Two trials evaluated the effect of a composite of feed ingredients formulated to be similar in nutrient composition to wet distillers byproducts on finishing performance of sheep and cattle. Trial 1 used 60 crossbred lambs (31 kg) assigned to one of four treatments: dry-rolled corn (DRC) control, dried distillers grains plus solubles, wet corn gluten feed (WCGF), and wet distillers grains composite (COMP1). The COMP1 consisted (DM basis) of 47.5 WCGF, 11.9% condensed distillers solubles, 30.5% corn gluten meal, 9.7% tallow, and .4% dicalcium phosphate and was fed at 40% of the diet DM. Lambs fed the COMP1 diet were 27% more efficient (P < .10) than lambs fed WCGF and 12% more efficient (P > .10) than lambs fed DRC. In Trial 2, 60 yearling crossbred steers (272 kg) were assigned to one of five treatments: DRC control, WCGF, wet distillers grains composite (COMP2), COMP2 minus tallow (-FAT), or COMP2 minus corn gluten meal (-CGM). the COMP2 consisted (DM basis) of 65.7% WCGF, 26.3% corn gluten meal, and 8.0% tallow and was fed at 40% of the diet DM. Steers fed COMP2 were more efficient (P < .10) than steers fed DRC or WCGF, and the steers fed -FAT and -CGM were intermediate to these three dietary treatments. A composite diet of WCGF, condensed distillers solubles, corn gluten meal, and tallow, formulated to be similar in nutrient composition to wet distillers byproducts, may improve feed efficiency compared with WCGF or DRC.
