Diving into Diets: Feeding Rye Grain
Can we use rye grain to finish cattle? In this episode of Bovine Science Dr. Lancaster and Dr. White look into a research paper covering this topic. With this research paper titled, “Production and use of dry-rolled hybrid rye grain as a replacement for barley grain on growth performance and carcass quality of feedlot steers ” (Zhang et al.) they discuss the possibility of feeding rye versus feeding barley and it’s effects on the cattle. Thanks for listening and enjoy the show!
