Effects of feeding combinations of steam-flaked grain sorghum and steam-flaked, high-moisture, or dry-rolled corn on growth performance and carcass characteristics in feedlot cattle.
The objective of these two feeding trials was to determine the associative effects of feeding steam-flaked grain sorghum (SFGS) in combination with steam-flaked (SFC), dry-rolled (DRC), or high-moisture (HMC) corn on growth performance and carcass characteristics in feedlot cattle. In Trial 1, 200 yearling heifers were blocked by weight, allotted to 25 pens, and fed one of five finishing diets ...
متن کاملNet absorption and utilization of nitrogenous compounds across ruminal, intestinal, and hepatic tissues of growing beef steers fed dry-rolled or steam-flaked sorghum grain.
Our objectives were to determine effects of grain processing on splanchnic (gut tissues and liver) N metabolism and whole-body N balance by growing steers and to ascertain the relative contributions of ruminal and intestinal tissues to net absorption and utilization of N-containing nutrients. Seven beef steers (348 kg initial BW), surgically implanted with appropriate catheters, were fed diets ...
متن کاملEffect of steam-flaked sorghum grain density on performance, mill production rate, and subacute acidosis in feedlot steers.
Two trials were conducted to determine the effects of steam-flaked sorghum grain bulk density on animal performance, cost of production, and propensity to induce ruminal acidosis in feedlot steers. In Trial 1, 336 yearling steers (343 kg; SEM = .346) were fed diets for 125 d that contained sorghum grain (82.5%, DM basis) flaked to .283 (L), .322 (M), or .361 (H) kg/L (i.e., 22, 25, and 28 lb/bu...
متن کاملDry-rolled or steam-flaked grain-based diets and fecal shedding of Escherichia coli O157 in feedlot cattle.
Hindgut is a major colonization site for Escherichia coli O157 in cattle. In this study, diets were formulated to effect changes in hindgut fermentation to test our hypothesis that changes in the hindgut ecosystem could have an impact on fecal shedding of E. coli O157. Feedlot heifers (n = 347) were prescreened for the prevalence of E. coli O157 by fecal and rectoanal mucosal swab cultures. A s...
متن کاملInfluence of Protein Supplementation on the Feeding Value of Dry Rolled and Steam-Flaked Corn in Diets for Feedlot Cattle
Eighty medium-framed yearling crossbreed heifers (357 kg) were used in a 110-d trial to evaluate the influence of dietary protein level (11 vs 14%) on the feeding value of dry rolled (DRC) and steam-flaked corn (SFC). All diets contained 1% urea, cottonseed meal (CSM) was the source of supplemental UIP. Steam flaking corn reduced DMI (9%, P < .10), and increased (P < .01) feed efficiency (14%),...
