Effects of Including Malting Industry Byproducts in Feedlot Diets on Performance and Beef Quality

Eighty crossbred steers (436 kg) were used to determine effects of including a malting industry byproduct blend (MB) in finishing diets on performance, DM digestibility, carcass characteristics, meat color, tenderness, and sensory traits. Steers, blocked by BW, were randomly assigned to 1 of 16 pens...

Zusammenfassung:Eighty crossbred steers (436 kg) were used to determine effects of including a malting industry byproduct blend (MB) in finishing diets on performance, DM digestibility, carcass characteristics, meat color, tenderness, and sensory traits. Steers, blocked by BW, were randomly assigned to 1 of 16 pens. Dietary treatments (DM basis) were 1 (control) [78% corn grain (CG), 16% corn silage (S), 6% supplement (SUPP)]; 2 [66% CG, 11% S, 20% wet corn gluten feed (WGF), 3% SUPP]; 3 (64% CG, 13% S, 20% MB, 3% SUPP); and 4 [55% CG, 21% S, 14% MB, 7% condensed distillers' solubles (DS), 3% SUPP]. Steers on Treatment 1 gained faster (P
