The interaction between corn processing method and condensed distillers solubles (CDS) was evaluated using either steam-flaked corn (SFC) or dry rolled corn (DRC). As CDS replaced corn at either 15 or 30% of the diet DM, DMI intake decreased quadratically for both SFC and DRC. Within DRC- based diets, ADG increased quadratically with 15% CDS being greatest and F:G improved quadratically with 30% inclusion being best. When SFC was used as the grain source, ADG increased linearly and F:G improved quadratically with increasing levels of CDS. A greater performance response was observed with SFC compared to DRC when feeding increased levels of CDS

Erickson1SummaryThe interaction between corn pro-cessing method and condensed distillers solubles (CDS) was evaluated using either steam-flaked corn (SFC) or dry rolled corn (DRC). As CDS replaced corn at either 15 or 30% of the diet DM, DMI intake decreased quadratically for both SFC and DRC. Within DRC- based diets, ADG increased quadratically with 15% CDS being greatest and F:G improved quadratically with 30% inclu-sion being best. When SFC was used as the grain source, ADG increased linearly and F:G improved quadratically with increasing levels of CDS. A greater per-formance response was observed with SFC compared to DRC when feeding increased levels of CDS.IntroductionCondensed distillers solubles (CDS) is a byproduct from the dry milling ethanol process. Feeding increased levels of CDS in finish-ing rations improved performance in diets containing a blend of dry rolled (DRC) and high-moisture corn (2012 Nebraska Beef Cattle Report, pp. 64-65). Wet distillers grains with solubles (WDGS) interacts with corn processing methods (2007 Nebraska Beef Cattle Report, pp. 33-35). This interaction revealed a greater response to higher levels of WDGS in DRC diets compared to SFC based diets. It is unknown how CDS interacts with different corn processing methods . Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine if an interaction exists between corn processing method (DRC or SFC) and level of CDS in finishing diets.Materials and MethodsFour hundred sixty-two crossbred steers (initial BW = 869 ± 35 lb) were utilized in a finishing trial at the Panhandle Research Feedlot located near Scottsbluff, Neb. Five days prior to the start of the experiment, cattle were limit fed a diet consisting of 25% corn silage, 25% beet pulp, and 50% alfalfa hay (DM basis). Two day initial weights were recorded on days 0 and 1, and the average was used as initial BW. Cattle were blocked (n = 3) based on initial BW and assigned randomly to one of 42 feedlot pens (11 steers/pen). Pens were assigned randomly to treatments which allowed for seven replications per treatment.A randomized block design was utilized with a 2 x 3 factorial arrange-ment of treatments. The first factor was corn processing method (DRC or SFC), and the second factor was level of CDS (0, 15, 30%; DM basis) which replaced a portion of corn, soybean meal, and urea (Table 1). Cattle were adapted to the finishing diets over a 20-day period with corn replacing alfalfa hay, while inclusion of CDS remained the same in all diets. The CDS used in this trial (Colorado Agri Products, Bridgeport, Neb.) contained 24.3% DM, 16.0% CP, 20.3% EE, and 0.39% S. Diets included soybean meal and urea in order to meet or exceed MP requirements. All diets contained 4.0% supplement which was formu-lated to provide 360 mg of Rumensin® and 90 mg of Tylan® per steer daily (Elanco Animal Health). Steers in the light block were implanted on day 1 with Compo-nent TE-IS. Steers in the mid and heavy block were implanted with Com ponent TE-S (Elanco Animal Health). The lightweight block was re-implanted on day 70 with Com-ponent TE-S. The middle and heavy BW blocks were harvested on day 119 and the light BW block on 132 (Cargill Meat Solutions, Fort Morgan, Colo.). Hot carcass weight and liver scores were recorded on the day of slaughter. Fat thickness, LM area, and USDA marbling score were recorded after a 48-hour chill. Final BW, ADG, and F:G were calculated using HCW adjusted to a common 63% dressing percentage. Performance and carcass char-acteristics were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS (SAS Inst., Inc., Cary, N.C.). Corn processing method, CDS inclusion level, and corn processing method x CDS inclusion level were included in the model. Pen was the experimental unit and BW block was included as a random effect .

