diet, and history of disease were recorded. Diet was divided into
three categories; local feed only, commercial feed, and Se supplemented feed. Region (p<.01), diet type (p<.01), and a region x...
Metabolic and performance parameters of beef calves were
compared between Se supplemented (Se) and control (C) dam
treatment groups from known Se deficient cattle. Four
trials were conducted at three locations involving 50,
36, 25 and 39 experimental dam/calf pairs. Se
supplementation was either two 30 gram oral boluses (90%...
Two concurrent studies were conducted to evaluate the effect
of selenium (Se) supplementation on beef cows. Trial 1 was designed
to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two intrareticular Se supplementation
delivery systems. Trial 2 was designed to evaluate the
transfer of Se across the placenta and through the colostrum...
A silvopastoral system using a Douglas-fir
