DSD 6.5 | Performance of High protein Corn coproduct

For decades, ethanol production has generated affordable biproducts to feed. A new distilling method has generated a product with ~50% protein. Dr. Billy Brown, assistant professor of dairy science at Kansas State, wanted to understand how this feed would compare to soybean meal in a starter grain. To test this he developed rations substituting soybean meal 1:1. Graduate student Rachel Skinner measured intake, growth, effiency and metabolic and digestive parameters to best understand if this product would work in post weaning phase of production.   Topics of discussion 1:19       Introduction of Dr. Billy Brooks 3:18       Nutrient composition of high pro corn coproduct 5:14       Study Design 6:33       Limiting Amino Acids 7:53       Age of calves 8:34       Starter Digestibility    10:40     Average Daily Gain (ADG) 13:30     Insulin measurements 15:36     CP concentrations for the rations 16:25     Heat Stress 17:58     Dry matter intake and feed efficiency 19:05     Pelleting feasibility/stability 20:05     Yeast bodies – Impact, source of and future research efforts 22:53     What do you want Boots on the Ground dairy producers to gain from the project?  23:32     Breakeven analysis Featured Article: Effects of a high-protein corn coproduct as a replacement for soybean meal in calf starter feed in the postweaning period #2xAg2030; #journalofdairyscience; #openaccess; #MODAIRY; #HPCC; #dairycalves; #DDGS; # Protomax; #dairysciencedigest; #ReaganBluel;  #Rachel Skinner
