Abstract
ABSTRACT A 180-d finishing study was conducted to evaluate inclusion rates of modified distillers grains plus solubles (MDGS) and alkaline-treated corn residue (ATCR) on performance and carcass characteristics. Crossbred steer calves (n = 378; initial BW = 320 ± 7 kg) were used in a 2 × 3 + 1 factorial treatment arrangement. Factors included inclusion rate of MDGS (20 or 40%; DM basis) and ATCR (10, 20, or 30%; DM basis). In addition, a dry-rolled corn, 20% MDGS, and 5% untreated-corn-residue control was fed. There was a distillers inclusion–by–treated corn residue interaction for both carcass-adjusted G:F (P 0.21). Intakes were not affected by treatment (P > 0.18). Daily gain decreased linearly (P
