Download or read book Feed Efficiency in the Beef Industry written by Rodney A. Hill and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-06-18 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feed Efficiency in the Beef Industry provides a thorough and concise overview of feed efficiency in beef cattle. It frames the great importance of feed efficiency to the industry and details the latest findings of the many scientific disciplines that intersect and aim to improve efficient and sustainable production of nutritious beef. The vast majority of production costs are directly tied to feed. With increased demand for grains to feed a rapidly increasing world population and to supply a new demand for alternative fuels, feed costs continue to increase. In recent years, the negative environmental impacts of inefficient feeding have also been realized; as such feed efficiency is an important factor in both economic viability and environmental sustainability of cattle production. Feed Efficiency in the Beef Industry covers a broad range of topics ranging from economic evaluation of feed efficiency to the physiological and genetic bases of efficient conversion of feed to high quality beef. Chapters also look at how a fuller understanding of feed efficiency is leading to new selective breeding efforts to develop more efficient cattle. With wide-ranging coverage from leading international researchers, Feed Efficiency will be a valuable resource for producers who wish to understand the complexities, challenges, and opportunities to reduce their cost of production, for students studying the topic and for researchers and professionals working in the beef industry.

Download or read book Feeding Beef Cattle written by J.K. Matsushima and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with some basic information applicable to cattle feeding. It is intended to adapt some of the basic principles of nutrition in applied form. During the past few decades there have been various changes in type and form of feeds available for livestock feeding due to new kinds of equipment. Mechanization has made it possible to perform certain opera tions of the beef production program more efficiently and economically. With all the new innovations and advances in animal nutrition combined with the capabilities of the computer, it becomes very challenging for everyone to keep up to date on the latest information in the field of cattle feeding and production. The text was written with the intent of utilizing the raw materials, facilities, equipment, etc. which are available in the United States. The terminology of certain materials such as feed ingredients will vary from one country to another. One term which is frequently used in this text is forage. Although the term roughage is used more commonly in the United States it has been replaced with forage in this text. J.K.

Download or read book Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle written by Subcommittee on Beef Cattle Nutrition and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-05-16 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As members of the public becomes more concious of the food they consume and its content, higher standards are expected in the preparation of such food. The updated seventh edition of Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle explores the impact of cattle's biological, production, and environmental diversities, as well as variations on nutrient utilization and requirements. More enhanced than previous editions, this edition expands on the descriptions of cattle and their nutritional requirements taking management and environmental conditions into consideration. The book clearly communicates the current state of beef cattle nutrient requirements and animal variation by visually presenting related data via computer-generated models. Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle expounds on the effects of beef cattle body condition on the state of compensatory growth, takes an in-depth look at the variations in cattle type, and documents the important effects of the environment and stress on food intake. This volume also uses new data on the development of a fetus during pregnancy to prescribe nutrient requirements of gestating cattle more precisely. By focusing on factors such as product quality and environmental awareness, Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle presents standards and advisements for acceptable nutrients in a complete and conventional manner that promotes a more practical understanding and application.

Download or read book Ruminant Physiology written by Julio Mendes and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruminating animals have various physiological features that enable them to survive in nature. One feature of ruminants is their continuously growing teeth. During grazing, the silica content in forage causes abrasion of the teeth. This abrasion is compensated for by continuous tooth growth throughout the ruminant's life, as opposed to humans or other non-ruminants, whose teeth stop growing after a particular age. Most ruminants do not have upper incisors; instead, they have a thick dental pad to thoroughly chew plant-based food. Ruminants are mammals that digest plant based food by processing it in a series of chambers in their stomachs. There are about 150 species of ruminants, including both domestic and wild species. Ruminating mammals include cattle, goats, sheep, giraffes, bison, moose, elk, yaks, water buffalo, deer, camels, alpacas, llamas, and antelope. Ruminants are distinguished from other animals by having a four-compartment stomach. The four compartments are called the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum. The rumen and the reticulum are connected and work in concert and are therefore sometimes called the "reticulorumen". Ruminant Physiology: Digestion, Metabolism is a valuable tool of information for researchers, nutritionists, advisors, and advanced graduate students who want to have up-to-date and concise information on ruminant digestive system.

Excerpt: ...shows the average daily consumption of air-dry feed per head and also the amount eaten per 1,000 kilograms live weight, computed both directly in proportion to the weight and in proportion to the twothirds power of the live weight, i. e., to the surface. Table 53.--Air-dry feed eaten. Steer A Oct. 1 to Dec. 11, 1904 Mar. 31 to July 13,1905 July 13 to Sept. 28,1905 Sept. 28 to Nov. 28,1905 Apr. 6 to July 4,1906 July 4 to 28, 1906 July 28 to Oct. 27,1906 Oct. 27 to Dec. 4,1906 Average Steer B Oct. 1 to Dec. 11,1904 May 5 to July 13,1905 July 13 to Sept. 28,1905 Sept. 28 to Nov. 28,1905 Apr. 13 to July 4,1906 July 4 to 28, 1906 July 28 to Oct. 27,1906 Oct. 27 to Dec. 4,1906 Average The greater consumption of coarse feed by steer B on the limited grain ration has already been noted and is reflected in the foregoing table. While the air-dry matter consumed per head is greater in the case of steer A, the consumption is relatively greater by steer B, whether calculated in proportion to the weight or surface, with a single exception in the latter case. Accompanying this greater consumption of feed by steer B we find (omitting the doubtful period, July 4 to 28, 1906) that in four cases out of the seven, steer B produced a unit of gain in live weight on less air-dry feed than did steer A, the average of the whole time being decidedly in favor of the former animal. Judged merely from the standpoint of the increase in five weight therefore, steer B appears to have been on the whole a more economical producer than steer A up to December 4, 1906. On pasture during the following summer, however, steer A gained 50 per cent faster per head than did steer B and a little more rapidly per 1,000 kilograms live weight. Steer A reached a greater final weight...
