Extract

Traditionally cereals have been dried or treated with propionic acid and processed prior to feeding to finishing beef cattle. However this process is labour intensive, particularly as it involves rolling or milling the grain prior to feeding. Currently labour is an expensive and scarce resource on many beef units. Recently new techniques have been developed for storing and feeding grain to beef cattle which reduce the need to process grain immediately prior to feeding. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effects of grain storage and processing method, and grain feed level on performance of beef cattle offered two contrasting feed value grass silages.
