Wet distiller's grains could play a role in cattle diets

Wet sorghum distiller's grains can be fed in a steam-flakedcorn ration without affecting efficiencies, said two researchers. The two four-month cattle finishing experiments with yearling heiferswere conducted by Dr. Mike Brown, a Texas Agricultural Experiment Stationruminant nutritionist and West Texas A&M University associate professor,and Dr. Andy Cole, U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural ResearchService animal scientist.

   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.

10. Low-carb diets' effects linked to rise in newly identified 'starvation hormone'
    06-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
    The benefits sometimes seen in those on a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet may depend on increased levels of a newly identified "starvation hormone" produced by the liver, according to a report in the June issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press. Two studies in the issue show that the hormone plays a critical role in the metabolic shift seen in animals after a period of fasting and in those fed an Atkins-like diet.
