ABSTRACT
Data from nine experiments conducted at the same feedlot under relatively similar conditions were used for a meta-analysis.[4] Levels of WDGS replacing dry-rolled corn (DRC), high-moisture corn (HMC), or a DRC and HMC combination ranged from 5.2% to 50%. There were quadratic increases in ADG and dry matter intake (DMI) (Table 1) with ADG and DMI being maximized at about 30% WDGS. The feed efficiency of the diet was maximized at 30% to 50% of diet, and the relationship tended to be quadratic (P < 0.09). Feeding values were calculated from the feed efficiency values and show decreasing feeding value as level of the WDGS in the diet increased.
