Feeding value of dried distillers' grains (DDG) in beef feedlot rations. Final report
Dried distillers' grains (DDG) replaced flaked corn in the feed for steers in the Colorado State University feedlot at rates of 0%, 15%, and 30% of finishing rations. Steers were randomly assigned to six pen treatments with each treatment replicated. No significant differences in weight gains, feed efficiency, or general health were observed between treatments. Likewise, differences in carcass quality were negligible. Under the conditions of this experiment ad prevailing prices, DDG was worth $113/ton. If its full value as a protein supplement had been credited, it would have had a value of $131/ton. This compares to the market price at the time of $150/ton for DDG.
