Three studies were conducted to determine RUP content of corn silage, and the effects of supplementing increasing concentrations of RUP on the growing performance of calves fed a corn silage diet. Experiments 1 and 2 used in situ methods to evaluate the RUP content of corn silage. In experiment 1, corn silages harvested at 37% or 42% dry matter (DM) were compared. In experiment 2, dry-rolled corn (89.4% DM) was reconstituted to 75%, 70%, 65%, and 50% DM and ensiled in mini-silos (2,265 cm3) for 30, 90, 180, or 270 d to simulate the corn grain within corn silage, dry-rolled corn is more mature than corn grain harvested in corn silage. Experiment 3 used 60 steers (275 kg initial body weight, SD = 18) in an 83-d growing study to evaluate the effects of supplementing 0.4%, 1.7%, 3.0%, 4.2%, or 5.5% RUP (% of diet DM) on performance. In experiment 1, RUP as a % of DM was not different between the two corn silages (P \u2265 0.12), averaging 0.59% for samples refluxed in a neutral detergent solution (NDS) and 1.8% for samples not refluxed in NDS. Dry matter digestibility (DMD) also did not differ (P \u2265 0.19), averaging 67.4%. In experiment 2, as moisture content of the corn grain increased, DMD increased linearly (P &amp;lt; 0.01) and RUP content decreased linearly (P &amp;lt; 0.01). The DMD increased quadratically (P = 0.02), whereas RUP content decreased linearly (P &amp;lt; 0.01) as days of ensiling increased. In experiment 3, there were no differences in DM intake (DMI; P \u2265 0.33) among treatments for period 1 (d 1 to 37). However, average daily gain (ADG) and gain-to-feed ratio (G:F) both linearly increased (P &amp;lt; 0.01) as RUP supplement inclusion increased. There were no differences in DMI (P \u2265 0.16), ADG (P \u2265 0.11), or G:F (P \u2265 0.64) in period 2 (d 38 to 83). For the overall growing period (d 1 to 83), a linear increase was observed for ending body weight (P = 0.01), ADG (P &amp;lt; 0.01), and G:F (P &amp;lt; 0.01) as RUP supplement inclusion increased from 0.4% to 5.5% of diet DM. The RUP content of corn silage is lower than previously reported. Data collected suggest the crude protein within corn silage is 13% RUP, and approximately 1\/2 is digestible. The moisture content of corn silage at the time of harvest and the amount of time corn silage is stored continually impact protein availability. Supplementing growing calves fed corn silage with RUP will improve performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/tas\/txz014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,15]],"date-time":"2019-02-15T16:31:42Z","timestamp":1550248302000},"page":"51-59","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Corn silage rumen undegradable protein content and response of growing calves to rumen undegradable protein supplement1"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Colton R","family":"Oney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jana K","family":"Gramkow","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F Henry","family":"Hilscher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Galen E","family":"Erickson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jim C","family":"MacDonald","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Terry J","family":"Klopfenstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea K","family":"Watson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020051902385653600_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1016\/j.njas.2016.05.009","article-title":"Variation between individual cows in in situ rumen degradation characteristics of maize and grass silages","volume":"78","author":"Ali","year":"2016","journal-title":"NJAS-Wageningen J.
