BEEF CATTLE NUTRITION SYMPOSIUM: Feeding Holstein steers.
The limited supply of beef cattle is one of the greatest challenges facing the beef industry globally and is a factor reflected in the annual decline in fed cattle harvest. Calf-fed Holsteins (CFH) represent an opportunity to fill the void in beef cattle supply; however, because of the differences that exist compared with beef cattle, a science based approach is required to optimize production ...
متن کاملBeef production potential of Norwegian Red and Holstein-Friesian bulls slaughtered at two ages.
There is a paucity of data on the beef production potential of Norwegian Red (NOR) compared with 'modern' Holstein-Friesian (HF) cattle. The present study used a total of 64 bulls in a 2 × 2 factorial design study encompassing two breeds (HF and NOR) and two slaughter ages (485; E, and 610; L, days). The mean initial age and live weight of the HF bulls were 179 (s.d. 47.1) days and 203 (s.d. 64...
متن کاملFeedlot Closeouts for Holstein Steers
Feedlot closeout data is an important tool for measuring cattle performance and management practices for cattle production systems. Often, closeouts are quickly scrutinized by feedlot managers and cattle owners for economics and typical performance measurements and then filed. Unfortunately, a plethora of data that is reported in closeout reports is never adequately analyzed. A dichotomy of dat...
متن کاملStudies on Feeding Wheat Middlings to Beef Heifers and Growing and Finishing Beef Steers
INTRODUCTION The type and amount of concentrate included in beef cattle diets can greatly influence production and profitability. Small grains are typically fed in these rations, but the inclusion of by-product feeds, such as wheat middlings (WM), in growing and finishing diets have recently been studied (Dalke et al., 1997; Blasi et al., 1998). Wheat middlings are the by-product of the wheat m...
متن کاملEffect of long- or short-term feeding of alpha-tocopheryl acetate to Holstein and crossbred beef steers on performance, carcass characteristics, and beef color stability.
Three experiments were conducted to examine the effects of vitamin E supplementation on feedlot cattle. Vitamin E supplementation did not affect feedlot performance or carcass characteristics of cattle fed a high-concentrate diet (P greater than .1). The major finding was the effectiveness of vitamin E in extending the color stability of displayed beef (P less than .01). Color stability during ...
