  • Degermed corn distiller’s grains with solubles (DGS) have feed value similar to traditional distiller’s grains
    Depenbusch, B.E.; Drouillard, J.S.; Loe, E.R.; Quinn, M.J.; Corrigan, M.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2007)
    Rapid expansion of the fuel ethanol industry has greatly increased availability of distillery byproducts. Distiller’s grains with solubles (DGS) are the predominant byproduct of fermenting grains into fuel ethanol. During ...
  • Determining optimum flake density for feedlot heifers
    May, M.L.; Quinn, M.J.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2008)
    Escalating costs of natural gas and electrical utilities have greatly increased the cost of flaking grain for feedlots. Energy demand for flaking is inversely related to bulk density of flaked grain; the lighter, more ...
  • Digestibility of dried distiller’s grains with solubles in steam-flaked or dry-rolled corn diets
    May, M.L.; Hands, M.J.; Quinn, M.J.; Wallace, J.O.; Reinhardt, C.D.; Murray, L.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2008)
    In previous experiments, we observed that the nutritional value of dried distiller’s grains is less when added to finishing diets made of steam-flaked corn than when added to diets of dry-rolled corn. We hypothesized that ...
  • Dried distiller’s grains in steam-flaked corn finishing diets with decreased roughage levels
    May, M.L.; Quinn, M.J.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Karges, K.K.; Gibson, M.L.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2008)
    Distiller’s grains are the primary coproduct derived from fuel ethanol production. As the fuel ethanol industry expands into the High Plains, distiller’s grains are becoming increasingly available as an alternative ...
  • Dried distiller’s grains with solubles in steam-flaked or dry-rolled corn diets with reduced roughage levels
    May, M.L.; Hands, M.L.; Quinn, M.J.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Wallace, J.O.; Reinhardt, C.D.; Karges, K.K.; Gibson, M.L.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2008)
    Distiller’s grains have been used extensively in the U.S. Corn Belt, where producers commonly feed dry-rolled or highmoisture corn. Fuel ethanol production is expanding into the High Plains, where most feedlots flake ...
  • The effects of Flaxlic block supplementation on finishing feedlot heifers
    Quinn, M.J.; Drouillard, J.S.; Loe, E.R.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Webb, A.S.; Corrigan, M.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2006)
    An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of FlaxLic supplement blocks, fed free-choice during feedlot finishing, on heifer performance, carcass quality, and fatty acid profiles of loin steaks. Heifers (n=302, ...
  • The effects of ractopamine-HCl (optaflexx) on finishing feedlot heifers
    Quinn, M.J.; Drouillard, J.S.; Loe, E.R.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Corrigan, M.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2007)
    Whether occurring naturally or synthetically, beta-agonists are classified as phenethanolamines based on their chemical structure. Other specificities of structure determine the exact behavior of the compound in animals. ...
  • The effects of ractopamine-HCl (optaflexx) on performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of finishing feedlot heifers
    Quinn, M.J.; Drouillard, J.S.; Reinhardt, C.D.; Depenbusch, B.E.; May, M.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2007)
    Beta-adrenergic agonists are commonly used in livestock production to accelerate growth by enhancing lean tissue gain. These compounds repartition nutrients away from fat deposition and toward protein accretion. Generally, ...
  • Efficacy of feed grade antibiotics in finishing diets containing distiller’ grains with solubles (DGS)
    Depenbusch, B.E.; Drouillard, J.S.; Loe, E.R.; Quinn, M.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2007)
    Rumensin and Tylan, both marketed by Elanco Products Company, have proved to be valuable feed additives when fed to finishing feedlot cattle. Rumensin was approved in the mid-1970s to improve feed efficiency and average ...
  • Optimizing use of distiller’s grains with solubles (DGS) in finishing cattle diets
    Depenbusch, B.E.; Drouillard, J.S.; Loe, E.R.; Corrigan, M.E.; Quinn, M.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2007)
    Rapid expansion of the fuel ethanol industry has increased availability of distillery byproducts. Distiller’s grains with solubles (DGS) are the predominant byproduct of fermenting grains to fuel ethanol. During this ...
  • Supplementing fructose-based block supplements to forage-fed cattle increases capacity for lactic acid metabolism
    Miller, K.A.; Quinn, M.J.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Acidosis is one of the more important maladies afflicting cattle fed significant amounts of grain and has enormous economic impact for feedlots, dairies, and producers of seed stock. The highest incidence of acidosis ...
  • Wet distiller’s grains with solubles in beef finishing diets comprised of steam-flaked or dry-rolled corn
    May, M.L.; Drouillard, J.S.; Quinn, M.J.; Walker, C.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2007)
    The purpose of this experiment was to determine optimal levels of distiller’s grains in finished diets with steam-flaked corn or dry rolled corn. Distiller’s grains have been used extensively in regions of the country in ...
