Effects of hay maturity on the enteric methane emissions, forage intake, energy metabolism and digestion by beef heifers
(2023-05)
Ruminants are a primary source of food security and play an essential part in sustainable agriculture. Ruminants consume fibrous feedstuffs and convert them to highly nutritional food and consumable products. While doing ...
Genomic Effects on Milk Fatty Acid Composition of Beef Cows and Its Influences on Calf Pre-weaning Growth
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)
Research has shown that milk yield (MWT) accounts for only a moderate amount of variation in pre-weaning average daily gain (PRWADG). This study was proved that milk fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), alone and in combination ...
Impact of Post-Harvest Interventions on the Color Stability, and Subsequently, the Palatability, of Beef From Cattle Fed Wet Distillers Grains
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-12-01)
Two hundred and forty heifers were fed at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK, in one of two treatment groups: A dry rolled corn (CON) diet or a diet including 30% wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS). Chuck ...
Water and forage intake, diet digestibility, and blood parameters for beef cows and growing heifers consuming water with varying concentrations of total dissolved salts
(2020-12)
As water becomes a more limited resource, efficient water utilization is needed to continue animal production during water scarcity and declining water quality. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects ...
Value of a Whole-chain Traceability System in Transmitting Genetic Information about Beef Tenderness
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)
Traceability in food supply chains has many potential benefits, including increased food safety, more efficient supply chain management, and greater opportunities for providing value-added products to consumers. In the ...
Effects of growth-promoting technologies on behavior, mobility, health parameters and heat stress of finishing steers
(2014-07)
Crossbred steers (n=336; initial BW 379 plus or minus 8kg) were used in a RCBD to determine the effects of growth-promoting technologies on steers' behavior, mobility, health parameters and heat stress. Treatments consisted ...
Effects of Hay Processing and Feeder Design on Hay Utilization
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)
Four experiments evaluated the effects of hay processing, bale feeder type and supplementation on hay utilization of beef cattle. Experiment 1used 64 crossbred gestating beef cows with two levels of hay processing (long ...
Feeding a Direct-Fed Microbial To Determine Performance, Carcass Characteristics, and Fecal Shedding of Escherichia Coli O157:H7 in Feedlot Heifers Fed With or Without Wet DistillerS Grains Plus Solubles
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)
Fluctuating corn prices related to increased ethanol production have had a significant impact on the cost of gain for cattle feeders that rely on corn-based diets. The inclusion of wet distiller's grains plus solubles ...
Winter Rye Pasture Production Programs for Growing Beef Cattle
(Oklahoma State University, 2006-12-01)
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different production programs on cattle performance while grazing winter rye pasture. Providing free-choice soybean hulls in winter pasture production programs ...
Effect of competition for an automated supplement feeder on supplement intake behavior of beef stocker steers
(2019-12)
The objective of this research was to determine the effect of competition for a feeding space at an automated supplement feeder on supplement intake behavior. A 2-yr study was conducted; each yr, 128 mixed-breed beef steers ...
