[QUOTE="dcara, post: 35337, member: 473"] I finally found that paper comparing different corn rations. Its hard copy only though since I had OSU staff mail it to me because they didn't have an electronic version. Anyway I was flat wrong thinking Steam flaked was better. In short, whole shelled corn produced better daily gains, and has higher F/G efficency than high moisture or steam flaked rations. The reason is that the digestive site is shifted to intestinal (i.e.post ruminal) yielding a reduction in the loss of heat and methane from fermentation in the rumen and an increase in ration energy transfer of up to 30%. One downside is the reduction of energy for microbial growth in the rumen and lower microbial protien supply to the intestine. There is also an increase in fecal energy loss which is easily observed. Thats the jest of it anyway. The paper was publised in 1980 and is titled "Corn Processing Method and Phase Feeding of Steers" Inc ase I forgot to sign-in Doug [/QUOTE]
