Influence of mixtures of high moisture corn and dry rolled wheat on finishing performance and carcass characteristics

Bock, B.J.; Brandt, Robert T., Jr.; Harmon, D.L.
Dry rolled wheat and high moisture corn were fed singly and in three

combinations in a 132-day finishing trial. Daily gain, feed intake, and final live

weight were greatest on the 75% corn:25% wheat diet. Feed efficiencies and

carcass characteristics were not affected by grain combination. Daily gain and

feed intake tended to decrease as percentage of wheat in the diet increased above

25%.
