Frequency of Feeding Steers

J. G. Fuller, G. Bohstedt and B. H. Roche

University of Wisconsin

Abstract

In June 1931 the Wisconsin Agricultural College completed the third feeding trial with range bred yearling steers to observe and study frequency of feeding. Three lots of cattle were used in each trial: one lot was fed the regular twice-a-day plan, one-half the ration given in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. Lot 2 in each case was fed its entire daily ration in the morning, while Lot 3 was self-fed grain and given silage and hay twice a day. The feeds given and methods of feeding and housing were alike for all lots and trials. The daily routine and season of the year were repeated as nearly alike as possible. In two trials the feeding period was 168 days and in one 175.

The apparent success of feeders who partially follow the once-a-day feeding method and the possibility of saving time and labor prompted the undertaking of these trials.
