Performance of light vs heavy steers grazing Plains Old World bluestem at three stocking rates.
Live weight gains of light and heavy calves grazing Plains Old World bluestem at three stocking rates were evaluated during the summers of 1997 and 1998. Initial weights of mixed-breed light-weight steers (LHT) were 141 SD = 17 kg (n = 214) in 1997 and 160 SD = 23 kg (n = 193) in 1998. Initial weights of mixed-breed heavy steers (HWT) were 265 SD = 17 kg (n = 115) in 1997 and 248 SD = 13 kg (n ...
متن کاملEffects of Cultivar and Distillers Grains Supplementation on Grazing and Subsequent Finishing Performance of Stocker Steers Grazing Tall Fescue Pasture
Four hundred thirty-two yearling steers grazing tall fescue pastures were used to evaluate the effects of fescue cultivar and dried distillers grains (DDG) supplementation during the grazing phase on available forage, grazing gains, subsequent finishing gains, and carcass characteristics. Fescue cultivars evaluated were highendophyte ‘Kentucky 31’ and low-endophyte ‘Kentucky 31,’ ‘HM4,’ and ‘Ma...
متن کاملEffects of stocking and nitrogen fertilization rates on steers grazing dallisgrass-dominated pasture.
To compare the performance of steer calves managed under different stocking rates (SR; 3.7, 6.2, 8.6, and 11.1 steers/ha for 140 d; chi(I1)) and N fertilization rates (112, 224, and 336 kg of N/ha; chi(I2)) in May 1996, 1997, and 1998, 72 steer calves (BW = 231 +/- 2.5 kg) were assigned randomly to one of 12 0.81-ha dallisgrass (51%)/common bermudagrass (32%) pastures. One-third of the fertiliz...
متن کاملEffects of nitrogen fertilization and dried distillers grains supplementation: forage use and performance of yearling steers.
In a 3-yr study, corn dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) were evaluated as a substitute for forage and N fertilizer in yearling steers grazing smooth bromegrass. A total of 135 steers (330 +/- 10 kg) were used in a randomized complete block design to measure the effects of DDGS supplementation and N fertilization on animal and pasture performance. Steers were initially stocked at 6.8 ...
متن کاملEffect of an anthelmintic program with morantel tartrate on the performance of beef cattle.
A field trial was conducted to determine (1) the effectiveness of an anthelmintic program using morantel tartrate (MT) to control subclinical gastrointestinal parasitism among cattle on pasture and (2) the effects of the program on the performance of cattle. Two Hereford herds, each on a separate pasture with forage of comparable quality and quantity, were used. A stocking rate of .62 ha/cow-ca...
