Abstract

Objective:To evaluate the digestibility parameters of growing cattle when fed Enogen Feed corn.

Study Description:Seven cannulated Holstein steers were used to determine the effects on digestibility when fed Enogen Feed corn (Syngenta) as whole-corn or processed as dry-rolled at ad libitum intake.

The Bottom Line:When Enogen Feed corn was fed in an ad libitum fashion to growing calves, dry matter and organic matter are digested to a greater extent relative to yellow corn.

Keywords: Enogen Feed corn, corn processing methods, digestibility
