Abstract
The results of two trials indicate fattening beef cattle (two year old steers and heifer calves) utilize high-moisture ground ear corn (32% moisture) from 10 to 15% more efficiently than regular ground ear corn, when the high-moisture corn is converted back to the same moisture content as the regular ground ear corn. No consistent growth stimulation was obtained by the addition of oxytetracycline, a wood yeast or tetra-alkylammonium stearate, to either the high-moisture corn or the regular ground ear corn rations.
