Corn Glutten as Supplement

[aplusmnt]

Is there anything wrong with feeding Corn Glutten by itself as a Supplement. Was thinking recently I read someone mention something negative about it?

Would there be any harm in 2 lbs a day a head to Preg Cows or 4 lbs say three days a week? As a supplement for poor hay or grazing of stock piled fescue

I know some fellers round here that have fed it straight to their stock for years, with no problems. We've been feeding a little extra of it this year, mixed with our 12% Feed. Seem to be fine with it being mixed at 50lbs to 150 lbs of our regular ration.

The only problem we had was you couldn;t safely get within 10 feet of the back of the cow.
It is low in something that limestone takes care of. Don;t recall what it is though

Local college here is suggesting it be fed with soyhulls as a 50/50 mix.

Aplusmnt, have you found any of the by product around here. I was talking with Harv up at Ft.Scott and he has been using it to stretch his hay out. But I didn't ask where he was getting it.

One consideration with CG is whether it is meal or pellet. The pellet is handier and doesn;t brige in a feed hopper but the rotein is also lower.

I feed corn gluten (pelletized), it is 16% protein, I feed it straight,have done so for years and the cows have never had a problem with it,and seem to love it.

I heard yesterday that our local mill is having trouble gettin the gluten pellets and distillers grain.

I've been told there may be shortages of Distiller's Grain, due to end producers using it to generate electricity, and heat.

Hopkinsville plant has already sold all theirs under contract before it is produced. Loading it out as quick as they make it.

Won't be long we will not be able to get Corn or DG. Due to making gas and electricity. What will we feed these cows then? :lol:

 

[ALACOWMAN]

someone said something awhile back about liver damage from feeding straight gluten

 

[mnmtranching]

Minnesota is overrun with ethanol plants but we can't get distillers grain its going overseas or something?

How can you folks get your cattle to eat straight gluten? I can't even get my starving chickens to eat it. :shock:

I do have some gluten pellets mixed with cracked corn, 1 ton to 4 tons corn. I think there are better sources of protein however.

There can sometimes be palability issue with gluten. We had one cow that never touched it when fed straight and if it was much more then a third of a mixture she wouldn;t touch it. The others after a while develop a taste for it. Supposedly it's also a good pre-emergent herbicide
