Effects of whole cottonseed on performance, carcass characteristics, and Escherichia coli O157 shedding of finishing beef steers
Whole cottonseed has been used extensively in dairy cattle diets for many years; however, its use in the beef industry has been comparatively limited, despite its high protein and fat content. Previous research has suggested that whole cottonseed may decrease the shedding of Escherichia coli O157 in cattle (Hancock et al., 1994; Garber et al., 1995). Decreasing the prevalence of this organism a...
متن کاملRecombinant bovine somatotropin improves growth performance in finishing beef steers.
The objectives of this study were to determine the efficacy of various doses of rbST on ADG and feed efficiency (FE) and to describe carcass composition changes in finishing beef steers. In Exp. 1, 96 crossbred beef steers (393 kg) received daily i.m. injections of buffer or 33, 100, or 300 micrograms/kg of BW of rbST (0ST, 33ST, 100ST, 300ST). In Exp. 2, 200 crossbred beef steers (417 kg) rece...
متن کاملLevels of Supplementation for Grazing Beef Heifers
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of providing different levels of a supplement on the nutritional characteristics and productive performance of heifers on pasture during the rainy-dry transition and dry season in Brazil or tropical area. Thirty crossbred heifers with predominance of Zebu breed were used in a completely randomized experimental design. Treatments consis...
متن کاملEffects of feeding whole cottonseed and cottonseed products on performance and carcass characteristics of finishing beef cattle.
Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of whole cottonseed or cottonseed products on performance and carcass characteristics of beef cattle. In Exp. 1, 120 beef steers (initial BW = 381 +/- 31.7 kg) were fed steam-flaked corn-based finishing diets with 10% (DM basis) basal roughage, and whole cottonseed or individual cottonseed components (cottonseed hulls, meal, and oil). Ov...
متن کاملEffects of residual and reapplied biosolids on performance and mineral status of grazing beef steers.
An experiment was designed to assess the mineral status of 60 Angus yearling beef steers grazing bahiagrass pastures fertilized with large amounts of biosolids from three sources: Baltimore, MD; Tampa, FL; and Largo, FL. Biosolids were classified as exceptional quality and thus had no regulatory restrictions on loading rate. They differed primarily in concentration of Mo (12 to 56 mg/kg of DM)....
