Abstract
Rations containing wet cattle manure were readily consumed by fattening steers and these rations supported gain essentially equal to comparable cattle fed feeds without manure. Cooking or washing manure before mixing it with concentrate for feeding did not improve its feeding value. Carcass data were similar for manure-fed and other cattle. Wet manure collected daily per yearling steer was about 13.5 kg (3.12 kg dry matter) and about 6.6 kg (1.52 kg dry matter) was consumed daily.
