Abstract
Inclusion of CDS and distillers grains decreased DMI in both experiments (P < 0.001). However, in Exp. 1 HD increased DMI compared with LD (P < 0.001). Final cow BW was decreased in both experiments, and BCS was increased due to feeding LD and HD CDS in Exp. 1 (P â¤Â 0.05). Reproductive efficiency and milk production did not differ for either experiment. (P â¥Â 0.19). Calf ADG (P â¥Â 0.42) did not differ in Exp. 1, but during Exp. 2 ADG was decreased (P = 0.05) in LD calves from birth to d 93 postpartum. In conclusion, CDS may need to be included at higher concentrations in low-quality roughage diets, or higher-quality roughages should be included to maintain adequate DMI.
