Description
Edinael Rodrigues de Almeida and co-authors fed supplements to 48 suckling Nellore calves on pasture in 2026 for 117 days. Calves received minerals only, or a protein concentrate in a creep feeder. The concentrate carried no dried distillers grains, about half grains, or almost all grains.
Concentrate feeding raised intake of protein and energy and lifted daily gain and weaning weight. Adding more grains lowered digestion of dry matter, protein, and fast carbohydrates in a steady pattern. Blood glucose and growth signals rose with concentrate feeding. Final performance did not differ by grain level. The authors say the by-product can replace corn and soy in calf supplements.
