Ten ruminally cannulated heifers (BW = 416 kg; SD = 24) were used to test the effect of the form and frequency of supplemental energy on forage DMI and digestibility. Five treatments were arranged in a replicated, 5 × 4 Latin rectangle (n = 8), and included no supplement (control), dry-rolled corn (DRC) fed daily, DRC fed on alternate days (DRC-A), dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) fed daily, and DDGS fed on alternate days (DDGS-A). Supplements fed daily were fed at 0.40% of BW, whereas alternate day-fed supplements were fed at 0.80% of BW every other day. Chopped grass …

Two experiments evaluated the inclusion of urea in distillers dried grains supplements. In Exp. 1, 60 Angus heifers (278 ± 16 kg) were individually fed diets consisting of 58% ground corn cobs, 12% sorghum silage, and 30% distillers dried grains (DM basis) in Calan electronic gates. Urea replaced distillers dried grains at 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, or 1.6% of diet DM. In Exp. 2, 48 crossbred heifers were fed meadow hay ad libitum and 1.4 kg (DM) distillers dried grains to which was added either 0 or 45 g urea/ heifer daily. In both experiments, no response in animal weight …
