Different periods of feed restriction before compensatory growth in Belgian Blue bulls: I. animal performance, nitrogen balance, meat characteristics, and fat composition.
Thirty double-muscled Belgian Blue bulls were maintained at a rate of gain of .5 kg/d during four periods of time, 115 (G2), 239 (G3), or 411 (G4) d (low growth period, LGP), before fattening (rapid growth period, RGP). Ten control animals (CG) were fed a diet rich in energy and protein. The G2, G3, and G4 were fed a diet low in energy and protein and the same diet as CG during RGP. Live weight...
متن کاملEffects of low-protein diets and rumen-protected conjugated linoleic acid on production and carcass traits of growing double-muscled Piemontese bulls.
The effects of low-protein (LP) diets and rumen-protected CLA on DMI, ADG, carcass traits, and health status of double-muscled Piemontese young bulls were investigated. Forty-eight bull calves (BW = 237 ± 24 kg) were divided in 4 groups and housed in 12 fully slatted pens. Bulls were fed 2 diets differing in CP density [high-protein (HP) diet: CP = 145 g/kg of DM; LP diet: CP = 108 g/kg of DM] ...
متن کاملAnimal performance, plasma hormones and metabolites in Holstein and Belgian Blue growing-fattening bulls.
Six Holstein (light-muscled type) and six Belgian Blue bulls (double-muscled type) were fed a finishing diet. Average daily gain was 1.36 kg for the Holstein bulls vs 1.24 kg for the Belgian Blue bulls (P less than .05). Holstein bulls consumed more feed (2.3 vs 1.8 kg/100 kg body weight, P less than .001) than the Belgian Blue bulls. The dressing percentage (55.4 vs 65.8%, P less than .001) an...
متن کاملPlasma growth hormone and insulin concentrations in double-muscled and normal bull calves.
Blood samples were taken from 19 double-muscled (DM) and 20 normal (N) bull calves at the ages of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5.5, 6.5 and 9 mo to compare the plasma concentrations of growth hormone and insulin in DM with those in N bull calves and to relate these to differences in growth rate between the two breed groups. Double-muscled bull calves were lighter (P less than .0001) than N calves at...
متن کاملSESSION C33.14 Effects of an additive enriched with the first limiting amino acids on growing performances of double-muscled Belgian Blue bulls fed a corn silage based diet
Two trials were conducted on double-muscled Belgian Blue bulls (BBb). The aims of the first one were (1) to determine the ruminal bypass of free amino acids (Met and Lys) administred intraruminally (once per day during the morning meal) and (2) to determine the lack of the first limiting amino acids (AA) of BBb for a corn silage based diet in order to formulate a specific additive that was inve...
