Performance of Beef Calves
These results support the earlier findings by Dr. Bill Kunkle and his research involving limitcreep supplements based on cottonseed meal and salt mixtures. Calf performance responses, as measured by the added gain realized by creep supplementation, are highly variable and cannot always be described by amounts of creep feed consumed. This variability has large and direct impacts on the cost effe...
متن کاملEarly weaning beef calves.
Early weaning is a management practice that reduces grazing pressure on pastures by decreasing the nutrient requirements of cows. Calves that are weaned early are relatively efficient at converting feed to gain, and can weigh as much, or more than, calves allowed to remain with their dams until a conventional weaning age is reached. Balanced diets with excellent physical, chemical, and palatabi...
متن کاملComparison of Feed Additives during Preconditioning on Growth and Performance of Beef Calves
The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of weaned calves to different feed additives within a preconditioning supplement. Specifically, alternatives to antibiotics and ionophores were evaluated to determine their effectiveness in improving calf performance and mitigating the stress response observed during the weaning process. Following stratification by bodyweight, sex, previo...
متن کاملComparison of Manufactured Supplement to a Commodity Blend for Preconditioning Beef Calves
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of weaning 60d early and the choice of calf supplement on calf performance and economic return. Additionally, cow body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS), and economic outcome of weaning 60 d early was evaluated. Forty 2-yr old cows and calves were divided into 3 groups; early-weaned and supplemented with Southern States Jump Start fee...
متن کاملBrain Regulation of Growth in Beef Calves
Small peptide hormones produced in the lower part of the brain (hypothalamus) regulate episodic and basal secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland that affect metabolism and growth in cattle. This study focused on long-term growth in young calves subjected to hypophysectomy (HYPOX), hypophyseal stalk transection (HST), and sham operation control (SOC). Crossbred (Hereford x Aberd...
