Scrotal circumference measurements as an indicator of growth in the male beef animal

Creator:: Pirelli, Gene J.
Abstract:: Testes size as an indicator of future growth was examined in a total of 45 bull calves from spring calves born in 1978 and 1979. Scrotal circumference measurements were used as the physical indicator of testicle size in the live animal. Growth traits studied were preweaning average daily gain, weaning...

Nutrition and management of the beef unit for production of slaughter animals on range and improved pastures in southeastern Oregon

Creator:: Daugherty, Dennis A.
Abstract:: Studies were conducted over a two year period to evaluate alternative finishing methods for spring and fall-born beef cattle. Management alternatives from birth to slaughter included season of calving, lactating cow nutrition, preweaning calf nutrition, weaning age, calf and yearling winter nutrition, range and irrigated pasture supplementation, grazing practice, range...

The effect of certain production factors and rates of gain on carcass characteristics of beef steers

Creator:: Thompson, Kenneth Earl
Abstract:: The purpose of the present study was to determine the association of initial weight, average daily gain, days on feed, percent total digestible nutrients (TDN) and percent digestible protein in the ration with USDA carcass grade, marbling score, conformation score, back fat thickness and area of longissimus dorsi of beef...

Analysis of two alternative management systems for the production of fall born beef calves in western Oregon

Creator:: Rosecrans, John Gerald
Abstract:: Two management systems were evaluated in terms of the effects on calf growth, on calf weight produced per cow per year, and on reproductive performance of fall calving cows. The alternative management systems tested were twin foster calf production and, delayed weaning, production of single suckled calves weaned at the...

Selection applied, response of traits and combining abilities of inbred lines of beef cattle

Creator:: Hoornbeek, Frank K. (Frank Kent), 1928-
Abstract:: The investigations reported are based on two studies; the first is concerned with the selection practiced for performance in one inbred Angus and three inbred Hereford lines of cattle, the realized responses, levels of inbreeding and associated performance, and heritabilities of the performance traits. Selection differentials for all performance traits...

Computer simulation of beef cattle production systems in the Llanos of Columbia

Creator:: Levine, Joel Martin
Abstract:: A simulation model capable of execution on a programmable calculator was developed to study voluntary intake, liveweight change, and fertility of grade Zebu cows in the Llanos of Colombia. Organic nitrogen in the diet and meta bolic weight were used to predict intake; age, liveweight, and energy concentration were the...

Alternate methods of fattening steers in Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Whittington, David Lynn
Abstract:: Studies were conducted at the Squaw Butte Experiment Station during two consecutive years to : (1) compare various internal indicators and chromic oxide to estimate forage intake and fecal production, (2) compare methods of producing slaughter weight steers using maximum quantities of forage and minimum quantities of grain. Actual fecal...

Mathematical modeling of selection and crossbreeding in beef cattle

Creator:: Clarke, Stephen Emil
Abstract:: A mathematical model was developed to simulate alternative selection and crossbreeding strategies for commercial beef production. Biological and economic constraints were selected to represent typical pasture production of calves in the Northwest. The crossbreeding study evaluated the relative economic efficiency of different 1) mating plans when sire breeds of several...

Monensin and zeranol alone and in combination for growing-finishing steers and growing heifers

Creator:: Wooten, Donald Griffin
Abstract:: Ninety-two spring-born and 76 fall-born steer and heifer calves (Hereford and Angus x Hereford) averaging 188 and 255 kg, respectively, were utilized in a 2x2 factorial arrangement of treatments to study the effects of zeranol and monensin, alone and in combination, on growth rate, feed efficiency and carcass characteristics. After...
