“…Larson et al (2023) found that feeding tillers grains to fatten cattle improved dry matter intake. A meta-analysis containing 81 publications found that feeding distributors' grains could significantly increase the final weight of cattles (de Nazaré Santos Torres et al, 2022). Consistent with the aforementioned research, the DGS feed had no significant effect on the average daily weight gain of ASH lambs in this experiment.…”

To improve the meat quality of Nei Mongol mutton and the benefits for farmers, we selected Australian salmon hybrid lambs as experimental subjects to investigate the effects of Allium mongolicum Regel powder (AMR) and yeast-fermented distiller’s grains (DGS) on their production performance and economic efficiency. The results showed that the DGS group had higher kidney index, the AMR group had better meat quality, and the economic efficiency ratio of DGS and AMR was 2.08. In conclusion, both feeds had no adverse effects on the production performance of lambs, and the DGS group had greater potential for promotion.

“…However Ireland, like many European countries, is a deficit animal feed country with a self-sufficiency in concentrate feeds of only 36% [ 6 ]. Imported feed ingredients, such as maize grain ( Zea mays ) and its by-products maize dried distillers (MDD) grains and maize gluten feed (MGF) [ 6 ], are used extensively in beef cattle concentrate rations [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. There is increasing interest in further exploiting indigenous energy (e.g., alternative cereals such as oats ( Avena sativa )) and ‘protein’ (e.g., grain legumes, faba beans ( Vicia faba ) and peas ( Pisum sativum )) feedstuffs in Ireland and other European countries in order to reduce the over-reliance on imports [ 6 , 10 ].…”

The study objective was to determine intake and performance of beef cattle individually offered perennial ryegrass-dominant grass silage ad libitum supplemented with 4 kg dry matter daily of, rolled barley or maize meal-based concentrate rations containing supplements of flaked field beans, flaked peas, maize dried distillers grains (MDD) or maize gluten feed (MGF) for 110 days (Experiment 1), rolled barley or rolled oats with or without supplements of flaked field beans or flaked peas for 146 days (Experiment 2), and to quantify the nitrogen balance of diets similar to those offered in Experiment 2 (Experiment 3). The protein supplements were formulated to have similar crude protein concentrations. Cereal type or protein source did not affect intake, growth, feed efficiency and carcass traits in Experiment 1 or 2. Inclusion of a legume protein supplement with barley or oats had no effect on intake or growth performance (Experiment 2), whereas their exclusion decreased nitrogen intake, plasma urea concentrations and urinary and total nitrogen excretion (Experiment 3). The feeding value of barley was similar to oats and maize meal, and flaked beans and peas were similar to MGF and MDD, as supplements to grass silage. Excluding protein ingredients from a cereal-based concentrate did not affect animal performance and reduced nitrogen excretion.
