Dried Distillers Grains Supplementation of Calves Grazing Corn Residue
One hundred and twenty steers (512 37 lb) were stratified by weight and assigned randomly to incremental levels of DDGS treatments. Steers were limit fed a 47.5% alfalfa, 47.5% WCGF 5% supplement diet for five days at the beginning and end of the trial and weighed for three consecutive days to minimize variation due to gut fill. Treatments included 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 lb DDGS/ he...
متن کاملEffect of Dried Distillers Grains Supplementation on Calves Grazing Bermudagrass Pasture or Fed Low-Quality Hay
The objective of the following experiments was to examine the effect of dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) supplementation of calves grazing bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) pasture during summer (Exp. 1) or fed lowquality tall fescue hay (Exp. 2, Festuca arundinacea) during winter months. In Exp. 1, a total of 36 steers (261 kg) were randomly assigned to one of nine 0.81-ha pastures r...
متن کاملEffects of dried distillers grains and equivalent undegradable intake protein or ether extract on performance and forage intake of heifers grazing smooth bromegrass pastures.
Crossbred heifers (n = 120; BW = 368 kg, SD = 39 kg) were used to determine effects of dried distillers grains (DDG) and relative contributions of undegradable intake protein (UIP) and fat (ether extract, EE) in DDG on ADG and forage intake (FI). Heifers rotationally grazed six 3.5-ha, smooth bromegrass paddocks (IVDMD = 65.7%, CP = 20.8%, UIP = 2.17%, DM basis). Heifers were blocked by previou...
متن کاملAcetylation of corn distillers dried grains
This paper shows that acidic conditions provide substantially higher % acetyl content, intrinsic viscosity and thermoplasticity even at low ratios of acetic anhydride and catalyst concentrations compared to using alkaline conditions for acetylation of oil-and-zein-free distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Conventional methods of carbohydrate and protein acetylation are unsuitable for a...
متن کاملEffects of nitrogen fertilization and dried distillers grains supplementation: forage use and performance of yearling steers.
In a 3-yr study, corn dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) were evaluated as a substitute for forage and N fertilizer in yearling steers grazing smooth bromegrass. A total of 135 steers (330 +/- 10 kg) were used in a randomized complete block design to measure the effects of DDGS supplementation and N fertilization on animal and pasture performance. Steers were initially stocked at 6.8 ...
