Fate Of Generic Escherichia Coli In Beef Steaks During Sous Vide Cooking At Different Holding Time And Temperature Combinations, Heather B. Hunt, Samuel C. Watson, Byron D. Chaves, Gary Sullivan
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
Sous vide cookery utilizes water baths held at precise temperatures to cook food and has increased in popularity in domestic and food service settings due to ease of use and consistent final cooking temperature of food. Some sous vide manufacturers’ cooking websites suggest cooking intact and nonintact beef products to internal temperatures as low as 115º F. To address the safety concerns of cooking non- intact beef products to temperatures below USDA- FSIS guidance temperatures, steaks were internally inoculated with a strain of generic E. coli and sous vide cooked to internal temperatures of 115, 125, 130, and 145º F …

Effect Of Increasing Corn Silage Inclusion In Finishing Diets With Or Without Tylosin On Performance And Liver Abscesses, Hannah C. Wilson, Levi Mcphillips, Bradely M. Boyd, Andrea K. Watson, J. C. Macdonald, Galen E. Erickson
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
A finishing study was conducted to assess the impact of increasing silage inclusion in finishing diets to reduce the prevalence of liver abscesses in beef cattle. Cattle were fed two inclusions of corn silage (15 or 45% of diet dry matter), with or without tylosin for control of liver abscesses. Cattle fed 15% corn silage had a 2% improvement in feed efficiency when tylosin was added to the diet. However, in cattle fed 45% corn silage, no improvements in feed efficiency were observed when tylosin was added to the diet. Cattle fed 15% corn silage without tylosin, had the greatest …
Impact Of Days Fed On Holstein Bull And Steer Performance And Cutability Of Cattle Pen- Fed Organic Diets, Elizabeth A. Schumacher, Braden C. Troyer, Bradley M. Boyd, Levi Mcphillips, J. C. Macdonald, Andrea K. Watson, Terry Klopfenstein, Galen E. Erickson
Impact Of Days Fed On Holstein Bull And Steer Performance And Cutability Of Cattle Pen- Fed Organic Diets, Elizabeth A. Schumacher, Braden C. Troyer, Bradley M. Boyd, Levi Mcphillips, J. C. Macdonald, Andrea K. Watson, Terry Klopfenstein, Galen E. Erickson
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
Performance, carcass characteristics, and total meat yield of Holstein bulls and steers were compared in a simulated organic production system with the goal of producing ground beef. Holstein bulls (n = 120, initial BW = 487 lb) and steers (n = 120, initial BW = 471 lb) of the same age were blocked by BW and assigned randomly to be harvested at 308, 343, 378, and 413 days on feed. After harvest, all meat o" the carcass was considered trim and was collected and weighed to calculate total trim yield. Bulls gained faster and had greater live body weight, carcass …
Evaluation Of Processing Technique For High- Moisture And Dry Corn Fed To Finishing Cattle, C A. Coulson, B M. Boyd, Braden C. Troyer, Levi Mcphillips, Mitch M. Norman, Galen E. Erickson
Evaluation Of Processing Technique For High- Moisture And Dry Corn Fed To Finishing Cattle, C A. Coulson, B M. Boyd, Braden C. Troyer, Levi Mcphillips, Mitch M. Norman, Galen E. Erickson
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
A 134- day finishing trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of milling method and corn type on finishing cattle performance and carcass characteristics. Treatments were applied in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement, with the first factor as milling method (Automatic Ag roller mill or hammer mill) and the second factor as corn type, either 100% dry corn, 50:50 blend of dry and high moisture corn, or 100% high moisture corn. $ ere was no interaction between milling method and corn type for carcass- adjusted final body weight, average daily gain, or dry matter intake but there was an …
Mineral Concentrations Of Forages For Livestock In Nebraska And South Dakota, Rebecca J. Kern, John W. Kern, Hannah M.G. Dorn, Carrie E. Putnam, Janna J. Block, Adele A. Harty, M. E. Drewnoski
Mineral Concentrations Of Forages For Livestock In Nebraska And South Dakota, Rebecca J. Kern, John W. Kern, Hannah M.G. Dorn, Carrie E. Putnam, Janna J. Block, Adele A. Harty, M. E. Drewnoski
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
Forage samples from Nebraska and South Dakota submitted to Ward Laboratories, Inc. from 2012– 2019 were analyzed for mineral concentrations. Samples were categorized by forage species, quality based on protein content, and mineral concentration based on requirements for lactating beef cows. ! e data indicate that copper and zinc are frequently deficient across all species and levels of forage quality, emphasizing the need for supplementation. Except for magnesium, macro- mineral deficiencies are less likely to occur when feeding high quality forages in Nebraska and South Dakota. Corn feedstuffs are particularly likely to result in mineral deficiencies if fed without mineral …
Evaluation Of Models Used To Predict Dry Matter Intake In Forage- Based Diets, Aksel Wiseman, Andrea K. Watson, Rick Stock, Terry Klopfenstein
Evaluation Of Models Used To Predict Dry Matter Intake In Forage- Based Diets, Aksel Wiseman, Andrea K. Watson, Rick Stock, Terry Klopfenstein
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
Accurately predicting intake is critical to model performance of cattle in order to formulate diets to meet nutritional requirements. Modeling systems must be accurate in order to provide correct information to producers. Multiple studies with growing cattle consuming forage- based diets were summarized. Actual gain and weights of the cattle were used to determine predicted dry matter intake using the Beef Cattle Nutrient Requirements Model (2016). ! e predicted dry matter intakes were compared to observed dry matter intakes to determine accuracy of the prediction model. ! e model over predicted intakes at low TDN and under predicted intakes at …
Growing Calf Intake Of Hay Or Crop Residue Based Diets, Aksel Wiseman, Andrea K. Watson, Rick Stock, Terry Klopfenstein
Growing Calf Intake Of Hay Or Crop Residue Based Diets, Aksel Wiseman, Andrea K. Watson, Rick Stock, Terry Klopfenstein
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
It is important to know or predict feed intake by growing calves on forage- based diets in order to balance these diets for nutrients such as energy and protein. Several growing calf studies with forage- based diets were summarized. ! ese studies evaluated the use of crop residue as a substitute for conventional forages, primarily grass hay. Calves gained about 1.8 lb/day for all forage- based diets. Calves consumed 2.6% of body weight daily when fed hay- based diets, but those fed residue with distillers grains diets consumed only 1.6% of body weight. However, when feeding the residue with distillers …
Winter Growth Rate And Timing Of Marketing On Economics Of Yearling Systems, Michael Merical, M. E. Drewnoski, Jay Parsons
Winter Growth Rate And Timing Of Marketing On Economics Of Yearling Systems, Michael Merical, M. E. Drewnoski, Jay Parsons
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
Economic analyses were conducted examining 18 years of Nebraska monthly- average auction data to ! nd the e" ects of certain management decisions on the pro! tability of yearling production systems. A 2×2 experimental design was used to examine four possible scenarios. $ e variables were either fast winter growth (daily gain, 2.0 lb/ day) or slow winter growth (daily gain, 0.8 lb/day), and either a September or a July marketing date. In addition to pro! tability, risk management was also examined in this study. Average pro! tability of all scenarios was good, ranging from $112 to $143 per calf. …
