Effects of mineral-supplement delivery system on frequency, duration, and timing of supplement use by beef cows grazing topographically rugged, native rangeland in the Kansas Flint Hills.
The effects of mineral-supplement delivery system on patterns of supplement use by grazing beef cows were measured in 2 studies. Study 1 was conducted on 4 pastures grazed by pregnant, mature beef cows (BW = 562 ± 38 kg) from February to May. Study 2 was conducted on 4 pastures grazed by lactating beef cows (BW = 579 ± 54 kg) and their calves from May to September. Treatments were mineral deliv...

متن کاملThe feed intake and liveweight responses of hinds and calves grazing leaf turnip or pasture during late lactation
In breeding hind systems, summer is often a period when feed quality and quantity may compromise lactation in the hind and growth of the calf. The growth and feed intake of calves and hinds offered the leaf turnip Pasja were compared to those on a perennial pasture. Calves consumed 1.0 kg forage DM/head/d on pasture and 0.77 kg DM/d on Pasja. The higher digestibility of Pasja meant that the met...

متن کاملHow important is feed intake?
Over the past 10 to 15 years there have been very significant changes in pig performance due to selection. The result has been an increase in maximum protein deposition, a shift in the distribution of energy towards more protein and less lipid deposition, an increase in maintenance requirements and a decrease in voluntary feed intake (Knap, 2000). Using national UK data, Walters (2000) estimate...
