The Feeding Value of Heat Damaged Soybeans in Cattle Diets

Authors: Garland R. Dahlke (Iowa State University) , Mary Drewnoski (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Heat damaged grain, if not completely destroyed by fire, takes on a roasted appearance ranging from a slight brownish tint to black. This grain can be salvaged and used in cattle rations. The color can be used to determine relative digestibility and subsequent available energy in the diets of cattle.
