The Comparative Feeding Value of High Moisture Corn and Low Moisture Corn with Different Feed Additives for Fattening Beef Cattle1

W. M. Beeson and T. W. Perry

Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station2

Abstract

The results of two trials indicate fattening beef cattle (two year old steers and heifer calves) utilize high-moisture ground ear corn (32% moisture) from 10 to 15% more efficiently than regular ground ear corn, when the high-moisture corn is converted back to the same moisture content as the regular ground ear corn.

No consistent growth stimulation was obtained by the addition of oxytetracycline, a wood yeast or tetra-alkylammonium stearate, to either the high-moisture corn or the regular ground ear corn rations.
