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.

Download or read book Nitrogen and Energy Nutrition of Ruminants written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive volume examines the interrelationships of nitrogen and energy nutrition of ruminants. It provides exhaustive coverage of basic concepts, applications, and new research developments.Rumen microbial activity is emphasized. The author, an expert in animal nutrition, discusses new systems of determining dietary energy requirements, the effect of processing feedstuffs, and stress factors. He reviews the availability of nutrients in grains, distillers' grain residues, oilseed meals, molasses, silages, pastures, crop residues, and aquatic plants. Growth stimulants, nutritional management of ruminants in feedlots and pastures, and the value of feed additives are also among the topics considered.The scope of coverage provided by this volume will make it the leading reference for teachers, researchers, consultants, livestock producers, feed manufacturers, and all others who are involved in ruminant feeding and nutrition.From the Preface: This volume covers research on various nitrogen and energy feedstuffs and defines terminology commonly utilized in nitrogen and energy nutrition. The utilization of nitrogen and energy in oilseed meals, fish meals, cereal grains, distillers' residues, molasses, silages, grasses, hays, crop residues, animal waste, and nonprotein nitrogen sources is discussed. Details are given on development and utilization of net energy systems, systems for balancing total nitrogen, and nonprotein nitrogen with total digestible nutrients (TDN) or energy components of ruminant diets. Discussions are presented on metabolism, feedlot, milking, and grazing trials. Growth stimulants, processing of feedstuffs, type of animal, and environmental and management factors that affect feed intake, growth, feed efficiency, and quality of product are reviewed.Emphasis is given to the contributions of ruminal microbes in upgrading forage and nonprotein nitrogen sources to higher-quality bacterial protein, as well as their ability to downgrade high-quality protein and waste nitrogen when protein is fed in excess of microbial needs. Research is presented on means to increase bypassing of the rumen to prevent nitrogen wastage when ruminants are fed concentrate diets. Contributions of ruminal microbes in utilizing cellulosic materials as lignocellulose and hemicellulose as well as starch and other carbohydrates are discussed.

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).
