Can
I feed high moisture shelled corn to my Tend-R-Leen
steers? |
| High moisture shelled corn can be
fed to Tend-R-Leen cattle if the guidelines for adding
roughage and rolling the corn are followed. High
moisture shelled corn can be fed to cattle under 600
pounds just as dry corn is fed, unless it is fed mor
more than 100 days. Any time high moisture corn
is fed more than 100 days, roughage must be added to
the ration to provide a scratch factor for the rumen.
For cattle over 600 pounds, course roughage should be
added free choice to the ration when feeding high
moisture corn. If the corn is above 24 percent
moisture and/or if high moisture shelled corn is fed
for more than 100 days, the corn must be rolled.
The general guidelines for feeding ensiled high
moisture corn:
