Corn and Cob Meal for Fattening Baby Beef Calves

H. W. Vaughan

Minnesota Experiment Station

Abstract

During the past four years four feeding trials have been conducted at the Minnesota Experiment Station in which corn and cob meal has been compared with shelled corn or with a mixture of shelled corn and whole oats for fattening baby beeves. In addition to the grain, all lots received linseed meal, corn silage, a legume hay, salt and bone meal. There were 10 steer calves per lot with four pigs following. The length of the feeding period in each trial was over 200 days.

Corn and Cob Meal Most Profitable

In the first trial a full feed of corn and cob meal gave a greater profit than a full feed of shelled corn and oats, due chiefly to lower cost of gain. Roughly, the ground cob seemed to give as good results in the ration as did the oats and the cost of the ground cob was less than the oats.
