Effect of zilpaterol hydrochloride duration of feeding on performance and carcass characteristics of feedlot cattle.
Four trials, each with a randomized complete block design, were conducted with 8,647 beef steers (initial BW = 346 +/- 29.6 kg) in 3 different locations in the United States to evaluate the effects of zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) on performance and carcass characteristics of feedlot cattle. Treatments consisted of feeding ZH (8.33 mg/kg of dietary DM) for 0, 20, 30, or 40 d, at the end of the ...
متن کاملWheat distillers grains in feedlot cattle diets: feeding behavior, growth performance, carcass characteristics, and blood metabolites.
A study was conducted to evaluate feed intake, ADG, carcass quality, eating behavior, and blood metabolites in feedlot beef steers fed diets that varied in proportion of wheat dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) replacing barley grain or barley silage. Two hundred crossbred steers (BW = 489 ± 30 kg) were blocked by BW and randomly allotted to 20 pens (5 pens per treatment). Steers were...
متن کاملCarcass Characteristics of Forage-Finished Cattle Produced in Hawai‘i
It is extremely difficult for the Hawai‘i beef industry to compete against the concentrate-finished beef that dominates the U.S. beef industry because of our state’s lack of grain production, lack of economy of scale, and an inefficient processing segment. Nevertheless, produc ers continue to keep their faith in the local and emerg ing niche markets, looking for opportunities for mar keting ...
متن کاملEffects of wet corn gluten feed and roughage levels on performance, carcass characteristics, and feeding behavior of feedlot cattle.
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding different levels of wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) and dietary roughage on performance, carcass characteristics, and feeding behavior of feedlot cattle fed diets based on steam-flaked corn (SFC). In Exp. 1, crossbred steers (n = 200; BW = 314 kg) were fed 4 dietary treatments (DM basis): a standard SFC-based diet containing 9% rough...
متن کاملSouthern Section Interdisciplinary Beef Cattle Symposium: Carryover effects of stocker cattle systems on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics.
Stocker cattle production practices may affect subsequent performance of cattle in economically meaningful ways. Literature was reviewed to summarize possible carryover effects of stocker cattle management on finishing performance and carcass traits. The most consistent effects of stocker phase practices on finishing-phase and carcass performance of cattle appear to be explained by changes in p...
