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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Remote ruminal temperature monitoring in feedlot cattle: Effects of bovine respiratory disease, ruminal acidosis, and inclusion of dietary B-adrenergic agonists
(2011-07)
Ruminal temperature monitoring has potential as a useful tool to detect physiological changes in cattle resulting from illness and dietary changes. Heifer calves (n = 366, mean initial BW = 243 +/- 30 kg) were assigned to ...
Effects of Extended Water Restriction on Performance, Behavior, Health, and Welfare of Feedlot Steers
(2019-07)
Climate change and a growing human population are expected to impact water availability globally, which could limit water resources for animal agriculture. As water resources become scarcer, methods to efficiently utilize ...
