Dry-rolled corn was processed to a mean geometric particle size of either 2,000 or 3,800 microns. Adding the liquid supplement at 6% to the coarse-rolled finishing ration improved gain (P<.1) and feed efficiency (P<.1). Incorporation of Synergy 19/14 into feedlot rations may help reduce fluctuations in feed intake.BeefMolassesFatSteersFinishingCarcassesMolasses-fat blend as an energy source and conditioning agent in feedlot dietsConference paper
