Distillers Grains for Beef Cattle
نویسنده
چکیده
Distillers byproducts are excellent feed resources for feedlot cattle. Distillers byproducts are normally available for use in feedlot finishing diets in two forms, dried distillers and wet distillers byproducts (WDB). In general, there are two nutritional philosophies regarding their use in feedlot finishing diets. Distillers byproducts can be fed at 6 to 15% of the diet dry matter, serving primarily as a source of supplemental protein. When fed at higher levels (greater than 15% of the diet dry matter), the byproduct's primary role is a source of energy replacing corn grain. Other than dry matter content (wet distillers, 35-45%; dried distillers, 90-95%), the chemical composition of the two distillers byproducts is similar. Distillers byproducts contains 10-15% fat (oil), 40-45% neutral detergent fiber, 30-35% crude protein and 5% ash (NRC, 1996).

Characteristics of Beef Finished on Wet Distillers Grains with Varying Types and Levels of Roughage
Beef knuckles (n = 160) were obtained from source-verified cattle finished on 30% wet distillers grains plus solubles enriched with varying levels of alfalfa hay, corn silage, or corn stalks based on NDF. Our objectives were to determine if roughage inclusion, in conjunction with wet distillers grains plus solubles and cattle location affects beef flavor. Data from this study indicate type and ...

I M P R O V I N G the utilization of urea nitrogen by ruminants has been the goal of many investigations. One approach, as exemplified by the study of Karr et al. (1965), has involved the addition of certain feedstuffs, which are thought to be sources of "rumen stimulatory" factors, to the diet with the hope of increasing microbial protein synthesis. Two examples of such feedstuffs are corn dis...
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 کاملFeeding Ethanol Byproducts to Dairy and Beef Cattle1
Distillers grains with solubles (DGS) and corn gluten feed (CGF) are the major byproducts of ethanol production fed to cattle. Both DGS and CGF can be fed wet or dried with animal performance usually similar when fed as wet or dried products; however, some research results favored the wet products. Cattle diets can contain DGS or CGF as replacements for portions of both concentrates and forages...
متن کاملStrategies, Benefits, and Challenges of Feeding Ethanol Byproducts to Dairy and Beef Cattle
Ethanol byproducts or coproducts (I may use the two terms interchangeably) result from the fermentation of grains, typically corn, to produce ethanol – either for fuel use or for human consumption plus distillers grains and possibly other byproducts. Most of the ethanol produced in the U.S.A. today is via dry grinding, with dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) as the main byproduct (Rau...