In the case of a signifi-cant (P < 0.05) interaction, linear and quadratic effects were tested within corn processing method. ResultsDry matter intake for both SFC and DRC fed cattle decreased qua-dratically (P < 0.04) as CDS level increased (Table 2). Corn processing method did not have an effect  (P = 0.30) on DMI although numeric differences were observed. There were corn processing method x CDS level interactions (P < 0.05) for carcass adjusted final BW, ADG, and F:G. Quadratic increases (P < 0.01) in final BW and ADG were observed for DRC based diets, where final BW and ADG increased at 15% CDS level and decreased at the 30% level. There was a quadratic improvement (P < 0.03) in F:G as CDS level increased in DRC- based diets. A 14.6% improvement in F:G was observed when increasing CDS inclusion from 0 to 15% in DRC-based diets, but a smaller increase was observed (4.3%) when increasing CDS inclusion from 15 to 30%. These results are similar to previous data when feeding increased levels of CDS in DRC and high-moisture corn based diets at a 1:1 ratio (2012 Nebraska Beef Cattle Report, pp. 64-65). However for SFC- based diets, final BW and ADG increased linearly (P = 0.01) as CDS level increased. Similar to DRC-based diets a quadratic improve-ment (P = 0.07) in F:G was observed for SFC fed steers. When CDS was included at 15% in SFC diets, there was a 5% improvement in F:G. When comparing the 15% to 30% CDS in SFC diets there was an additional 12% improvement in F:G. When compar-ing corn processing methods with no CDS, an 11.2% improvement in F:G was observed for SFC compared with DRC. There was no effect on LM area from corn processing method  (P = 0.34) or CDS level (P = 0.53). There tended to be an interaction  (P = 0.07) for 12th rib fat thickness. Steam flaked corn diets had greater (P = 0.02) 12th rib fat thickness com-pared to DRC diets. Fat thickness increased linearly (P = 0.02) for SFC diets, but for DRC based diets it was not different (P = 0.88) across inclu-sions of CDS. Diets with SFC tended (P = 0.09) to have greater yield grades than DRC based diets. There was a linear increase (P = 0.01) for yield grade in SFC diets; however, there was no difference across inclusions of CDS in DRC- based diets. There were no effects (P > 0.65) from corn process-ing method or CDS level on marbling score. No effects were observed for liver abscess incidence due to corn processing method (P = 0.29) or CDS level (P = 0.26). Results from this study suggest corn processing method interacts with level of CDS. This response is some-what different compared with WDGS, increasing level of CDS did not reduce ADG and F:G in SFC based diets. The response reported with SFC suggests that more than 30% CDS may be fed and warrants investigation.1Alex H. Titlow, graduate student; Adam L. Shreck, research technician; Galen E.

Summary
The interaction between corn pro-
cessing method and condensed distillers 
solubles (CDS) was evaluated using 
either steam-flaked corn (SFC) or dry 
rolled corn (DRC). As CDS replaced 
corn at either 15 or 30% of the diet DM, 
DMI intake decreased quadratically for 
both SFC and DRC. Within DRC- based 
diets, ADG increased quadratically 
with 15% CDS being greatest and F:G 
improved quadratically with 30% inclu-
sion being best. When SFC was used as 
the grain source, ADG increased linearly 
and F:G improved quadratically with 
increasing levels of CDS. A greater per-
formance response was observed with 
SFC compared to DRC when feeding 
increased levels of CDS.
Introduction
Condensed distillers solubles 
(CDS) is a byproduct from the dry 
milling ethanol process. Feeding 
increased levels of CDS in finish-
ing rations improved performance 
in diets containing a blend of dry 
rolled (DRC) and high-moisture corn 
(2012 Nebraska Beef Cattle Report, 
pp. 64-65). Wet distillers grains with 
solubles (WDGS) interacts with corn 
processing methods (2007 Nebraska 
Beef Cattle Report, pp. 33-35). This 
interaction revealed a greater response 
to higher levels of WDGS in DRC 
diets compared to SFC based diets. It 
is unknown how CDS interacts with 
different corn processing methods . 
Therefore, the objective of this study 
was to determine if an interaction 
exists between corn processing 
method (DRC or SFC) and level of 
CDS in finishing diets.
Materials and Methods
Four hundred sixty-two crossbred 
steers (initial BW = 869 ± 35 lb) were 
utilized in a finishing trial at the 
Panhandle Research Feedlot located 
near Scottsbluff, Neb. Five days prior 
to the start of the experiment, cattle 
were limit fed a diet consisting of 25% 
corn silage, 25% beet pulp, and 50% 
alfalfa hay (DM basis). Two day initial 
weights were recorded on days 0 and 
1, and the average was used as initial 
BW. Cattle were blocked (n = 3) based 
on initial BW and assigned randomly 
to one of 42 feedlot pens (11 steers/
pen). Pens were assigned randomly to 
treatments which allowed for seven 
replications per treatment.
