Five experiments were conducted to determine the effect of fat addition to dry-rolled corn (DRC) finishing diets on subacute acidosis. In Exp. 1, five ruminally fistulated steers (410 +/- 12 kg BW) were used in a 5 x 5 Latin square design. Treatments consisted of 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8% tallow added to a 50% fine-ground corn: 50% dry-rolled wheat basal challenge diet and dosed intraruminally as an acidosis challenge. Area below pH 6 was determined to quantify the total decrease in ruminal pH over a 24-h period. Area below pH 6 responded quadratically (P < .05); greatest time below pH 6 occurred with diets containing 2, 4, and 6% tallow. In Exp. 2, six ruminally fistulated steers (527 +/- 47 kg BW) were used in a 6 x 6 Latin square design and intraruminally dosed with 0, 4, 6, or 8% tallow or 4 or 8% yellow grease added to a 50% fine-ground corn:50% dry-rolled wheat basal challenge diet. Area below pH 6 responded quadratically for both tallow (P = .10) and yellow grease (P < .05) and was greatest for steers dosed with 4% tallow or yellow grease and decreased as tallow or yellow grease increased from 4 to 8%. Experiment 3 was a metabolism study using six ruminally fistulated steers (469 +/- 68 kg BW) in a 6 x 6 Latin square design. Cattle were fed a DRC finishing diet containing 0, 4, 6, or 8% tallow or 4 or 8% yellow grease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
