Feeding corncobs can stretch grain in steer rations
Iowa State College animal husbandman C C Culbertson reports corncobs add bulk and roughage to steer diets, enabling better grain use amid high prices. An Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station trial found a ton of ground cobs worth about 40 dollars when ground ear corn runs about 2.40 per bushel. Yearling steers fed extra cobs achieved similar gains to those fed ground ear corn, with alfalfa hay minerals and salt. Grinding method affected intake, with a 7/16 inch mesh giving satisfactory results and finer grinding improving finish but requiring more effort.
