Creator:: Schauer, Christopher Scott
Abstract:: Our objective was to determine the influence of CP supplementation frequency (SF) on cow performance, grazing time, distance traveled, maximum distance from water, cow distribution, DMI, DM digestibility, harvest efficiency (HE), percentage of supplementation events frequented, and CV for supplement intake for cows grazing low-quality forage. One hundred-twenty pregnant (approx....

Creator:: Merrill, Melissa L.
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of a yeast-derived cell wall preparation (YCW) on forage intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation characteristics, serum prolactin and prolactin stores, and milk production in beef cattle consuming high-alkaloid tall fescue straw. In Exp. 1, 16 Angus x Hereford ruminally cannulated steers (200...

Creator:: Fisher, Michael J.
Abstract:: We conducted two experiments evaluating perennial ryegrass straw as a forage source for ruminants. Experiment 1 evaluated digestion and physiological variables in steers offered perennial ryegrass straw containing increasing levels of lolitrem B. Sixteen ruminally cannulated Angus X Hereford steers (231 ± 2 kg BW) were blocked by weight and...

Creator:: McGuire, Dustin L.
Abstract:: Two studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of supplement composition on intake and digestibility of a low-quality (< 6% CP), cool-season forage, as well as cow performance. Treatments included a non-supplemented control (CON), corn (approximately 8% CP), corn and urea (LU = corn + 0.09 mg/kg BW urea, approximately...
