Behaviors of beef cattle fed crude glycerol as a replacement for sorghum grain

G74-136 Grain Sorghum Processing for Beef Cattle

Feeding behaviors of transition dairy cows fed glycerol as a replacement for corn.

Feed sorting is a natural behavior of dairy cows that can result in inconsistencies in the nutritive value of a total mixed ration (TMR). The objective of this study was to determine the effects of replacing high-moisture corn with glycerol on feed sorting and the feed intake pattern of transition dairy cows. Multiparous Holstein cows (n=26) were paired by expected calving date, housed in indiv...

Ruminal Transcriptomic Analysis of Grass-Fed and Grain-Fed Angus Beef Cattle

Feeding value of glycerol as a replacement for corn grain in rations fed to lactating dairy cows.

Growth of the corn ethanol industry has created a need for alternatives to corn for lactating dairy cows. Concurrent expansion in soydiesel production is expected to increase availability and promote favorable pricing for glycerol, a primary co-product material. The objective of this study was to determine the feeding value of glycerol as a replacement for corn in diets fed to lactating dairy c...
