In a previous study (Campbell et aL, 1976)
Holstein steers were used to compare rations in
which coffee grounds replaced grain at rates of
0, 5, I0, or 20%. Digestibility coefficients for
dry matter, crude protein, and energy decreased
and ether extract increased progressively as concentrations
of coffee grounds in the ration were
increased. Nitrogen retention and utilization decreased
significantly when the rations contained
10 or 20% coffee grounds. Coffee grounds depressed
feed intake and weight gain. However,
Mather and Apgar (1956), who studied the use
of dried coffee grounds as a feed ingredient for
dairy cattle, reported that grounds did not affect
milk production but did reduce significantly
body weight of cows and growth rates of
calves on starter rations.
