Prediction of nitrogen excretion in feces and urine of beef cattle offered diets containing grass silage.
Data from 286 beef cattle, obtained in total diet digestibility assessments, were used to examine effects of dietary and animal factors on N excretion in feces and urine and to develop prediction equations for N excretion in beef cattle. The animals used were mainly from beef breeds, at various ages (from growth to finishing) and live BW (153 to 580 kg), and offered diets containing grass silag...
متن کاملGrazed grass herbage intake and performance of beef heifers with predetermined phenotypic residual feed intake classification.
Data were collected on 85 Simmental and Simmental × Holstein-Friesian heifers. During the indoor winter period, they were offered grass silage ad libitum and 2 kg of concentrate daily, and individual dry matter intake (DMI) and growth was recorded over 84 days. Individual grass herbage DMI was determined at pasture over a 6-day period, using the n-alkane technique. Body condition score, skeleta...
متن کاملOptimizing nitrogen utilization in growing steers fed forage diets supplemented with dried citrus pulp.
Our objectives were to compare the effects of sources of supplemental N on ruminal fermentation of dried citrus pulp (DCP) and performance of growing steers fed DCP and bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) hay. In Exp. 1, fermentation of DCP alone was compared with that of isonitrogenous mixtures of DCP and solvent soybean meal (SBM), expeller soybean meal (SoyPLUS; SP), or urea (UR). Ground (1 mm) su...
متن کاملPrediction of methane energy output in dairy and beef cattle offered grass silage-based diets
Since 1992 a number of lactating dairy cows (n 5 247) and beef steers (n 5 75) were offered grass silage-based diets in a range of feeding experiments and subjected to gaseous exchange measurements in calorimetric chambers at the Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Ireland. The objective of the present study was therefore to use the energy metabolism data from these studies to evaluate ...
متن کاملShort-term effects of silage volatile compounds on feed intake and digestion in beef cattle.
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate whether fermentation end products in silage affect intake and digestion in beef cattle. Six rumen-cannulated Nellore steers were randomly assigned to a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square design with 14-d periods. Each period consisted of 9 d for adaptation and 5 d for sample collection. Steers were housed in a tie-stall barn and individually fed once daily ...
