Supplementation Strategies for Beef Cattle
cattle—as concentrated feeds, harvested forages, or a complementary grazing program— accounts for a significant portion of annual production costs in a cattle operation. To optimize productivity of today’s cattle operations, some supplemental nutrients will be required at critical periods during the annual production cycle. However, producers need to avoid unnecessarily compounding this cost by...

متن کاملStrategies for Managing Marbling in Beef Cattle
The objective of this paper is to review strategies that are known to enhance the level of marbling in beef. Research has demonstrated that marbling contributes significantly to beef’s eating quality—primarily to flavor and juiciness—but also to tenderness. Furthermore, a recent study showed that consumers are willing to pay 50% more for well-marbled USDA Prime grade steaks than for lesser-marb...
متن کاملSupplementation Strategies to Reduce Waste in Beef Cattle Systems
Some often cited reasons why both grain and forage prices are and will continue to be high include utilizing corn for ethanol production and the pressure corn grain prices placed on shifting other crop and forage land to corn grain production. Yet, current times of increased income present an ideal opportunity to improve resource management. This will be necessary to permit continued profit und...
متن کاملFetal Programming: Implications for Beef Cattle Production
The concept of fetal programming, also known as developmental programming, was first hypothesized using human epidemiological data in which environmental stimulus in utero resulted in altered long term development, growth, and disease susceptibility in children from undernourished mothers during the Dutch famine (Barker et al., 1993). Recently, literature regarding the effects of fetal programm...
