Feeding high-moisture corn (HMC) with dry-rolled grain sorghum (DRGS) showed associative effects in cattle. Processing and storage methods for HMC also influenced steer performance and nutrient availability.

Area of Science:

  • Animal Science
  • Ruminant Nutrition
  • Feed Science

Background:

  • High-moisture corn (HMC) is a valuable feedstuff for cattle.
  • Understanding associative effects between HMC and other grains is crucial for optimizing diets.
  • Evaluating HMC processing and storage impacts nutrient availability and animal performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine associative effects of feeding HMC with dry-rolled grain sorghum (DRGS) or dry-rolled corn (DRC).
  • To evaluate the impact of HMC moisture content, storage structure, and processing (whole vs. rolled) on performance.

Main Methods:

  • Four trials were conducted: two finishing, one laboratory, and one metabolism trial.
  • Yearling steers were fed various grain mixtures and HMC treatments.

  • Measurements included animal performance (ADG, gain/feed), ruminal parameters (pH, VFA), and in vitro starch digestion.

    • Main Results:

    • Increasing DRGS in HMC mixtures linearly decreased average daily gain (ADG) and gain/feed.
    • HMC stored whole in an oxygen-limiting silo and rolled before feeding improved steer gain and efficiency compared to whole HMC.
    • Increased bunker storage of HMC increased in vitro starch digestion and soluble N, while decreasing pH.

    Conclusions:

    • Feeding HMC mixed with DRGS, when ground and stored appropriately, demonstrated a 3.2% associative effect.
    • No associative effects were observed when HMC, stored whole and fed whole or rolled, was mixed with DRC.
