One growing and two finishing trials evaluated the feeding value of corn gluten feed for cattle. In the growth trial, calves were fed (DM basis) one of two control diets (44% dry-rolled corn [DRC], 50% alfalfa hay, 5% molasses, 1% supplement or 33% DRC, 33% alfalfa hay, 33% corn silage, 1% supplement), diets containing 49 or 65% wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) with alfalfa hay and supplement, or a diet containing 61% WCGF with cornstalks and supplement. Calves fed diets containing 49 or 65% WCGF with alfalfa hay gained faster (P < .10) and more efficiently (P < .10) than calves fed the two control diets. In finishing trial 1, yearling steers were fed 92.5% concentrate diets containing (DM basis) 79% DRC, a combination of DRC and 35 or 70% WCGF, a combination of DRC and 70% dry corn gluten feed (DCGF) with or without added water, or a combination of high-moisture corn (HMC) and 70% WCGF. Steers fed 35 or 70% WCGF in combination with either DRC or HMC had gains and efficiencies similar (P > .10) to those of steers fed DRC. Inclusion of water in the 70% DCGF diet reduced DMI (P < .10) and daily gain (P < .10) but did not affect (P > .10) feed efficiency. In Trial 2, WCGF replaced either 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100% of the DRC and molasses (DM basis). Feed efficiency was not different (P > .10) among diets.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
