Comparison of Low-Input Pasture to High-Input Drylot Backgrounding on Performance and Profitability of Beef Calves Through Harvest
Over 3 yr, 250 calves (236 kg initial BW; 133 steers and 117 heifers) were used to compare a low-input pasture backgrounding system (PAST) to a highinput drylot system (DLOT) to evaluate performance and profit during the backgrounding (BACKGRD; weaning to 42 to 45 d) and finishing (FINISH; end BACKGRD to slaughter) phases. Calves were randomly assigned to PAST or DLOT treatments during BACKGRD....
متن کاملNew insights on ill-thriftiness in early-weaned buffalo calves
AIM The present study was designed to: (1) Investigate the effect of weaning time on various metabolic indices and growth pattern in buffalo calves compared to cow calves under field condition and (2) Shed light on the potential relationship between early weaning, growth metabolites, and suboptimal growth (ill-thrift) in buffalo calves. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total number of 18 neonatal calv...
متن کاملNutrition and Immunity for Pre-weaned Dairy Calves
Dairy calves are extremely susceptible to gastro-intestinal disease during the pre-weaned period. The risk for enteric disease decreases as the calf ages; therefore, it is important to break the pre-weaned period up into at least 2 distinct phases that likely need to be managed differently, early life (1st and maybe the 2nd week of life) and the remaining time the calf is fed fluid. When a calf...
متن کاملHow Much Supplement is Needed for Early Weaned Calves Grazing Rye- Ryegrass Pastures?
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of three levels of supplement on forage intake and animal performance of early weaned calves grazing rye-ryegrass pastures from January to May. Treatments were three levels of concentrate (1, 1.5, and 2% of body weight [BW]), and animals were 90-d-old Angus-crossbred early weaned calves. Calf ADG increased from 1.6 to 1.9 lb/d as supplement...
متن کاملEarly attachment sites for Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in experimentally inoculated weaned calves.
Weaned 3- to 4-month-old calves were fasted for 48 h, inoculated with 10(10) CFU of Shiga toxin-positive Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 strain 86-24 (STEC O157) or STEC O91:H21 strain B2F1 (STEC O91), Shiga toxin-negative E. coli O157:H7 strain 87-23 (Stx(-) O157), or a nonpathogenic control E. coli strain, necropsied 4 days postinoculation, and examined bacteriologically and histologically. S...
