Determining Feed Intake and Feed Efficiency of Individual Cattle Fed in Groups
The beef industry in the United States is developing programs to minimize excess fat produced, increase consistency of product and to identify and reward individual owners for superior performance in the feedlot. In the U.S., Strategic Alliances between cow-calf, feedlot and packer segments of the industry are being developed to accomplish this goal. Integrated production and marketing systems ...
متن کاملForage Mixture Productivity and Botanical Composition in Pastures Grazed by Dairy Cattle
the plant diversity of natural grassland communities, some producers in the Northeast often plant complex Some producers believe that planting pastures to several forage mixtures of grasses and legumes (Tracy and Sanderson, species benefits sustainability of grazing systems. We conducted a grazing study to determine if forage species diversity in pastures affects 2000; Sanderson et al., 2001) b...
متن کاملControlling Factors of Feed Intake and Salivary Secretion in Goats Fed on Dry Forage
The purpose of this research was to determine whether or not feeding induced hypovolemia (decreases in plasma volume) and decreases in plasma bicarbonate concentration caused by loss of NaHCO3 from the blood, act to suppress feed intake and saliva secretion volumes during the initial stages of feeding in goats fed on dry forage. The animals were fed twice a day at 10:30 and at 16:00 for 2 h eac...
متن کاملIntake and performance of lactating cows grazing diverse forage mixtures.
Twenty multiparous Holstein cows in midlactation grazed pastures of 4 forage mixtures in a 12-wk study repeated during 2 grazing seasons to determine if forage mixture complexity affected intake and productivity of lactating dairy cows. The forage mixtures were 1) orchardgrass plus white clover [2 species (SP)]; 2) orchardgrass, white clover, and chicory (3SP); 3) orchardgrass, tall fescue, per...
متن کاملCan Nutrient Synchrony Affect Performance of Forage-Fed Cattle?
Synchrony is defined as to represent or arrange to indicate coexistence or parallel occurrence. Thus nutrient synchrony would imply a parallel occurrence of nutrients for the ruminant animal to consume or be present in the diet and rumen. Thus by supplying energy and nitrogen sources concurrently, an increase or optimization of microbial efficiency should occur. The increase in microbial effici...
