Three trials were conducted to evaluate the energy value of hominy feed in finishing diets for ruminants. Hominy feed contained 56.9% starch, 25.2% NDF, 11.1% CP, and 5.3% fat (DM basis). In all trials, hominy feed replaced dry-rolled corn. As the level of hominy feed or ground corn increased in a lamb digestion trial, DM digestibility decreased (P < .01); however, starch digestibility increased (P = .09). Hominy feed and ground corn interacted (linear, P = .08) with respect to NDF digestibility. As the level of ground corn increased, NDF digestibility decreased (linear, P = .10). In a finishing trial, yearling heifers were fed either hominy feed with or without fat added to hominy feed at 0, 13.3 (.67% added fat), 26.7 (1.33% added fat), and 40.0% (2.0% added fat) of diet DM. Fat addition did not interact with hominy feed level. Heifers fed 13.3 or 26.7% hominy feed or hominy feed + fat consumed more DM (P = .10) than heifers fed the 0 or 40.0% diets; however, gain and feed efficiency were similar. In a second finishing trial, steers fed 40% (diet DM) hominy feed consumed more (P = .05) DM, but daily gain and feed efficiency were similar to those of cattle fed dry-rolled corn. Steers fed all-concentrate diets were more efficient (P < .01) than cattle fed 7.5% forage. Results indicated that expeller-extracted hominy feed contained 1.35 Mcal of NEg/kg, or 87% of the energy of corn, when included at levels up to 40% of cattle finishing diets, despite its containing 20% less starch than corn.
