The Advantages of Using Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Solublesin Dairy Beef DietsAn Economical Addition to Dairy Beef Diets:• Dry distillers grains with solubles is an excellent feed for growing Holstein steersRecent research results from Iowa State University have shown that 10, 20 or 40% of the rationdry matter as dry distillers grains with solubles could be fed to growing Holstein steers from 425to 700 lbs without affecting feed intake or gain. Feeding wet distillers grains with solubles tendedto decrease feed intake of the growing steers, but improved feed conversion. Feed cost of gainwas reduced 6% when corn was priced at $2.25/bu and dry distillers grains at $85/ton. At thesame prices, feeding wet distillers grains reduced cost of gain 13%.• Wet or dry distillers grains can be fed to growing and finishing Holstein steersDuring the 299-day feeding trial, feeding dry distillers grains at 10, 20 or 40% of ration drymatter did not affect feedlot performance or cost of gain. Steers fed 10% wet distillers grainswere 4% more efficient and had 5% lower feed cost of gain. Feeding 40% of ration dry matter aswet distillers grains reduced feed intake and rate of gain with similar feed conversion and cost ofgain.• Feeding distillers grains to growing and finishing Holstein steers can increase profitsWith corn prices at $2.25/bu, there is profit from feeding 10, 20 or 40% distillers grains togrowing Holstein steers if the price of distillers grains is less than $100/ton ($33/ton for wetdistillers grains with 30% dry matter). When price of distillers grains is low compared with corn,there are greater profits from feeding higher levels. During the growing and finishing period withcorn at $2.25/bu, the price of dry distillers grains had to be less than $85/ton to profitably includeit in the ration. Feeding 10 or 20% wet distillers grains to growing and finishing Holstein steerscontinued to be profitable with the price of the wet grains at $33/ton.• Feeding wet or dry distillers grains does not affect carcass valueFeeding 10, 20 or 40% dry distillers grains or 10 and 20% wet distillers grains did not affectcarcass weight, marbling, or yield grades. Steers fed 40% wet distillers grains had lightercarcasses but similar marbling and yield grades. Carcass value based on grade and yield or amarketing grid with premiums or discounts for quality and yield grades was not affected byfeeding wet or dry distillers grains.• Keys to feeding distillers grains to Holstein steers– Make changes in the ration to account for the nutrients supplied by distillers grains,namely protein and phosphorus.– Maintain adequate quantities of effective fiber in the rations containing distillersgrains.– Keep the supply of wet distillers grains fresh.– Feed the steers to similar final weight as those not fed distillers grains.For additional information on feeding distillers grains to cattle contact:Allen TrenkleDepartment of Animal ScienceIowa State UniversityAmes, Iowa 50011515-294-444705/19/2004
Distiller Grain Trial Rincker and Berger (2003)OPTIMIZING THE USE OF DISTILLER GRAINFOR DAIRY-BEEF PRODUCTIONC.B. Rincker and L.L. BergerUniversity of IllinoisSUMMARYOptimizing the use of distiller grain (DG) is becoming increasingly important as ethanol productionincreases. Dairy-beef production is a system that has the potential to use large amounts of DG. Threehundredand twenty Holstein steers (420.7 + 71.5 lbs initial wt.) were fed finishing diets at theUniversity of Illinois Beef Research Unit. Forty pens were each randomly assigned to ten treatmentswith eight calves per pen. Ten dietary treatments of various DG levels were randomly assigned to 4different pens. The calves were fed ad libitum and the cattle were weighed in 28-day intervals. After112 days, both treatments 7 and 8 along with 9 and 10 were switched to represent the change from20% to 37.5% and from 37.5% to 20% for both wet distiller grain (WDG) and dry distiller grain(DDG) (DM basis). Implants were administered twice during the course of the trial. Fecal sampleswere collected on a per pen basis, sub sampled, and then analyzed for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P),and sulfur (S). Cattle were then weighed at 270 d and sent to Packerland (Green Bay, WI) to beharvested. Effects of dietary treatment were analyzed using the GLM procedure of SAS. Orthogonalcontrasts were used for the control versus DG diets, DDG versus WDG, and diet change from 20 to37.5% DG versus 37.5 to 20% DG (represented in treatments 7 through 10). Linear and quadraticcontrasts were also used for the level of DDG and WDG.Performance values for average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), and feed efficiencyexpressed in feed:gain (F:G) were evaluated for the growing period (112 d) and for the entire trial (270d). Steers fed all treatments performed well and the use of DG showed the potential to improveprofitability. Steers had a significant linear decrease in ADG with an increasing level of WDG diets(P=.0202) and steers which shifted from high DG to (37.5%) low DG (20%) had significantly lowerADG than steers switched from low DG (20%) to high DG (37.5%) (P=.0035). There was asignificant quadratic effect on DMI with increasing WDG (P
