30% Distillers Grain is quite a stretch....................

Impact of DDGs on cattle marbling studied

The ethanol industry’s expansion has created a growing supply of dry distillers grains (DDGs). And DDGs are a growing part of cattle feed rations. But do DDGs lead to reduced cattle marbling scores? According to Dow Jones, a recent review of 13 university studies on cattle feeding says yes, but only if DDGs make up more than 30% of the ration’s dry matter.

And that’s not a common practice, says Chris Reinhardt, extension feedlot specialist at Kansas State University. Reinhardt conducted the review of university studies on cattle feeding with scientists from Certified Angus Beef. And Reinhardt says no single factor, including feeding DDGs, has a significant impact on cattle marbling scores.

Reinhardt says he concluded a variety of factors affect cattle marbling scores, including genetics, implants, age, and a number of different feeding practices. In fact, feedlot nutritionist Frank Goedeken says DDGs actually help improve cattle marbling scores if they make up no more than 30% of dry matter in cattle feed.

How about a link to the entire article? You're pretty sneaky about picking and choosing points to post, like your original post. When I found the actual article and posted it, you were left looking pretty silly. Same here, I think, There's nothing in this supposed article that disagrees with the Angus article that I posted. (My emphasis in your post.) I'll put the link below again so everyone can read the article and make up their own mind:

Your denial of genetics being a factor in quality grades is funny Frankie.

My feedyard has been testing DDG's for about a year now. They are feeding about 12% and getting good results with increased marbling, as good or better gains too!

Let's see if we can find someone else to blame. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think the article speaks for itself, as does your continued efforts to claim it says something else. Or your posting of this article AS IF it refuted the Angus article. It does no such thing. So keep blowing the hot air; everyone knows you're an Angus basher.

If you can't stand the hot air, get out of the kitchen!

Looks like you like to argue with yourself too! :lol:
