Performance of Weaner Cattle given Molasses and Supplements under Feedlot and Grazing Conditions

A series of feeding experiments were undertaken with weaner cattle to assess the effects on liveweight performance of supplementing a basal diet of molasses, urea and roughage with various protein and energy supplements. The supplements included extruded soyabeans, a mixture of extruded soyabean and crushed maize grain, or soyabean and crushed maize extruded together. These experiments indicate...

Comparison of Resistance to Theileria sergenti Infection between Holstein and Japanese Black Cattle under Grazing Conditions

To analyze the resistance against Theileria sergenti infection in Holstein and Japanese Black cattle under field conditions, clinical, hematological and parasitological findings in these breeds of cattle that were grazed in the same pasture were examined during the grazing period. Holstein cattle showed a higher level of parasitemia than Japanese Black. With the progression of parasitemia, pack...

Influence of supplementation method on forage use and grazing behavior by beef cattle grazing bluestem range.

Two 25-d trials (late summer and early winter) were conducted to determine the influence of supplementation method on forage use and grazing behavior. Fifteen ruminally and 12 esophageally fistulated steers (316 and 400 kg, respectively) were blocked by weight and assigned randomly to one of three treatments: 1) self-feeding supplement (via Calan gates) with salt as a limiting agent; 2) daily h...

Comparisons of Cattle Grazing and Sheep Grazing

Controversy has surrounded the possible differences in pasture production which result from grazing by cattle or sheep. Experiments conducted over the 1972-76 period show that pasture production under grazing by sheep is greater than under grazing by cattle under similar intensive managements. A change from sheep grazing to cattle grazing can cause a rapid deterioration in pasture production, w...
