Feeding Elevated Levels of Corn Silage in Finishing Diets Containing MDGS
نویسندگان
چکیده
A finishing experiment evaluated substitution of corn with corn silage in diets with modified distillers grains with solubles (MDGS). Steers were fed 15, 30, 45, or 55% corn silage in diets with 40% MDGS. Two additional treatments were tested with 30% corn silage and 65% MDGS and 45% corn silage and 0% MDGS. As corn silage inclusion increased, there was a slight linear increase in F:G with a linear decrease in DMI and ADG. However, ADG and F:G were improved when corn silage was fed with MDGS.

Dried distillers grains with solubles with reduced corn silage levels in beef finishing diets.
Two finishing experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of 25% dried corn distillers grains with solubles (DDG) in beef cattle finishing diets by partially replacing a portion of the grain and soybean meal in the control diets. In Exp.1, crossbred heifers (n = 377; BW 378 +/- 4.1 kg) were fed diets consisting of steam-flaked corn (SFC) with a control diet containing 0% DDG and 15% corn sil...
متن کاملUtilization of Soybean Hulls When Fed in Combination with MDGS in Finishing Diets
A finishing trial evaluated the effects of feeding different levels of soyhulls with modified distillers grains plus solubles (MDGS) on feedlot cattle performance. Soyhull inclusion level was 0, 12.5, 25, or 37.5% of diet DM. As soyhulls replaced dry rolled corn (DRC), ADG decreased linearly (4.22 vs 3.48) and F:G increased linearly in response to increasing levels of soyhulls. When comparing t...

Two finishing and one digestibility experiments evaluated the partial substitution of corn with corn silage (CS) and corn modified distillers grains with solubles (MDGS). Steers were used in Exp. 1 (n = 295; 467 ± 52 kg) and Exp. 2 (n = 225; BW = 348 ± 27 kg) in a 2 x 2 + 1 factorial arrangement of treatments with factors including CS (15 or 45%) and MDGS (20 or 40%) (15:20 – 15% CS, 20% MDGS; ...
متن کاملDistillers Grains With Solubles and Ground Ear Corn inFeedlot Diets
In a 162-day finishing study, steers were fed various levels of dried distillers grains with solubles (DGS) with ground ear corn harvested at 45% moisture, and compared with steers fed 25% DGS, rolled corn, and corn silage. Steers fed the highest level of DGS (37.5% of diet DM) with ground high-moisture ear corn had the lowest ADG and DMI, but F:G tended to be improved by feeding 25% and 37.5% ...
متن کاملNet energy of ensiled wet corn gluten feed in corn silage diets for finishing steers.
Two trials were conducted to determine the NE value of ensiled wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) in corn silage finishing diets for beef cattle. In Trial 1, 96 Angus-crossbred yearling steers were fed corn silage-based diets containing 0, 20, 40, or 60% ensiled WCGF. Increased dietary WCGF resulted in improved DMI (linear, P less than .05), ADG (linear; P less than .05), and feed/gain (linear, P less...
