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...

Effects of alpha-linolenic and linoleic acids on timed AI reproductive performance in replacement beef heifers, Effects of α-linolenic and linoleic acids on timed AI reproductive performance in replacement beef heifers

Creator:

Thompson, Emily C.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine if supplementing linoleic or α-linolenic acids, and timing of supplementation around AI will alter supplemental intake, ADG, and serum progesterone (P4), cholesterol, and triglyceride concentrations in replacement Angus crossbred heifers. In yr 1, 54 heifers, stratified by age, were assigned to: barley...
