Article Synopsis
- Six steers were used in a study to assess the effects of replacing corn silage with pelleted soyhulls in high-concentrate diets containing modified distillers grains.
- Results showed that as the proportion of soyhulls increased, both absolute and proportional dry matter intake tended to decrease, while adding wheat straw had no significant impact on DMI.
- Additionally, changes in the molar proportions of volatile fatty acids suggested dietary adjustments with soyhulls could affect rumen fermentation, indicating a need for further research before this replacement is recommended for cattle feeding practices.
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the inclusion rate roughage in wheat-based diets containing modified distillers grains with solubles (MDGS) on feedlot performance (Feedlot Experiment), as well as digestibility, ruminal pH, and ruminal fermentation characteristics (Digestibility Experiment). The feedlot experiment utilized 72 Angus steers (392 ± 46.3 kg initial body weight) which were randomly assigned to 1 of 12 pens, 3 pens per treatment, to evaluate feedlot performance and carcass characteristics.

In Experiment 1, 139 steers (440.4 ± 31.
