Barley fibre and wet distillers’ solubles in the diet of growing cattle

Barley fibre and wet distillers’ solubles in the diet of growing cattle

Twenty-eight bulls were used in a 3 x 2 factorial design to study the effects of two by-products from the integrated starch-ethanol process, barley fibre and distillers’ solubles, as supplements for grass silage. The animals were divided into five blocks and slaughtered when the average live weight...
