Measurement of Exhaled Nitric Oxide and Carbon Dioxide in the Breath of Beef Calves
(Oklahoma State University, 2006-07-01)Two experiments were conducted to test the ability to measure exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) and exhaled carbon dioxide (eCO 2 ) in the breath of healthy beef calves and calves showing clinical signs of bovine respiratory ... -
Modeling the Evolving Mexican Cattle and Beef Industry and the Economic Impacts of Additional Beef Fabrication
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)Beef packing infrastructure in Mexico has changed dramatically in recent years with a significant proportion of domestic beef production now fabricated into boxed beef in place of the carcass based system that dominated ... -
Novel analytical method, Birth Date Selection Mapping, detects response of the Angus (Bos taurus) genome to selection on complex traits
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-09)Background: Several methods have recently been developed to identify regions of the genome that have been exposed to strong selection. However, recent theoretical and empirical work suggests that polygenic models are ... -

Oklahoma Quality Beef Network: Price Premiums from a Preconditioning Program
(Oklahoma State University, 2004-07-01)The proposed study determined if an extra value existed in the preconditioned calves involved in this particular program. It is going to estimate the price differences between cattle sold through the OQBN program and ... -
Oklahoma stocker cattle industry: Structure and function
(2022-05)Little information exists on the decision making and management of the Oklahoma stocker industry and the economic flexibility of the stocker industry. A survey was conducted in 2017 by the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension ... -
Production Practices and Management Intensity of Oklahoma Cow-calf Producers Across Income and Herd Size
(Oklahoma State University, 2007-07-01)The purpose of this study was to analyze management practices of two groups of Oklahoma cow-calf producers based on commercial herd size and income dependency from beef production. Logit models were estimated to determine ... -
Proteomics approach to the study of cattle tick adaptation to white tailed deer
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)Cattle ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, are a serious threat to animal health and production. Some ticks feed on a single host species while others such as R. microplus infest multiple hosts. White tailed deer ... -
Rumen microbial population dynamics during adaptation to a high-grain diet
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-11)High-grain adaptation programs are widely used with feedlot cattle to balance enhanced growth performance against the risk of acidosis. This adaptation to a high-grain diet from a high-forage diet is known to change the ... -

Supplementation of dried distillers' grains cubes to cattle: Effects on forage intake and digestibility, grazing performance, and subsequent feedlot performance and carcass characteristics
(2021-12)Experiment 1 compared chemical composition and disappearance kinetics of loose and extruded dried distillers' grains (DDG), as well as evaluated DDG cube supplementation rate on DMI and digestibility for growing cattle ... -
Use of co-products from biofuels as a feed source for cattle and influence on the meat industry
(2009-12)Scope and Method of Study: Due to increased production of ethanol, frequency of distillers grains (DG) is on the rise. The objective was to determine the effects of wet (WDG) or dry (DDG) distillers grains on final product ... -
Use of near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy for the Characterization of Wheat and Barley Grain Entering Feedlots in Western Canada
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)The first experiment evaluated the use of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for the nutrient prediction of wheat grain and the factors affecting in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and in vitro kinetics ... -
Utilization of near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy for the Evaluation and Characterization of Barley in Western Canada
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)The first study evaluated near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for the determination of barley silage DM on as-is samples using either a commodity specific or broad based equation. A second study was conducted to ... -
Vegetation response to fire and domestic and native ungulate herbivory in a Wyoming big sagebrush ecosystem
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)Coupling of fire and grazing as a landscape management tool is a global phenomenon in many diverse landscapes. While grazing exclosure studies examining the effects of livestock on rangelands have provided insight into the ...
