Brief Project Summary:

Recent research has led us to believe that SoyPass could be used to meet a lysine amino acid deficiency in growing cattle diets. Data gathered from this research project would be used to verify this. We propose measuring the response (weight gain and feed efficiency) to SoyPass in forage based cattle growing diets with distillers grains supplementation. This is applicable to many scenarios from calves grazing grass during the summer to grazing corn residue during the winter and receiving a distillers grains supplement. We will evaluate the effects of rumen protected lysine, provided in the diet as SoyPass, on cattle growth and efficiency in order to increase efficiency when formulating...
