Digestible Protein Requirements of Calves Fed High Energy Rations ad Libitum

Energy uptake and utilization by limit- and ad libitum-fed growing horses.

Eighteen weanling horses were assigned to two treatments: limited or ad libitum feed intake. Growth and feed utilization were evaluated over a 78-wk period. Ad libitum-fed horses gained 24% more (P less than .05) weight than limit-fed horses. Total BW was distributed into 57% fore and 43% hind weight and did not differ between groups regardless of dietary treatment or age. Net gain and ADG in w...

Milk-protein substitutes in rations for veal calves.

Only small numbers of calves were fattened on whole milk alone, both in western Europe and Great Britain, until the 1960’s, d-hen suitable milk-substitute diets were developed. The lorn iron content of milk made calves anaemic (Blaxter, Sharman & MacDonald, ‘957) and lowered the myoglobin content of the muscle tissues. This resulted in white meat. In the course of time this whiteness bccame a m...

Normal Intestinal Flora of Cattle Fed High-roughage Rations.

Maki, Leroy R. (University of Wyoming, Laramie), and Kay Picard. Normal intestinal flora of cattle fed high-roughage rations. J. Bacteriol. 89:1244-1249. 1965.-Intestinal bacteria were isolated from 15 cattle. Approximately 600 isolates were studied, and their presence and numbers in the duodenum, ileum, cecum, and colon were noted. Bacteria most frequently isolated from all parts of the intest...
