Dried distiller's grains can help produce more beef

Supplemental feeding of dried distiller's grains to cattle can help produce more beef in grazing programs, a Texas AgriculturalExperiment Station researcher said. After a summer and fall feeding study done with both heifers and steers, Dr. Jim MacDonald, Experiment Station beef nutritionist, said he believes this by-product of ethanol production will be useful in more thanjust feedlot or dairy operations.

   Recent research at Kansas State University has found that cattle fed distiller's grain have an increased prevalence of E. coli 0157 in their hindgut. This particular type of E. coli is present in healthy cattle but poses a health risk to humans, who can acquire it through undercooked meat, raw dairy products and produce contaminated with cattle manure.
