Nutritional Quality of Sun-dried Swine Excreta for Beef Cattle

Genetic and nutritional effects on swine excreta.

The objective of this study was to investigate genetic and nutritional effects on swine excreta. Two studies were used. Study I was a 3 x 2 x 2 factorial design with three genetic groups, two diets, and two sexes. Genetic groups were a maternal line (WL), paternal line (BL) and their F1 progeny. Corn-soybean meal diets with either 18 or 14% CP, differing only by substitution of soybean meal for...

Nutritional Disorders in Beef Cattle - FSA3071

Nutritional disorders associated with both forage and feed consump­ tion can have a large impact on the profitability of beef cattle operations. Forages are an important component of beef cattle production systems in Arkansas. Most cow­calf and stocker cattle enterprises in Arkansas rely heavily on forage­based nutritional programs. Forages are used for both livestock grazing and hay production...

ALPHARMA BEEF CATTLE NUTRITION SYMPOSIUM: Implications of nutritional management for beef cow-calf systems1

Alpharma Beef Cattle Nutrition Symposium: implications of nutritional management for beef cow-calf systems.

The beef cattle industry relies on the use of high-forage diets to develop replacement females, maintain the cow herd, and sustain stocker operations Forage quantity and quality fluctuate with season and environmental conditions Depending on class and physiological state of the animal, a forage diet may not always meet nutritional requirements, resulting in reduced ADG or BW loss if supplementa...
