Digestibility and effects of whole cottonseed fed to lactating cows.
Four lactating Holstein cows producing about 21 kg milk/day were fed complete rations containing 0, 5, 15, and 25% whole cottonseed in a 4 X 4 Latin square design. Diets were fed ad libitum. Periods were 21 days in length with total collections of feces and urine during the last 7 days of each period. Digestibilities o nitrogen, lipid, and energy increased with increasing cottonseed in the diet...
متن کاملAnimal performance and meat characteristics in steers reared in intensive conditions fed with different vegetable oils.
Enhancing the quality of beef meat is an important goal in terms of improving both the nutritional value for the consumer and the commercial value for producers. The aim of this work was to study the effects of different vegetable oil supplements on growth performance, carcass quality and meat quality in beef steers reared under intensive conditions. A total of 240 Blonde D' Aquitaine steers (a...
متن کاملEffects of whole cottonseed on performance, carcass characteristics, and Escherichia coli O157 shedding of finishing beef steers
Whole cottonseed has been used extensively in dairy cattle diets for many years; however, its use in the beef industry has been comparatively limited, despite its high protein and fat content. Previous research has suggested that whole cottonseed may decrease the shedding of Escherichia coli O157 in cattle (Hancock et al., 1994; Garber et al., 1995). Decreasing the prevalence of this organism a...
متن کاملEffects of whole cottonseed, cottonseed oil or animal fat on digestibility of wheat straw diets by steers.
Two completely random digestion trials were conducted, each with 12 beef steers (325 kg initial weight), to measure changes in digestibilities of fat and of forage components when fat was added to diets containing 62 to 76% wheat straw. Trial 1 diets contained either no added fat or 6.3% added fat from whole cottonseed (30% of the diet), cottonseed oil or animal fat; diets were formulated to co...
متن کاملEnergy requirement for maintenance and growth of Nellore bulls and steers fed high-forage diets.
Data from three comparative slaughter experiments with individually fed Nellore bulls (n = 31) and steers (n = 66) were utilized to determine their NEm and NEg requirements when fed high-forage diets. The experimental design provided ranges in ME intake, BW, and ADG for the development of regression equations to predict NEm and NEg requirements. The Nellore bulls (Trial 1) were divided into two...
