Abstract

Twenty-four individually fed heifers were used 1n two heifer trials to evaluate four combinations of micronized or dry-rolled milo and soybean meal or urea supplements 1n prairie hay growing rations. Feeding 4 to 5 lbs. of micronized milo produced an average of 17% faster and 16% more efficient gains than feeding 4 to 5 lbs. of dry-rolled milo.
