This book was released on 2017 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One receiving trial evaluated the effect of the feed additive monensin (trade name: Rumensin) on steer growth performance in the receiving period while evaluating the effects of two receiving vaccinations on morbidity and mortality of newly received calves. No differences were observed in growth performance, morbidity rate or mortality rate between treatments for the first 28 d of receiving. A finishing trial evaluated the effect of the feed additive ractopamine hydrochloride (trade name: Optaflexx) on feedlot growth performance and carcass characteristics of crossbred yearling steers fed to differing degrees of finish. Feeding ractopamine hydrochloride at 300 mg improved ADG, G:F, and HCW regardless of days on feed (i.e., degree of finish). A growing trial evaluated the performance effects of grazing steers on corn residue supplemented with modified distillers grains plus solubles (MDGS; 1.4 or 2.3 kg/d) with or without urea (0 or 0.05 kg/d). No differences were observed in growth performance suggesting that supplemental urea is not necessary when supplementing at least 1.4 kg MDGS to steers grazing corn residue..

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many pasture and rangeland scenarios, low-quality forages (6-8% CP) are the primary energy source for some portion of the year. At these times, energy is typically the first limiting nutrient to the ruminant. Low-quality forages are generally not limited in availability; however, the high cell wall content and reduced levels of CP prevent ruminants from being able to extract the harvested energy. Without provision of supplemental nutrients, the available energy may be inadequate to meet performance expectations. Protein supplementation during periods of inadequate forage quality has been observed to alleviate ruminal nitrogen deficiencies and increase forage utilization. Increased forage utilization translates into greater energy extraction allowing for increased animal performance. The first trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of utilizing non-protein nitrogen (a slow-release urea compared to urea) on intake and digestion of beef steers consuming low-quality bermudagrass hay. Steers were provided ad libitum access to a low-quality bermudagrass hay (7.3 % CP and were ruminally dosed once daily with either urea or slow-release urea (SRU) at levels to provide 0, 64, 128, or 192 mg of N/kg of initial BW per day. Additionally, steers were supplemented with glycerol at levels of 0 or 0.1% of initial BW per day. Total OMI and forage OMI (FOMI) increased quadratically (P

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplements are often fed to stocker cattle on forage-based diets to improve animal performance. Delivery costs can make up a substantial portion of the cost of supplementation. Reducing supplementation frequency can reduce labor and equipment costs and therefore has the potential to increase profit. However, less frequent feeding requires feeding larger quantities of supplement at once and can increase the likelihood of negative associative effects of supplementation. Additionally, little is understood about the metabolic response of ruminants to large fluxuation in nutrient intake. A 50:50 blend of soyhulls and corn gluten feed is widely used by producers to supplement growing cattle. This blend is high in energy but low in starch. It also contains a moderate amount of protein, much of which is ruminally degradable. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of reducing supplementation frequency of a soybean hull and corn gluten feed blend on performance, digestion, and concentrations of metabolites and hormonal growth regulators in blood of steers. In Experiment 1, growing steers consuming medium quality fescue hay were supplemented either daily, 3 times a week, or 2 times a week. Hay intake was decreased by reducing supplementation frequency but gains were not affected. As a result, the feed to gain ratio increased slightly with less frequent supplementation. In Experiment 2, six ruminally cannulated steers consuming medium quality fescue hay were used in a replicated 3 x 3 Latin square to determine the effect of supplement frequency (daily at 1% BW or on alternate days at 2% BW) on digestion and ruminal parameters. Reducing supplementation frequency decreased hay intake but did not affect digestibility of the diet. On the day of supplementation molar proportions both of propionate and butyrate in the rumen of steers supplemented on alternate days was increased compared to those supplemented daily. In Experiment 3, growing steers were individually.

This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Range and Animal Sciences and Resources Management is a component of Encyclopedia of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Rangelands comprise over forty percent of the earth's land surface and, as one of the most prevalent land systems on the planet, rangelands are critical habitats for myriad plant and animal species and form many of the world's major watersheds Rangelands are categorized in two distinct ways: (a) as a type of land or (b) a type of (land) use. This theme with contributions from distinguished experts in the field discusses about Range and Animal Sciences and Resources Management in several related topics. These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six ruminally and duodenally cannulated Angus cross bred cows (680 ± 47.1 kg of initial BW) were utilized in a crossover design to evaluate the effects of method of processing supplemental corn on forage intake, digestive function, metabolizable protein, and ruminal fermentation. Cows were maintained in individual pens (5 x 4 m) and offered hay and corn at 0700. Hay was offered to ensure ad libitum intake and 10% feed refusal daily. Corn grain was supplemented at 0.2% of BW (as fed basis) and placed directly into the rumen through the ruminal cannula. Bluestem hay (Bothriochloa ischaemum; 5.7% CP, 69.4% NDF, and 11.49% ash, DM basis) was offered after corn supplementation. Treatments consisted of 1) ground corn (GC) and steam-flaked corn (SF). Experiment consisted of 2 experimental periods in which 9 d were for adaptation and 4 for rumen fluid, duodenal, and fecal samples collection. Hay DM intake and total DM intake were greater (P = 0.04) for GC than for SF. Also, intake of CP (P = 0.02), NDF (P = 0.04) were greater and starch intake (P = 0.01) was lower for GC than SF. The flow of nutrients to the duodenum (P ≥ 0.11) was not affected by corn processing method with the exception of starch which was greater (P = 0.01) for GC than SF, and therefore starch ruminal digestion was greater (P = 0.01) for SF. Microbial efficiency was not affected (P = 0.11) by corn processing method. Total tract digestion of DM (P = 0.007), OM (P = 0.09) and NDF (P = 0.11) tended to be lower, while total tract digestion of starch (P = 0.02) was greater for SF than GC. Ruminal pH, total VFA production, and ammonia concentration were not affected (P ≥ 0.18) by corn processing method. However, the proportion of acetate (P = 0.01; 74.4, and 71.7 ± 0.77 mol/100 moles) was greater, propionate (P = 0.06; 14.8, and 17.2 ± 0.81 mol/100 moles), and butyrate (P = 0.05; 7.2, and 8.3 ± 0.32 mol/100 moles) were lower for GC than for SF. Supplemental SF decreased low-quality forage intake without negatively impacting microbial protein and feed protein supply to the duodenum. Keywords: grain processing, low-quality forage, metabolizable protein, steam flaked corn
