    Twelve ruminally cannulated Jersey steers were used to measure digestibility and ruminal characteristics of steam-flaked corn based diets containing combinations of wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) and alfalfa hay (AH). ...
  • Substituting steam-flaked corn with distiller’s grains alters ruminal fermentation and diet digestibility
    Uwituze, S.; Parsons, G.L.; Shelor, M.K.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Karges, K.K.; Gibson, M.L.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2008)
    Rapid expansion of fuel ethanol production in the High Plains, where feedlots commonly use steam-flaked corn diets, has popularized substituting dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS) for a portion of the ...
  • Supplementation strategies for forage-fed beef steers
    Drouillard, J.S.; Hunter, R.D.; Nutsch, T.A.; Blasi, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
