C6-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 29,1989 Putting Wheat Into Beef Rations STATE COLLEGE (Centre) Because of the increasing price of com, fanners may need to find alternative, pice-competitive sour ces of energy to put in beef cattle rations. Using wheat is one such option. In addition, prices for the new wheat crop are being reduced because of shriveled kernels and low bushel weights. The following are some specific management procedures suggested by John Comerford, Penn State Extension beef specialist, to make the most efficient use of wheat. Wheat is generally higher in protein than com, but has a slightly lower energy value. Based on a com price of $3.50 per bushel for com, wheat, as an alter native energy feed, is worth $3.62 per bushel. A conservative value for comparing com to \vheat used for energy is to first divide the price of corn per hundred weight by .97. This is the comparable price of wheat per hundred weight. Secondly, a ration for 700 pound feeder cattle, which has wheat as 50 percent of the grain, will require four percent less soy bean meal to meet pro tein requirements, if com silage or other high energy roughage makes up at least IS percent of the diet. This is a signif icant savings in light of current soybean meal prices. Wheat should pro vide no more than 50 percent of the grain in the diet because of pala tability problems at higher levels. Beef cattle have a higher incidence of lactic aci dosis when fed rations containing over 60 per cent wheat Buffers to reduce palatability and acidosis problems can be added at the rate of .4 pounds of sodium bicar bonate per head to the daily ration. Other man agement recommenda tions include; • Bring up to full feed over a period of at least three weeks, which is slower than all com rations. • Get fiber levels in the feed to at least six percent. This can be accomplished with sil age, haylage, or alfalfa hay at 10-20 percent of the diet. • Dry roll or coarse grind the wheat for best results. Whole wheat is 12-20 percent less effi cient than rolled wheat. For swine, 100 pounds of wheat can replace 98 pounds of corn and up to two pounds of soybean biT meal.
