Two trials evaluated the effects of different corn hybrids on in vitro rate of starch disappearance and finishing cattle performance. Hybrids were selected, based on in vitro rate of starch disappearance (A = fastest, B = intermediate, C = slowest). In Trial 1, hybrids A and B were fed as dry-rolled and early-harvested, high-moisture (28%) corn and hybrid C was fed as dry-rolled corn. Cattle fed dry-rolled hybrid A gained faster (P < .10) and more efficiently (P < .10) than cattle fed dry-rolled hybrids B and C. No differences were observed in DMI, quality grade, or fat thickness among hybrids fed dry-rolled. Dry matter intake was lower (P < .10) and feed efficiency was improved (P < .10) for cattle fed corn hybrids A and B as high-moisture corn compared with those same hybrids fed dry-rolled. In Trial 2, hybrids A, B, and C were fed as dry-rolled and early-harvested, high-moisture (29, 28, and 29% moisture, respectively) corn. Performance and carcass measurements were not affected by hybrid fed. Cattle fed high-moisture corn gained faster (P < .10), consumed less DM (P < .01), and were more efficient (P < .01) than cattle fed the same hybrids dry-rolled. Across trials, hybrids, and processing methods, in vitro rate of starch disappearance was correlated with feed efficiency (r2 = .58, P < .001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D009753	Nutritive Value	An indication of the contribution of a food to the nutrient content of the diet. This value depends on the quantity of a food which is digested and absorbed and the amounts of the essential nutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals, vitamins) which it contains. This value can be affected by soil and growing conditions, handling and storage, and processing.
