Abstract

ABSTRACT Two experiments evaluated the effects of dietary inclusion of corn wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS) or partially dried modified distillers grains plus solubles (MDGS) on finishing cattle performance and carcass characteristics. Experiment 1 used 288 steers (BW = 351 ± 11 kg). Cattle were weighed, stratified within block, and assigned randomly to pens (8 steers/pen; 6 pens/treatment) to evaluate 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% (DM basis) dietary inclusion of WDGS replacing a blend of high-moisture and dry-rolled corn. Experiment 2 used 288 steers (BW = 332 ± 17 kg) to evaluate the effects of MDGS inclusion with similar methodology as Exp. 1. In Exp. 1, quadratic responses (P
