Escape protein supplementation of yearling steers grazing smooth brome pastures.
Two grazing trials utilizing individually supplemented yearling steers were conducted to study the effect of supplemental escape protein on steer performance during the active growth periods, spring and fall, of smooth brome (Bromus inermis). Graded levels (0, .11, .23 and .34 kg.head-1.d-1) of an equal-protein-basis mixture of bloodmeal and corn gluten meal were offered daily, replacing corn s...
متن کاملUrea and(or) feather meal supplementation for yearling steers grazing limpograss (Hemarthria altissima var. 'Floralta') pasture.
The unique relationship between TDN and CP concentration (low CP relative to TDN) in the whole-plant of 'Floralta' limpograss (Hemarthria altissima) may provide an opportunity for improving cattle performance through protein supplementation. In each of three consecutive years, yearling Brahman x British crossbred steers (initial weight approximately 270 kg) grazed limpograss during the summer a...
متن کاملSeason-long Grazing Intensity and Parasite Load in Yearling Steers in the Northern Great Plains
Parasites in young grazing animals can compromise performance due to parasitic gastroenteritis and/or competition for nutrients. Parasite loads are influenced by cattle exposure to plant bases and time spent in pasture. Fecal-oral parasite transmission can increase through time as plant defoliation exposes the base of the plant, where parasites accumulate. Grazing management is an important com...
متن کاملImplant Strategies for Dairy Steers
The availability of growth promotant options on the market today (Table 1) targeted to cattle ranging from young calves to growing and finishing steers provides dairy steer producers the flexibility of designing an implant strategy to meet their goals for an economic return for a specific market niche. Expectations in typical beef feed yards are for a return of $10 to $30 per dollar invested in...
متن کاملComparisons 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...