A randomized block design was 
utilized with a 2 x 3 factorial arrange-
ment of treatments. The first factor 
was corn processing method (DRC or 
SFC), and the second factor was level 
of CDS (0, 15, 30%; DM basis) which 
replaced a portion of corn, soybean 
meal, and urea (Table 1). Cattle were 
adapted to the finishing diets over a 
20-day period with corn replacing 
alfalfa hay, while inclusion of CDS 
remained the same in all diets. The 
CDS used in this trial (Colorado Agri 
Products, Bridgeport, Neb.) contained 
24.3% DM, 16.0% CP, 20.3% EE, and 
0.39% S. Diets included soybean meal 
and urea in order to meet or exceed 
MP requirements. All diets contained 
4.0% supplement which was formu-
lated to provide 360 mg of Rumensin® 
and 90 mg of Tylan® per steer daily 
(Elanco Animal Health). 
Steers in the light block were 
implanted on day 1 with Compo-
nent TE-IS. Steers in the mid and 
heavy block were implanted with 
Com ponent TE-S (Elanco Animal 
Health). The lightweight block was 
re-implanted on day 70 with Com-
ponent TE-S. The middle and heavy 
BW blocks were harvested on day 
119 and the light BW block on 132 
(Cargill Meat Solutions, Fort Morgan, 
Colo.). Hot carcass weight and liver 
scores were recorded on the day of 
slaughter. Fat thickness, LM area, and 
USDA marbling score were recorded 
after a 48-hour chill. Final BW, ADG, 
and F:G were calculated using HCW 
adjusted to a common 63% dressing 
percentage. 
Performance and carcass char-
acteristics were analyzed using the 
MIXED procedure of SAS (SAS Inst., 
Inc., Cary, N.C.). Corn processing 
method, CDS inclusion level, and corn 
processing method x CDS inclusion 
level were included in the model. Pen 
was the experimental unit and BW

CDS inclusion level across both corn 
processing types when no interaction 
was observed. In the case of a signifi-
cant (P < 0.05) interaction, linear and 
quadratic effects were tested within 
corn processing method. 
Results
Dry matter intake for both SFC 
and DRC fed cattle decreased qua-
dratically (P < 0.04) as CDS level 
increased (Table 2). Corn processing 
method did not have an effect  
(P = 0.30) on DMI although numeric 
differences were observed. There were 
corn processing method x CDS level 
interactions (P < 0.05) for carcass 
adjusted final BW, ADG, and F:G. 
Quadratic increases (P < 0.01) in 
final BW and ADG were observed for 
DRC based diets, where final BW and 
ADG increased at 15% CDS level and 
decreased at the 30% level. There was 
a quadratic improvement (P < 0.03) 
in F:G as CDS level increased in DRC- 
based diets. A 14.6% improvement 
in F:G was observed when increasing 
CDS inclusion from 0 to 15% in DRC-
based diets, but a smaller increase 
was observed (4.3%) when increasing 
CDS inclusion from 15 to 30%. These 
results are similar to previous data 
when feeding increased levels of CDS 
in DRC and high-moisture corn based 
diets at a 1:1 ratio (2012 Nebraska Beef 
Cattle Report, pp. 64-65). However 
for SFC- based diets, final BW and 
ADG increased linearly (P = 0.01) 
as CDS level increased. Similar to 
DRC-based diets a quadratic improve-
ment (P = 0.07) in F:G was observed 
for SFC fed steers. When CDS was 
included at 15% in SFC diets, there 
was a 5% improvement in F:G. When 
comparing the 15% to 30% CDS in 
SFC diets there was an additional 12% 
improvement in F:G. When compar-
ing corn processing methods with no 
CDS, an 11.2% improvement in F:G 
was observed for SFC compared with 
DRC. 
There was no effect on LM area 
from corn processing method  
(P = 0.34) or CDS level (P = 0.53). 
There tended to be an interaction  
(P = 0.07) for 12th rib fat thickness. 
Steam flaked corn diets had greater 
(P = 0.02) 12th rib fat thickness com-
pared to DRC diets. Fat thickness 
increased linearly (P = 0.02) for SFC 
diets, but for DRC based diets it was 
not different (P = 0.88) across inclu-
sions of CDS. Diets with SFC tended 
(P = 0.09) to have greater yield grades 
than DRC based diets. There was a 
linear increase (P = 0.01) for yield 
grade in SFC diets; however, there was 
no difference across inclusions of CDS 
in DRC- based diets. There were no 
effects (P > 0.65) from corn process-
ing method or CDS level on marbling 
score. No effects were observed for 
liver abscess incidence due to corn 
processing method (P = 0.29) or CDS 
level (P = 0.26). 
Results from this study suggest 
corn processing method interacts with 
level of CDS. This response is some-
what different compared with WDGS, 
increasing level of CDS did not reduce 
ADG and F:G in SFC based diets. The 
response reported with SFC suggests 
that more than 30% CDS may be fed 
and warrants investigation.
