Influence of supplement composition on utilization of low-quality, cool-season forages by beef cattle

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...

Influence of protein supplementation frequency on cows consuming low-quality forage : performance, grazing behavior, and variation in supplement intake

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....
