Effects Of Feeding Insect-Protected Corn And Corn Residue To Cattle, And Evaluation Of Distillers Grains Storage When Mixed With Crop Residue On Cattle Performance, Barry Weber
Department of Animal Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Research has been conducted on genetically modified corn fed to livestock since the introduction of insect resistant hybrids. While the overwhelming conclusion of these trials demonstrate nutritional equivalency to corn from non-transgenic hybrids, the introduction of new transgenes and combinations of resistance traits necessitates continued evaluation of genetically modified corn hybrids. Expansion of the ethanol industry has resulted in the increased availability of co-products for use as a livestock feed, as well as an increase in crop residues that offer unique opportunities for use by cattle producers. A finishing trial was conducted with corn and corn silage from MON 89034, …
