Growth and carcass merit of purebred Jersey steer calves finished on grain-based diets at two different energy levels

Creator:: Tschida, Garrett L.
Abstract:: Purebred Jersey steers are often overlooked for beef production due to the perceived poor growth and production. Currently dairy persons marketing their steer offspring are receiving minimal compensation due to lack of demand by beef feeders and a saturated veal market. Twenty purebred Jersey steers were used to evaluate lifetime...

Botanical composition and diet quality of beef cattle grazing at three stocking rates following fuels reduction in mixed conifer forests

Creator:: Clark, Abe A.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of forest fuels reduction on the diet quality, botanical composition, relative preference, and foraging efficiency of beef cattle grazing at different stocking rates. A split plot factorial design was used, with the whole plots (3 ha) being fuel reduced or no treatment...

Influence of previous cattle and elk grazing on the subsequent diet quality and nutrient intake rate of cattle, deer, and elk grazing late-summer mixed-conifer rangelands

Creator:: Damiran, Daalkhaijav
Abstract:: Four studies were conducted on late-summer diet quality and quantity of cattle (Bos taurus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), and elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to prior grazing by cattle and elk on mixed-conifer rangelands and on related research techniques. In our first study we assessed a photographic technique to...

Effect of a direct-fed microbial on performance of single comb white leghorn chickens

Creator:: Nahashon, Samuel N.
Abstract:: Six experiments were carried out with Single Comb White Leghorn laying chickens to assess the effect of feeding a source of direct-fed microbials (Lactobacillus; Lacto) and its carrier [condensed cane molasses solubles (CCMS)] on the retentions of fat, nitrogen and several minerals; on the status of the pH of the...

Development, characterization and application of polyclonal antibodies against ovine adipocytes for body fat reduction by passive immunization

Creator:: Nassar, Abdul-Rahman Hassan
Abstract:: Three experiments were conducted (1) to develop and characterize polyclonal antibodies against ovine adipocyte plasma membranes (APM), (2) to evaluate the effect of administering the developed antibodies to lambs on lamb growth and carcass characteristics, and (3) to investigate the possibility of using the developed antibodies to identify antigenic components...

A comparative assessment of four winter feeding programs for spring calving cow-calf ranches in the Harney Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Bates, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: The objective of this thesis is to assess four winter feeding programs of spring-calving brood cows that may improve profitability to ranching operations of the Harney Basin, Oregon. The four feeding strategies include strip grazed rake-bunched hay, supplemented range grazing, strip grazed meadow pasture, and baled hay feeding. These first...

Winter nutrition of fall-calving cows and calves

Creator:: Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, Turner, Harley A., and Raleigh, Robert J.
Abstract:: Studies were conducted over a 10-year period to determine the feasibility of supplementing lactating cows being wintered on native meadow hay. The interaction between cow feed levels and creep feeding of calves was also investigated. Results show that a full feed of meadow hay to the cows and no creep...
