Alternative Feeds for Beef Cows and Stockers
40 percent of annual production costs in typical cow/calf operations. These costs also have a dramatic impact on cost per unit of gain in stocker operations. Consequently, cattle producers must continually evaluate new methods to make efficient use of available resources while optimizing animal performance and minimizing supplementation costs. Often, when cattle graze marginal to low quality fo...
متن کاملFeeding Rice Straw to Cattle
Feed is the largest single cost of producing beef. Producers who have access to alternative feeds often have economic advantages due to the lower costs of production. However, alternative feeds can present challenges due to variable consistency, variable supply, potential toxicants, and unusual composition.

Achieving a consistently successful A.I.-breeding program in a cow-calf operation requires attention to those heifers and cows not having normal estrous cycles (cycling) at the beginning of the breeding season. Because so many factors contribute to whether breeding females are cycling, including weather patterns, nutrition (availability of native forages or stored feeds), age or days since calv...
متن کاملLeast Cost Rations for Beef Cows
Winter feeding costs represent between 50 and 60 cents of every dollar spent on keeping a cow a year. Thus, any attempt to control or reduce costs of operating a cow herd must focus on controlling or reducing feed costs. However, attempts at controlling or reducing costs are highly dependent on the forage system that the cow-calf operation uses. Forage systems vary depending on a variety of fac...
متن کاملCoping with High Corn Prices: Low Starch Diets and Lactation Performance by Dairy Cows
Lactating dairy cow diets with more than 24% starch (DM basis) are common, but recent high corn prices have fueled a desire to feed lower-starch diets. The potential for using digestible neutral detergent fiber or pectin from byproduct feeds or sugars to partially replace starch from corn grain in diets fed to lactating dairy cows was reviewed. Potential modifying effects of corn silage, starch...
