Season 2 | Episode 191
33m | Jul 22, 2026

In this episode of The Beef Podcast Show, Dr. Ludmila Monteiro from Kansas State University discusses how corn processing and high-amylase corn hybrids can improve starch availability and feed efficiency in feedlot cattle. She explains dry rolling, high-moisture corn, steam flaking, processing costs, and research showing where new corn genetics may help producers capture more value from every kernel. Listen now on all major platforms!


"Improving starch digestibility requires greater accessibility for microorganisms and enzymes responsible for breaking down nutrients within the corn kernel during ruminal fermentation."
