153 Phenotypic Selection of Efficient Beef Cows and Differences in Digestive Physiology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract This study evaluated beef cows identified as having high or low efficiency when managed in extensive systems and whether they differ terms of digestive physiology. Nine (HE) (LE) were selected from a group 86 Angus using 2 years selection data. Yearly ranks assessed based on three weighted criteria: cow rump fat at calving; calving interval; calf weaning weight. The 18 then ruminally cannulated used to evaluate their response (HQ; 41.0±0.78% NDF), medium-high (MHQ; 56.9±1.17% moderate (MQ; 62.5±3.40% low-quality forage (LQ; 64.3±1.40% NDF) diets four consecutive 26-d periods where diet quality progressively decreased by period for all cows. There was no phenotype′diet interactions. Start end BW 48 45 kg less (P< 0.01) thicker HE than LE (P=0.02). Although total DMI did not (13.0 kg/d; P=0.93), (%BW) greater (2.12%) (1.97%, P< 0.01). Ruminal pH, short-chain fatty acid concentration, the molar proportion acetate, butyrate, propionate differ. digesta weight 4 (P=0.04) pool sizes DM (P=0.01), NDF (P=0.03) undigested HE. passage rate (3.11 vs. 2.89%/h, P=0.05), but there differences digestion. contraction amplitude (P=0.01) peak area higher Apparent tract nutrient digestibility (P≥0.23). Cows being efficient under an management system have BW, ruminal weight, digestibility.

Periparturient changes in intake, ruminal capacity, and digestive characteristics in beef cows consuming alfalfa hay.
Four multiparous, ruminally fistulated Angus x Hereford cows (average BW = 568 kg) were bred to the same bull and used to monitor periparturient changes in DMI, ruminal capacity, and digestion and fermentation characteristics. Cows were individually fed alfalfa hay (16.0% CP, 51.3% NDF) at 130% of the average DMI of the previous 5-d period. Ruminal capacity and DM fill were measured once every ...

Gasconne Beef Breed, an Explorative Study of Trans‐Border Differences in Management and Commercialization
This study describes the management and products of the Gasconne cattle in two neighbouring countries (Spainand France), as a model study in trans-border breeds, analysing if they are significantly different depending on the place where they are located. Fifty-seven Gasconne breeders were interviewed (32 inSpainand 25 inFrance). The survey examined several aspects of the productive farming syst...
متن کاملRandom regressions to model phenotypic variation in monthly weights of Australian beef cows
Weights of beef cows recorded on a monthly basis were analysed using a random regression model. Data originated from a selection experiment in Western Australia, involving two herds of about 300 cows, Polled Herefords and a four breed synthetic, the so-called Wokalups. Weights were subject to large seasonal effects. Short mating periods and thus tight calving seasons led to substantial confound...
