Sanchez-Sandoval and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight Angus cross-bred cows (669 ± 23.2 kg of BW) fitted with duodenal and ruminal cannulas grazing winter wheat pasture (WWP) were used in a split-plot design to evaluate the effects of monensin supplementation and WWP stage of maturity on forage intake, digestive function, metabolizable protein, and ruminal fermentation. Supplemental treatment was the main plot, and stage of maturity was the subplot. Two levels of monensin supplementation: 1) Control (CON; 1.0 kgcow−1d−1 of wheat middling only), and 2) monensin (MON; CON plus 200 mg of monensin); and two stages of WWP maturity: 2) mid-March (MAR; March 13 to March 26; vegetative stage), and 2) early April) (APR; March 27 to April 8; heading stage) of 2017 were compared in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Cows grazed in a single wheat pasture with supplements deposited directly into their rumens through their rumen cannula at 0700 daily. Monensin supplementation did not affect forage intake (P = 0.64), nutrient flow to duodenum (P ≥ 0.47) or total tract digestion expressed as kg/d (P > 0.45). Although, OM and CP flowing to the duodenum were not affected by monensin supplementation (P ≥ 0.53), microbial OM and microbial CP decreased (P = 0.03) with monensin supplementation. As stage of maturity of WWP advanced, forage intake (P = 0.02), ruminal digestibility of DM and OM (P ≤ 0.05) and total tract digestion expressed as kg/d (P = 0.01) decreased. Also, total duodenal CP (P = 0.01), microbial protein (P = 0.01), and feed protein (bypass protein; P = 0.03) flow decreased with advancing WWP stage of maturity. Monensin supplementation increased (P = 0.01) propionate (18.38, and 20.79 ± 0.55 mol/100 mol), and decreased (P = 0.01) the acetate: propionate ratio (3.26, and 2.73 ± 0.13). Ruminal pH (6.03 and 6.31 ± 0.08), acetate (54.6 and 58.3 ± 0.98 mol/100 mol), and acetate propionate ratio (2.52, and 3.48 ± 0.13) increased (P ≤ 0.04), and propionate (21.9, and 17.3 ± 0.56 mol/100 mol) decreased (P ≤ 0.05) with advancing WWP stage of maturity. Results suggest that monensin increases propionate without affecting forage intake, digestibility or metabolizable protein of cattle grazing WWP. Key words: metabolizable protein, microbial synthesis, monensin, winter wheat pasture

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ruminant animal is unique in that it can convert large quantities of cellusose into high quality human food. This is possible due to the large population of microorganisms in the rumen. Because of this capability, ruminants will occupy an even more important role in world food prodution in the future., especially in areas where land is not suitable for crop production. However, the need for increased animal efficiency and /or performance is becoming more critical as the food supply becomes more limited, and as the demand for grain and other plant products for human comsumption increases. Monensin, a biologically active compound produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis has been shown to improve feed efficiency when added to high concentrate feedlot rations. Monensin-fed feedlot cattle tend to conume less feed but gain at a similar rate as non-monensin fed cattle. When fed to cattle grazing green forage, monensin has increased both gain and efficiency. Since forage is the principle fedd source for the beef cow, any compound which could alter efficiency and /or performance of grazing cows could affect the profitability of the beef cow enterprise. Information is not available, however, on the effectivevess of monensin when fed to range beef cows grazing low quality range grass. The purposes of this study were: 1) to evaluate the effect of monensin on milk production and milk composition for lactating range cows; 2) to evaluate the effect of monensin on forage and supplement intake and 3) to estimate the effect of monensin on rumen turnover rates and rumen components.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplementing cattle on grass is an effective way of increasing animal efficiency and grass utilization. Distiller grains plus solubles (DGS) supplementation has been repeatedly proven as an effective supplement by providing ruminally undegradable protein (RUP), fat, and highly digestible fiber. The effects of monensin supplementation on grazing cattle are variable. Although some research has shown a decrease in forage organic matter intake (FOMI), the popular belief is monensin increases ADG while maintaining DMI in a grazing situation. Two experiments were designed to observe the effects of DGS and monensin supplementation on cattle grazing smooth bromegrass. In the first study, ADG and modified distillers grains plus solubles (MDGS) intake were measured for cattle grazing smooth bromegrass. Steers were supplemented MDGS at 0.05, 0.4, 0.6, or 0.8% BW and were either given 0 or 200 mg monensin. In the second study, FOMI was estimated when cattle grazing smooth bromegrass were supplemented with MDGS at 0.4% BW was given 0 or 200 mg monensin. In the first study, monensin did not affect ADG (P = 0.53). There was a monensin x MDGS intake interaction (P = 0.05). Monensin decreased MDGS consumption only when supplement was offered at 0.8% BW (P = 0.01). In the second study, monensin tended to decrease FOMI by 9% (P = 0.10).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 29 (thesis year 1984) a total of 12,637 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 202 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 29 reports theses submitted in 1984, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
