    Abstract: Sixteen crossbred beef steer (340±3.6 kg initial weight) 
  were used in a 120 days feeding trial for to evaluate the interactions between 
  Dry Distillers Grains plus Soluble (DDGS) and forage level in growing-finishing 
  diets on productive performance of beef steers in feedlot. Two DDGS levels (0 
  vs. 15%) and two forage levels (35 vs. 65%) were evaluated in a 2x2 factorial 
  arrangement of treatments. There were interaction between forage and DDGS level 
  on final BW and Average Daily Gain (ADG) (p<0.05). In steers fed with low 
  forage diets (35%) final BW and ADG increased with the DDGS addition (6.8 and 
  9.4%, respectively). No interactions between DDGS and forage level in intake 
  Dry Matter (DMI) and Feed Efficiency (FE) were observed (p>0.05). DMI decreased 
  with DDGS inclusion in both forage levels (p<0.05). Final BW, ADG, FE were 
  improved by DDGS supplementation in cattle fed low forage diets.
