Distillers Grains and Soybean Hulls

Researchers at the University of Florida conducted an experiment to evaluate the effects of dried distillers grains, soybean hulls, or a combination of the two ingredients in supplementing steers weighing 275kg consuming low quality hay.  Results improved weight gains and nitrogen metabolism by supplementing the low-quality forage and a combination of 0.9 kg dried distillers grains and 2.05 kg soybean hulls optimized calf performance.
