I don't think it pays on beef cattle. Adds cost and time and I've never seen any research or closeouts that it improves performance on fed or backgrounded cattle. Dairy cows have a much faster rate of feed passage because of the volume of feed they eat, so they get more benefit out of kernel processing. Slower rate of passage in beef cattle diets allows for better digestion of non-processed kernals.
Kernel processor, Is it nesesery for silage fed to beef cattle?
