Ammonium Chloride and Ammonium Sulfate in Cattle Feedlot Finishing Rations

T WO levels of ammonium chloride or of ammonium sulfate were added to the rations of commercial feeder cattle. The rations were made isonitrogenous, essentially isocaloric and to contain the same level of calcium, phosphorus and salt. Total gains were essentially the same for all lots, varying only 15.6 lb (7.1 kg) over a 112 day feeding period. Feed conversion was increased only on the ration ...

Grain Finishing Beef: Alternative Rations, Cattle Performance and Feeding Costs for Small Feeders

Introduction Even though many of the cattle finished in the United States are fed in large feedlots there are still many small finishing operations that lack the equipment and facilities of commercial feedlots and there are individuals that have an interest in fattening their own beef; 4-H projects or locker beef are prime examples. When finishing cattle, the nutritional requirements do not var...

Comparison of Rations for Dairy Cows with Soybean Meal or with Rapeseed Meal in Which the Main Source of Protein Is Sunflower Meal

YILDIZ, E., 2015. Comparison of rations for dairy cows with soybean meal or with rapeseed meal in which the main source of protein is sunflower meal. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 21: 662–667 The aim of experiment is to check whether the inclusion of soybean meal in the diet will improve performance of dairy cows fed ration with sunflower meal as main protein source. This problem is important for East ...

Using Fish Meal in Dairy Rations

: ed u/c ata log Bypass protein is an important part of the diet of lactating cattle. The National Research Council recommends that bypass protein make up 34 to 36 percent of the total crude protein consumed by lactating cattle. Fish meal is high in crude protein (65 to 70 percent) and is a source of bypass protein (also called ruminally undegradable protein or RUP). It can be used in dairy rat...
