Crop Residues or Low Quality Hay Combined with Byproducts as a Forage Substitute

G2099
Published 2011

Quality and palatability of crop residues or low quality hay can be improved with the addition of byproducts from the ethanol or sugar industry to maintain cattle performance and replace more expensive forage resources during times of forage shortage.
Topics include mixing and storing byproducts and residues, preparing the roughage source, confined cattle performance on byproducts and residues, and ethanol byproducts and poor quality roughage as a replacement for grazed forage.
