Flaking corn: processing mechanics, quality standards, and impacts on energy availability and performance of feedlot cattle

Abstract: Based on performance of feedlot cattle, steam flaking increases the value of corn by 18%, considerably more than is suggested by tabular values. Tabular values underestimate the energy availability of flaked corn by failing to account for digestibility of the nonstarch OM that is increased by flaking by the same magnitude (10%) as starch. Correcting for improvement in digestibility of nonstarch OM increases the NEg value of steam-flaked corn to 1.70 Mcal/kg, a value very close to values calculated from cattle … Show more

“…Zebu cattle are known to present reduced digestibility of high grain diets when compared with Bos taurus breeds (Moore et al, 1975;Putrino et al, 2007). Direct determination of FSC could explain 68 % of the variation in ruminal starch digestion, and 91 % of the variability in total tract starch digestion (Zinn et al, 2002). Thus, the higher FSC indicates that animals final BW by 0.96 (NRC, 1996), and hot carcass weights (HCW) were recorded so that dressing percentage could be determined by the equation: dressing percentage (%) = (HCW / empty BW) 100.…”

“…Quando os grãos são a maior fonte de amido das dietas, a concentração desse nutriente, nas fezes em novilhos confinados, pode ser utilizada como indicador da digestibilidade do amido no trato digestivo total. A estimativa da digestibilidade do amido, pelo seu teor nas fezes, tem sido utilizada para avaliar grãos processados em confinamento de bovinos, uma vez que a perda de amido nas fezes é significativa nesses ruminantes (Zinn et al, 2002). Embora sejam conhecidas as diferenças no comportamento alimentar entre bovinos e ovinos, poucos trabalhos avaliam a eficiência de utilização ou as perdas de nutrientes nas fezes dos pequenos ruminantes.…”

“…Esta diferença entre os tratamentos M e P50 sugere que o valor energético da PC foi subestimado pelo NRC (1996) e NRC (2001) Através do método de substituição apresentado por Zinn et al (2002) foi calculada a energia metabolizável (EM) da PC. As limitações deste método, são que os valores estimados, dependem da acurácia dos valores de EM dos demais alimentos da ração e interações associativas dos ingredientes podem influenciar os resultados encontrados.…”
