Trial 1
Dry matter intakes (Table 3) tended to be higher (P
< 0.07) for steers fed DRY compared with CON, WET,
and REHY, whereas cattle fed CON, WET, and REHY
had similar intakes. Daily gains were greater (P < 0.01)
for cattle fed CON compared with those fed DRY, WET,
and REHY, which resulted in greater (P < 0.05) carcass
weights and final calculated weights for theCONcattle.
Daily gains and final weights were similar among cattle
fed DRY, WET, and REHY. Gain efficiency for cattle fed
CON was improved (P < 0.01) by 18.1% compared with
those cattle fed diets containing corn bran. No difference
was detected for G:F among corn bran types (DRY,
WET, and REHY). Fat thickness (P = 0.51), marbling
score (P = 0.12), and USDA yield grade (P = 1.00) were
not different among treatments.
