228 Effect of exogenous glucoamylase inclusion on in vitro digestion and feedlot cattle performance

Abstract: The objective was to evaluate the effect of adding an exogenous glucoamylase (GA) enzyme to a finishing diet on in vitro digestion and performance of feedlot cattle. Experiment 1 evaluated 3 levels of added enzyme (0, 0.24, and 0.72 GA enzyme units) and 2 corn particle sizes (2 and 4 mm) in a 7 h in vitro batch culture fermentation. No interactions were observed (P > 0.10). Addition of GA increased (P < 0.01) in vitro dry matter disappearance by 9%. A smaller corn particle increased (P < 0… Show more
