Effect of Stilbestrol and Amount of Corn Silage in the Ration upon the Protein Requirement of Fattening Steer Calves1

Earle W. Klosterman, A. L. Moxon and V. R. Cahill

Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster

Abstract

The effects of stilbestrol implantation and level of corn silage in the ration upon the protein requirement of fattening steer calves were studied. Protein requirement, as measured by rate of gain and carcass grade, was not significantly influenced by stilbestrol. When fed with approximately one-third, one-half or two-thirds of a full feed of ground ear corn, well-eared corn silage was found to have a high estimated net energy value. The level of corn silage included in the ration had no apparent effect upon the amount of protein required.
