Effects of Feeding Citrus Pulp or Corn Supplements With Increasing Levels of Added Undegraded Intake Protein on the Performance of Growing Cattle
نویسندگان
چکیده
This trial was designed to compare both corn and citrus pulp with added UIP as potential supplements for growing cattle fed low quality bahiagrass hay. Citrus pulp supplements produced gains similar to corn and performance was enhanced as level of UIP increased. Maximum ADG was achieved at 0.48 lb of added UIP. It is unclear if 0.48 lb of added UIP is the optimal level of supplementation because it was the highest level evaluated in this trial. This research would suggest that citrus pulp with added UIP could be used in place of corn with added UIP as an economical supplement for growing calves depending on availability and price.

Effects of Feeding Citrus Pulp Supplements on the Performance of Calves in a Preconditioning Program
Dehydrated citrus pulp and citrus pulp-protein supplements were evaluated as potential supplements for a preconditioning program. The supplements compared were no supplement, citrus pulp alone, citrus pulp with urea, and citrus pulp with added UIP. Supplemented cattle produced greater gains than unsupplemented cattle. Citrus pulp with added UIP produced the greatest ADG (0.95 lb/hd/d) whereas c...

To evaluate the effects of balancing total diet degradable intake protein with dietary total digestible nutrients (TDN), we conducted two studies during 2 yr with 100 (302 +/- 8 kg initial BW) mixed-breed yearling steers and 12 ruminally cannulated steers (526 +/- 28 kg). Steers individually received one of four supplements 5 d/wk while grazing dormant native tallgrass prairie. Supplements incl...

An experiment was carried out to determine the effect of corn silage particle size and fat supplements on performance, solid passage rate through the digestive tract, and chewing behavior in dairy cows. The forages were coarse or fine corn silage with geometric means of 8.8±2.7 and 5.6±2.8 mm, and alfalfa with geometrics means of 7.0±3.3 mm, and fat supplements were neutral fat (palm) and soy-o...
