[QUOTE="dcara, post: 34885, member: 473"] Below is a link to a Steer Feeding presentation out of UW. The upshot is that the ideal amount of roughage intake is a function of the animal weight. The lighter/younger the calf the higher the percentage of DMI roughage should be and for animals over 800 lbs there should be little to no roughage. The other interesting thing was that the results reported here show an ADG of 2.7 for cracked corn and 2.8 for whole corn. Yet I know I have another research paper somewhere comparing various corn rations which indicate the better utilization of cracked over whole corn. I think it may have concluded that steam flaked corn had the best utilization. I'll post its link when I find it. Here's the UW presentation link [url=http://www.uwex.edu/ces/animalscience/beef/Powerpoint_and_reports/Holsteinfeedingclinics2002.ppt]http://www.uwex.edu/ces/animalscience/b ... cs2002.ppt[/url] [/QUOTE]
