Effects of grazing management and targeted anthelmintic administration on the performance, parasite burden, and hematologic profiles of hair sheep
(2020-12)
The objective of this experiment was to determine if extensively managed rotational grazing would impact the performance, fecal egg counts, and hematologic profiles of hair sheep ewes and lambs. Crossbreed hair sheep ewes ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effect of water-soluble plant extract on nursery pig performance
(2022-07)
The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a water-soluble phytogenic product on growth performance and immune response of nursery pigs. 280 pigs were utilized in this 42-day study. Pigs were allocated ...
Effects of forage allowance and supplementation on performance of steers grazing winter wheat pasture
(2020-07)
A study was conducted over two fall/winter wheat grazing seasons (2018 - 2020) to estimate the combined effect of forage allowance and a fiber-based energy supplement in stocker cattle grazing wheat. Eight pastures (2.7 ...
Effect of Dietary Fiber Level on the Healing of Gastric Ulcers in Horses
(2019-07)
Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is estimated to occur in 53 to 93% of performance horses. Feeding practices, management, and dietary composition have all been suggested to impact the frequency and severity of EGUS. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Using whole cottonseed to replace dried distillers grains plus solubles and prairie hay in finishing cattle rations balanced for physically effective neutral detergent fiber
(2022-07)
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of replacing prairie hay and dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) with whole cottonseed (WCS) in finishing diets balanced for physically effective neutral ...
