Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of forage sources differing in concentrations of uNDF using haylage (high uNDF) and corn silage (low uNDF) and grain processing, distinguished by a more processed (high moisture corn) or less processed (rolled corn) grain in feedlot finishing diets on animal performance, feed efficiency, feeding behaviour, carcass quality, gut health indicators, and ruminal pH parameters in feedlot steers.
