Sofia Suarez Lorences
Department of Animal Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
A feedlot trial (Exp. 1) was conducted to evaluate the impact of removing modified distillers grains plus solubles (MDGS) on performance and carcass characteristics. Cattle with MDGS removed on either d 79 or d 43 had reduced final BW, DMI, and ADG. Cattle with MDGS removed on d 43 were 5% less efficient than cattle fed 20% MDGS throughout the entire 124-d feeding period. Cattle fed 20% MDGS throughout the whole feeding had the greatest HCW and LM area. There were no differences in backfat and marbling scores among treatments, and no differences in percent of abscessed livers. In conclusion, …

Effect Of Corn Silage Harvest, Hybrid, And Concentration On Performance In Growing And Finishing Beef Cattle, Fred H. Hilscher Jr
Department of Animal Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Six studies were conducted to evaluate effects of corn silage harvest, hybrid, and concentration in growing and finishing diets. Experiment 1, evaluated corn silage DM (37 or 43%) and replacing corn grain with silage (15 or 45% of diet DM) in finishing diets. Experiment 2, evaluated corn silage DM (37 or 43%) and response to rumen undegradable protein (RUP) supplementation in growing diets. Experiment 3, evaluated nutrient digestibility of 37 or 43% DM corn silage at two different intakes. Experiment 4, 5, and 6 evaluated three corn silage hybrids: a standard hybrid control (CON), a brown midrib (bm3) …
