Feed Processing Procedures
Post-harvest processing of feed grains for feedlot cattle is widely recognized as a means of transforming more grain nutrients into efficient weight gain when viewed either in biological, monetary or cultural energy. Over 20 different types of grain processing techniques have been reported in the literature. The following techniques represent those most widely used in feedlots in Canada. Each processing technique has unique responses and potential applications. Some are better suited for larger rather than smaller feedlots, and others are better adapted to commercial feeders rather then farmer feeders. Contact a qualified consulting nutritionist or researcher to assist you with decisions related to your circumstances.
