Limit-feeding corn as an alternative to hay for gestating beef cows.
Three experiments were conducted to determine the efficacy of limit-feeding corn-based diets as an alternative to hay for beef cows in gestation and early lactation. Seventy or 71 mature, pregnant Simmental crossbred cows (average weight = 589 +/- 10 kg) were used in each trial. Each of 29 or 30 cows was fed approximately 5 kg of whole shelled corn, 1.2 kg of a pelletted supplement, and 1 kg of...
متن کاملFeeding Corn Milling Co-Products to Dairy and Beef Cattle
Introduction The production of ethanol from corn grain has become an effective strategy to produce high quality and clean liquid transportation fuels. In fact, the growth of the U.S ethanol industry has provided an economic stimulus for U.S.-based agriculture. The feed industry plays an integral role in the ethanol production industry. For example, the primary product of the dry milling product...
متن کاملFeeding of Wet Corn Milling Byproducts to Beef Cattle
Corn milling byproducts are expected to increase dramatically in supply. Two primary types of milling processes currently exist, resulting in quite different feed products. The dry milling process produces distillers grains plus solubles, and the wet milling process produces corn gluten feed. These feeds can be marketed as wet feed, or they can be dried and marketed as either dry corn gluten fe...
متن کاملStrategies for Beef Cattle Winter Feeding in the Southeast
Introduction The profitability of beef production is as many other production systems, a function of a balance between inputs and outputs. Outputs can be more easily defined than inputs and can be simplified as pounds of beef sold in one way or another: carcass, replacement heifers, yearlings, weaned calves. However, inputs can be more challenging to define and vary greatly with different produ...
متن کاملStockpiled forage or limit-fed corn as alternatives to hay for gestating and lactating beef cows.
In Exp. 1, 31, 24, and 17 mature, pregnant Simmental x Angus cows (initial BW = 662.0 +/- 10.4 kg) in each of 3 yr were used to determine the efficacy of stockpiled orchardgrass, limit-fed corn, or ad libitum hay for maintaining cows in mid- to late gestation, respectively. In Exp. 2, 24 mature, pregnant crossbred cows (initial BW = 677.7 +/- 9.4 kg) per treatment in each of 3 yr were used to d...
