Roughage Levels in Feedlot Rations
vitro digestibility tended to be greater with ammoniation. In the second trial, very high levels of ammonia, urea or glucose were added. Levels of insoluble protein were much higher in this trial than the other. This reflects the high variability of corn silage. Recovery of nitrogen added as ammonia averaged 82 percent while all of the nitrogen added as urea was recovered. The amounts of insolu...
متن کاملEffects of various roughage levels with whole flint corn grain on performance of finishing cattle.
Performance responses to steam flaking flint corn as well as to the addition of roughage to finishing diets composed of whole flint corn were evaluated. Ninety-six Nellore bulls were stratified by initial BW (373 ± 11 kg) and randomly allotted to 16 feedlot pens (6 bulls/pen) in a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates/treatment. Dietary treatments for the 86-d feeding trial consist...
متن کاملGrain Finishing Beef: Alternative Rations, Cattle Performance and Feeding Costs for Small Feeders
Introduction Even though many of the cattle finished in the United States are fed in large feedlots there are still many small finishing operations that lack the equipment and facilities of commercial feedlots and there are individuals that have an interest in fattening their own beef; 4-H projects or locker beef are prime examples. When finishing cattle, the nutritional requirements do not var...
متن کاملEvaluation of dried distillers grains and roughage source in steam-flaked corn finishing diets.
Two studies were conducted to evaluate effects of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and alfalfa hay (AH) or corn silage (CS) on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, ruminal fermentation, and diet digestibility in cattle fed steam-flaked corn (SFC) diets. In trial 1, crossbred heifers (n = 358; BW = 353 +/- 13 kg) were used in a finishing trial to evaluate interactions betwee...
متن کاملInfluence of Roughage in the Rations of Early Weaned Lambs
On the Balkan Peninsula, sheep lamb during the winter months, which necessitate to house and feed the lambs in indoor production systems. The proper nutrition of growing lambs is essential for their growth and development during the winter month, and the aim is attaining the desired live weight over a short time period with low feed expenditure.
