Comparison of various ectoparasite control strategies and viral vaccine regimens in feedlot cattle: Impacts on performance, health, parasite burden, acute phase proteins, and antibody titers
(2021-07)
Two experiments were conducted to compare various ectoparasite control strategies and viral vaccine regimens in feedlot cattle to determine the impacts on performance, health, parasite burden, acute phase proteins, and ...
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 ...
Effects of varying levels of trace mineral supplementation on performance, carcass characteristics, mineral balance, and antibody concentrations in feedlot cattle
(2021-05)
The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of increasing concentrations of trace minerals (TM) on finishing cattle performance, carcass characteristics, mineral balance, and antibody concentrations. Angus ...
Effects of low protein diets on broilers' energy balance, cecal microbiota composition, plasma metabolomics, and oxidative stress during experimentally induced heat stress
(2021-07)
Heat stress is a pressing challenge for livestock production. In 2013, the poultry industry alone lost $125-165 million due to heat stress-related death. The objective of Study 1 was to assess the effects of low protein ...
Effects of differing carbon dioxide levels on meat color in modified atmosphere packaging
(2021-05)
The objective of this study was to assess the effect of different carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration gas flushes in master packages on the display life of fresh beef. Twenty-five USDA Low Choice ribeye rolls (IMPS 112A) ...
Effect of increasing ruminal propionate on feed intake and glucose metabolism in steers fed a finishing diet
(2021-05)
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of increased propionate supply to steers fed a feedlot finishing diet on dry matter intake, feeding behavior, glucose clearance rate, insulin response and hepatic ...
Prediction of daily water intake of pigs during a 41-day nursery phase
(2021-07)
A total of 3,080 pigs (5.5 to 21.8 kg) were utilized to determine the estimated daily water intake of pigs during a 41-d nursery period. The data set included results from 11 experiments with 28 pens (10 pigs per pen). ...
