This book was released on 2012 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in voluntary intake and digestibility of moderate-quality, long-stem fescue hay (9.5% crude protein (CP); dry matter (DM) basis) by steers consuming 4 levels of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) (27.7% CP; DM basis). Four ruminally cannulated Hereford steers (avg 364 ± 63 kg initial body weight (BW)) were housed in individual pens (4 x 4 m) and randomly assigned to treatment blocks in a completely randomized, replicated 4x4 Latin Square experimental design. Treatments were Control (C), Low (L), Moderate (M) and High (H) and were fed at 0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8% of BW daily, respectively. Each period consisted of a 10 day adaptation and a 7 day collection, during which hay intake, orts, and total fecal output were measured daily, followed by a 10 day washout. Data were analyzed using GLM Procedure of SAS, where the model included the fixed effects of treatment and period and steer was included as a random variable. Total dry matter intake increased (P= 0.02) and total organic matter intake increased (P = 0.003) as DDGS supplementation increased. Total tract, apparent organic matter digestibility increased (P = 0.01) as DDGS supplementation increased. Total NDF and ADF intake and digestibility was not different (P ≥ 0.19) between treatments. When fed at 0.4% of BW or greater, DDGS supplementation decreases voluntary intake of moderate-quality, long-stem fescue hay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments were conducted to define the degradation kinetics of purified fiber products compared to conventional feedstuffs. In situ analysis was conducted on soybean hulls, dried distillers grains, dried corn gluten feed, rice mill, wheat middlings, solka floc, oat fiber (200 and 300 series), corn bran, red and white wheat bran using nylon bags. In situ results determined oat fiber (300) and solka floc were most similar to soybean hulls and secondly to corn gluten feed. An oat fiber: solka floc mixture was formulated for subsequent experiments. The in vitro experiment consisted of alfalfa hay, soybean hulls, corn gluten feed, oat fiber (300), solka floc, and 60% oat fiber: 40% solka floc. In vitro DM disappearance was greatest for soybean hulls followed by oat fiber, corn gluten feed, and the fiber mixture. In vitro gas production was greatest for soybean hulls, oat fiber, and the fiber mixture. Subsequently six cannulated steers and six wether lambs were arranged in replicated 3 x 3 Latin squares to determine effects of supplementing purified fiber to steers and lambs consuming tall fescue hay on nutrient disappearance, ruminal kinetics, and N balance. Free choice hay was supplemented with 40% solka floc: 60% oat fiber at 0, 0.25, or 0.50% of BW. Steer forage intake and total N intake were not affected by supplementation. Total intake of OM, NDF, and ADF increased with supplementation. Ruminal and total tract OM, NDF, and ADF disappearance increased with supplementation. Ruminal and total tract nitrogen disappearance were not affected by supplementation in steers. In lambs, organic matter, NDF, and ADF digested in the total tract was increased with supplementation. Total tract N digestion decreased, however, retention was not affected. In steers, ruminal acetate concentration tended to increase, butyrate increased, and propionate not affected by supplementation. Ruminal pH increased with supplementation. Ruminal NH3 -N concentrations decreased with supplementation, but a treatment x time interaction existed. These data indicate that in both steers and lambs supplementing tall fescue hay diets with digestible fiber increases ruminal and total tract fiber digestion without affecting forage intake or digestion of nitrogen while also increasing ruminally available energy. Key Words: Supplement, Digestion, Tall Fescue.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steers consuming 3.39 and 4.52 kg DDG, had increased (P = 0.05) NH3-N. Level of DDG affected PUN (P = 0.05) and tended (P = 0.09) to effect NEFA and glucose concentrations. Experiment 3, a Latin square design, all steers received RBS and were assigned to: 1) RBS only; 2) DDG supplement at 0.33% BW; 3) DDG supplement at 0.66% BW; or, 4) DDG supplement at 1% BW. There was a quadratic (P = 0.05) response to the amount of DDG supplemented on RBS DMI, total DMI intake, and total tract apparent DM digestibility and a linear (P P = 0.02) with amount of DDG and a cubic response (P 3-N concentrations. In conclusion, addition of SBM had no effect on heifer growth or reproductive performance, and increasing levels of DDG increased total DMI, digestibility, fecal output, and altered rumen parameters.

Download or read book Assigning a Value to Dried Distillers Grains as a Protein Supplement in Cattle Consuming Low quality Forage written by Zachary Joseph Rambo and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cattle consuming low-quality forage may have decreased forage organic matter intake as a result of decreased nitrogen (N) intake. To date, a value has not been assigned to dried distillers' grains as a protein supplement to cattle consuming low-quality Bermudagrass forage. To address this shortcoming in the data, 13 duodenally and ruminally fistulated steers were arranged in an incomplete 13 x 4 Latin square with 13 treatments and 4 periods. Treatments were arranged as a 4 x 3 factorial plus a negative control (NC), which received no supplement. The first factor consisted of 4 levels of supplemental protein provided at 52, 104, 156, and 208 mg N/kg BW. The second factor consisted of one of three supplemental protein sources, cottonseed meal (CSM), dried distillers' grains (DDG), and dried distillers' grains plus urea (DDGU). Total digestible organic matter (TDOMI), and total organic matter intake (TOMI) increased in response to the increasing level of supplemental protein (P
