Shade and water misting effects on behavior, physiology, performance, and carcass traits of heat-stressed feedlot cattle.

One hundred twelve crossbred feedlot heifers were used in two experiments to assess the impact of heat stress and its relief by shade and(or) water misting on behavior, physiology, performance, and carcass traits. Treatments were 1) no shading or misting (CONT); 2) only misting (MIST); 3) only shading (SHADE); and 4) shading plus misting (SHMI). Head in the feed bunk, head in or above the water...

Some Effects of Shade on Zebu Cross Cattle in a Feedlot

The comparative performance of shaded and unshaded Zebu cross steers was studied in a Queensland feedlot from January to May 1992. The provision of shade gave no significant (P > 0.05) advantage in liveweight gain (182 V. 177 kg), feed conversion ratio (9.4 v. 9.8 kg of fresh feed/kg liveweight gain), carcase weight, dressing percentage, P8 rump fat, eye muscle area, saleable meat yield, meat c...

Effects of shade and feeding zilpaterol hydrochloride to finishing steers on performance, carcass quality, heat stress, mobility, and body temperature.

Steers ( = 480; 22% with black hides and 78% with red hides) were used to study the effects of shade and feeding zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) on performance, carcass quality, heat stress, mobility, and body temperature (BT). A randomized block design with a 2 × 2 factorial treatment arrangement was used with 4 replicates per treatment. Factors included housing type (open or shaded pens) and th...

Shade effects on performance, carcass traits, physiology, and behavior of heat-stressed feedlot heifers.

To determine whether shade influences performance, carcass traits, immunology, respiration rate, and behavior of cattle under conditions similar to those in commercial feedlots, we used 168 heifers in 12 soil-surfaced pens. Six pens were shaded with a galvanized steel-roofed shade (approximately 4 m high), allowing for 2.12 m2 of shade/heifer, and six pens served as the unshaded control. Heifer...
