A 2-yr study utilizing 120 mature,
crossbred (Angus × Herford) cows/year, evaluated the
influence of cow BCS and dried distillers grains with
solubles (DDGS) supplementation during late gestation
on cow performance and productivity of subsequent
offspring. Treatments were arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial
in a randomized complete block...
Advancing our ability to use invasive plants for producing commodities is central to the agricultural industry. Our objective was
to evaluate Russian knapweed (Acroptilon repens [L.] DC.) as a winter feed supplement for ruminant livestock. In Experiment
1, we utilized three ruminally cannulated steers in a completely randomized design to...

Ion pairs are difficult to observe spectroscopically because they generally do not persist unless extreme solution conditions are...
