Trials at several research centers as well as in Kansas
(Bulletin 483, page 32) have shown roughage may be satisfactorily
omitted from finishing rations for cattle and doing so,
often reduces feed required per pound of gain. That has made
it feasible to try to finish cattle on all grain diet5, when
the grain has sufficient protein, and to omit other protein
sources as well as roughage. Other research on this subject
is reported in Kansas Bulletins 493 and 507 and on page
in this bulletin.
