- Product Background
The case for coproducts in beef rations:
They’re good, close and abundant. The table below, from the Iowa Beef Center and Iowa State University, shows the range in nutrient values for selected coproducts. In general, many of the nutrients from corn are concentrated into nutritious, highly palatable livestock feed ingredients. For beef cattle in the Midwest, wet corn gluten feed and wet distillers grain have particularly high values and can serve as an excellent source of protein, energy and several minerals. In fact, research shows the energy values of wet coproducts to be even greater than corn. As much as 20% higher. The protein level of coproducts is also quite high, up to 20–30% on a dry basis. And it’s high-quality protein
knowledge you need to make coproduct feeding work in your beef rations. Quality Liquid Feeds is an industry leader in helping beef producers determine the best way possible to use coproducts from ethanol and corn processing plants. And we’re working with coproduct suppliers and Midwestern universities to help develop a proven approach to coproduct ration balancing. In general, coproducts are high in undegradable intake protein (UIP) and need to be supplemented with specific levels of degradable intake protein (DIP) to promote efficient digestion. We also know that coproducts are low in calcium – an important element in any beef ration. In addition, when coproducts are dried, their energy value is decreased. For these reasons, and more, it pays to work with QLF – the experts in coproduct feeding.
CORE MAX supplements bring out the full potential of coproducts. Our new liquid feed supplements offer varying levels of protein and other nutrients. Use them to balance grow-finish rations using dried or wet distiller grains, with or without solubles. A laboratory analysis of your local coproduct source lays the groundwork for determining which product is right for you. Your local Land O’ Lakes/Farmland Feed Cooperative or Quality Liquid Feeds representative can provide additional management, nutritional and mixing recommendations. The CORE MAX program offers four unique supplements; all providing appropriate levels of calcium, trace minerals and vitamins to balance coproduct grow-finish diets. Your supplement choice will be based on the final protein percentage desired in your rations.
For coproduct ration expertise and superior liquid supplements, count on QLF. Producers have trusted Quality Liquid Feeds for 25 years. And our professional, expert approach is recognized throughout the industry. CORE MAX liquid supplements for coproduct rations are just the beginning. As we learn more about coproduct feeding, we’ll be developing new products and new techniques to help you use these valuable ingredients to their fullest potential.
What we know about coproducts
• Coproduct ration balancing can be tricky business
• Coproduct rations need degradable intake protein (DIP) supplementation
