Abstract
A total of 60 heifer calves grazing smooth bromegrass pastures were used to compare supplementation of 0.5% of body weight per head daily of corn or dried distillers grains (DDG) in 2014 and 2015. Daily gains of heifers supplemented with corn or DDG were similar (P > 0.05).
Highlights
Distillers grains, a by-product of the ethanol industry, have tremendous potential as an economical and nutritious supplement for grazing cattle
This research was conducted to compare performance of stocker cattle supplemented with corn or dried distillers grains (DDG) at 0.5% body weight per head daily while grazing smooth bromegrass pastures
A total of 120 heifer calves grazing smooth bromegrass pastures were used to compare supplementation with 0.5% of body weight per head daily of corn or dried distillers grains (DDG) in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017
Summary
A total of 120 heifer calves grazing smooth bromegrass pastures were used to compare supplementation with 0.5% of body weight per head daily of corn or dried distillers grains (DDG) in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. Gains of heifers supplemented with corn or DDG were similar (P > 0.05)
