Crude Protein and Wet Corn Gluten Feed Levels for Steam Flaked Corn Finishing Diets

Data from three trials suggest steam-flaked corn finishing diets for yearling steers containing corn bran benefit from inclusion of steep liquor at 10% of diet DM, and indicate steam-flaked corn finishing diets for steer calves containing 20% to 30% wet corn gluten feed resulted in optimal performance. With 20% to 30% wet corn gluten feed, calves responded to CP above 13.4% and the requirement for CP is as high as 15.0
