“…Contrary to what was observed in the present trial, Vander Pol et al (2009) reported that HCW were 7% lighter for cattle fed 5% corn oil, which could be a result of lower intake leading to lower gains. Burhoop (2017) reported a heavier HCW, as well as greater backfat, for corn oil cattle compared to control ( P < 0.05), but no differences relative to MDGS treatment without corn oil added. This implies that the HCW difference reported between corn oil and MDGS treatment is largely due to MDGS rather than corn oil, although corn oil cattle were more efficient, which is similar to results observed in the present study.…”

“…Feed efficiency was improved ( P = 0.02) by 7% for corn oil cattle over control cattle, which is expected as ADG was not different, but DMI was lower for corn oil cattle. Similarly, Burhoop (2017) reported an 11% improvement in G:F when supplementing corn oil at 2% of diet DM relative to control, but it could be a result of corn oil being fed in combination with MDGS. When compared to MDGS treatment without corn oil added, corn oil treatment had a 5% greater feed efficiency ( P < 0.05).…”

“… Gillis et al (2004) reported no decrease ( P = 0.23) in DMI when feeding 4% corn oil to heifers on a finishing diet. Burhoop (2017) tested adding 2% corn oil back to a diet with 30% deoiled MDGS and compared it to a control diet and a deoiled MDGS diet. This author observed that corn oil treatment resulted in heavier ( P < 0.05) final BW compared to control and equal to deoiled MDGS treatment; however, DMI was reduced for 2% corn oil treatment compared to deoiled MDGS treatment ( P < 0.05).…”

Growing crossbred steers [n = 80, initial body weight (BW) = 274 kg, SD = 21] were used to evaluate the effect of ad libitum and limit-fed intakes on methane production. Two treatments with 4 pens per treatment (10 steers/pen) were evaluated in a randomized block designed experiment, with BW as a blocking factor. Treatments included feeding the same diet at ad libitum intake or limit-fed at 75% of ad libitum intakes. Diet consisted of 45% alfalfa, 30% sorghum silage, 22% modified distillers grains plus solubles, and supplement at 3% on a dry matter (DM) basis. This trial was followed by a finishing trial (n=80; initial BW = 369 kg; SD = 25) to evaluate effects of dietary corn oil on methane production. Two treatments with four pens per treatment (10 steers/pen) were used in a randomized complete block designed experiment. Cattle were re-randomized and blocked by BW within previous treatment. Treatments consisted of a control diet (CON) containing 66% corn, 15% wet distillers grains plus solubles, 15% corn silage, and 4% supplement (DM basis). Corn oil treatment (OIL) displaced 3% corn by adding corn oil. Methane was collected in two pen-scale chambers by collecting air samples continuously from pens by rotating every 6 min with an ambient sample taken between pen measurements. Steers fed ad libitum had greater dry matter intake (DMI) by design and greater average daily gain (ADG; P < 0.01) compared to limit-fed cattle; however, feed efficiency was not different between treatments (P = 0.40). Cattle fed ad libitum produced 156 g/d of methane, which was greater (P < 0.01) than limit-fed cattle (126 g/steer daily). In the finishing trial, body weight, gains, and carcass traits were not impacted by treatment (P ≥ 0.14). Feed efficiency (P = 0.02) improved because intakes decreased (P = 0.02) by feeding OIL compared to CON. Daily methane production was less (P = 0.03) for OIL fed cattle (115 g/steer daily) compared to CON fed cattle (132 g/ steer daily). Methane was reduced (P < 0.01) by 17% for OIL fed cattle compared to CON when expressed as g methane/kg of ADG. Feeding corn oil at 3% of diet DM reduced enteric methane production (g/d) by 15%, which was only partially explained by a 3% decrease in DMI. Overall, a decrease in methane was observed when intake is limited in growing cattle, and when corn oil is added in finishing diets.

A synthesis of data including over 9,300 head of cattle and over 980 pen means was conducted to evaluate the effect of corn processing method, distillers grains type, oil removal from distillers, and dietary distillers concentration on cattle performance and total feeding costs under different historical price scenarios. The corn processing method was either steam-flaked corn, high-moisture or dry-rolled corn or a blend of the latter two and their effects on performance with and without distillers grains. Wet, modified, and dry distillers were analyzed as either full fat or de-oiled products in diets at various dietary concentrations with either corn type to determine cattle performance. Performance estimates were used to determine the inclusion level that minimized total finishing costs ($/head) for each diet given various assumptions on corn price, corn-to-distillers price ratio, supplemental protein cost, and steam flake processing cost. Feeding distillers grains in steam-flaked or high-moisture and dry-rolled corn diets resulted in improved feed conversion and reduced cattle feeding costs, including lower supplemental protein costs and lower total feeding costs compared with a diet without distillers. However, feeding diets with steam-flaked corn improved feed conversion regardless of distillers type or level of inclusion. Feeding full fat distillers improved feed conversion relative to de-oiled distillers. Cattle fed de-oiled distillers were more efficient than those fed diets containing no distillers grains. At all corn price and corn-to-distillers price ratios examined, feeding some level of distillers of any type produced a lower total feeding costs relative to a diet without distillers. Different robustness tests were conducted to determine the impact of varying steam flake corn processing costs and the cost of supplemental protein on the optimal level of distillers inclusion level. The break-even cost a producer could pay for steam-flaking corn varied but was significantly higher when corn price was high. Feeding distillers grains in steam-flaked or high-moisture and dry-rolled corn diets resulted in improved feed efficiency, reduced cattle feeding costs, including replacement of other supplemental protein and associated costs compared to a diet without distillers grains.
