GRAIN PROCESSING FOR CATTLE FEEDERS A very important decision for cattle feeders is the choice of method for the processing or pre paration of grains common to feedlot rations. Many cattlemen are under the impression that grinding, rolling, cooking, etc., all improve the digestibility and feed ing value of grains. This is not al ways true, because the differences in size of kernel, seedcoat, fiber content, and palatability of each grain must be considered. Com is produced in greater quantity than any other grain and is also preferred by most feeders. Compared with other grains, com is superior in available energy, higher in total digestible nutrients, is a source of vitamin A, is more palatable, and requires less pro cessing. A commonly held opin ion among cattlemen is that the re duction of particle size by grind ing and rolling improves the digestibility of shelled whole com. However, in finishing ration containing at least 80 percent com, feeding trials have shown no difference as to whether the corn was cracked, finely ground, rolled, or whole. When whole com is fed a few grains of com can be easily seen in manure because of the relatively large size.

Gilligan #AU339L& #AU343OL 814-237-0189 X tie fed finely ground com reveals the same amount of undigested grain. In fact, when no roughage is fed, whole com provides superior performance over ground or rolled since whole com provides its own “roughage factor” thereby avoid ing the mmenids and liver ab scesses associated with high con centrate diets. Steam rolling or flaking does improve the utilization of own by S percent to 10 percent in most finishing diets. However, the capi tal investment, energy cost, equip ment maintenance and labor asso ciated with steam flaking dictate its use in larger operations where the equipment can be used to ca pacity. Barley has a high fiber hull and contains less available energy than com, but is an excellent feed for cattle. Both grinding and rolling improve the digestibility of bar ley, while steam flaking further improves utilization. Oats have a fibrous hull like barley, but the hull is a bit softer and cattle utilize whole oats better than whole barley. Either grinding or rolling can improve digesti bility. Although a very palatable and excellent feed for cattle, good quality oats are almost always too expensive to compete with com. Regardless of the grain in ques tion, the choice of a processing method must be based on total cost of capital, depreciation, ener * Notice?!!
