Abstract
Total Tract Dry Matter Digestibility and Proportions of Ruminal Propionate Are Increased in High-Energy Limit-Fed Diets Based Primarily on Wet Corn Gluten Feed
Highlights
Previous research has shown increasing energy in diets fed to newly received growing cattle could increase morbidity
Research conducted at the Kansas State University Beef Stocker Unit has demonstrated limit-feeding high-energy diets based primarily on corn by-products such as wet corn gluten feed could offer a more efficient approach to feeding newly received growing cattle without adversely affecting health
The Bottom Line: High-energy limit-fed diets based primarily on wet corn gluten feed are 15% more digestible and produce a higher concentration of energy yielding volatile fatty acid compared to lowenergy full-fed diets without apparent disruptions in ruminal fermentation or health
