Ruminal and Postruminal Starch Digestion by Cattle
Grains are fed to livestock primarily to supply energy, and most of the digestible energy in cereal grains comes from starch. To maximize starch digestion by livestock, corn and sorghum grain must be processed. For nonruminants, starch from finely ground grain is fully digested, but for ruminants fed high concentrate diets, finely ground grain often causes metabolic diseases. Hence, rather than...
متن کاملProtein Requirements of Zebu Beef Cattle
Protein is one of the most important essential nutrients; it is involved in many vital functions in the body, such as growth and tissue repair, enzyme catalysis, transport and storage, coordinated movement, mechanical support, immunological protection, generation and transmission of nerve impulses, and control of metabolism, growth and cellular differentiation. Therefore, ensure adequate supply...
متن کاملEnergy Requirements of Zebu Beef Cattle
Projections for beef cattle production in Brazil for the next 10 years forecast an annual increase of about 3.5%. For the same period, a 2.22% growth in the domestic intake of beef cattle and an increase of 3.07% a year in exportation is estimated. This annual increase in exportation could reach 3.4 million tons by 2019, establishing Brazil as the main beef exporting country (MAPA/AGE, 2009). T...
متن کاملEffective crossbreeding systems utilizing Zebu cattle.
The basic objectives and procedures for successful crossbreeding of beef cattle were considered, with special reference to the levels of realized hybrid vigor that might be anticipated for different crossbreeding programs involving the American Brahman (Z1) and European (Ej) breeds. Intralocus heterozygosis levels with respect to breed origin of genes (breed heterozygosis) were computed for var...
متن کاملEffects of ruminal casein and glucose on forage digestion and urea kinetics in beef cattle.
Effects of supplemental glucose and degradable intake protein on nutrient digestion and urea kinetics in steers (Bos taurus) given ad libitum access to prairie hay (4.7% CP) were quantified. Six ruminally and duodenally cannulated steers (initial BW 391 kg) were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square with 2 extra steers. Treatments were arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial and included 0 or 1.2 kg of glucose an...
