Introduction • Feedlot diets 100 – 140% energy value of corn • DDGS contains 118 to 130% energy value of corn in forage diets (Loy et al., 2003)
Objective Determine the energy value of WDGS in comparison to DRC in high forage diets
Materials and MethodsPen Study Treatments DRC WDGS NRC-predicted energy and MP requirements Isocaloric Isonitrogenous Targeted 2.25 lb ADG
Materials and MethodsPen Study Diet Formulation 35% Sorghum Silage 25% WDGS or 33.6 % DRC WDGS 127% energy value of DRC Grass hay adjusted for WDGS and DRC
Materials and MethodsPen Study 160 crossbred steers (286 ± 18 kg) 67 d growing trial 10 pens (16 steers/pen)
Results Performance DRC WDGS Initial BW, lb 629 629 DMI, lb/d 18 17.6 ADG, lb 2.71 2.88 G:F .15 .16
ResultsEnergy Calculation • NRC (1996) model • TDN values • DRC – 83% • Grass Hay – 52% • SS – 65% • DRC Net Energy adjusters 100% • WDGS 98.96% to account for increased gain
ResultsEnergy Calculation • WDGS 108% TDN • 130% Estimated energy value of DRC • TDN values (108/83)
