Capital Investment Requirements For A 500, 1,000 And 10,000 Head Cattle Feedlot, Robert Allen, Myron Eighmy, David Jibben
Capital Investment Requirements For A 500, 1,000 And 10,000 Head Cattle Feedlot, Robert Allen, Myron Eighmy, David Jibben
Economics Research Reports
The purpose of this study is to figure the fixed costs of constructing and equipping a 500, 1,000 or 10,000 cattle feedlot given certain assumptions and restrictions, and to analyze those costs in terms of economic efficiency. The fixed costs are divided into six areas of analysis: the equipment of the feedlot, the pole buildings, the concrete flooring for the pole buildings, the feedlot building materials, the feedlot storage equipment and the waste disposal.

Characterization Of Biological Types Of Cattle Iii. Carcass Composition, Quality And Palatability, R. M. Koch, M. E. Dikeman, D. M. Allen, M. May, J. D. Crouse, D. R. Campion
Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications
Composition and quality characteristics of 1,121 steer carcasses obtained after mating Hereford and Angus cows to Hereford, Angus, Jersey, South Devon, Limousin, Charolais and Simmental sires were compared at a (1) constant age, (2) constant weight, and (3) constant percentage of fat in the longissimus muscle. Taste panel evaluation was made on a subsample of 496 carcasses. Growth rate of retail product, fat trim and bone differed significantly among sire breed groups. Breed group differences in relative proportions of retail product, fat trim and bone were largest when compared at a constant carcass weight and smallest when compared at equal …

Food Interactions Between Utah Prairie Dogs And Cattle, Dennis Crocker-Bedford
Food Interactions Between Utah Prairie Dogs And Cattle, Dennis Crocker-Bedford
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This study examined the food interactions between Utah prairie dogs (Cynomys parvidens, Allen) and cattle (Bos taurus). During 1974 and 1975, three prairie dog colonies near Panguitch, Utah, were studied intensely: "Oldfield" was chosen to represent colonies near fields of alfalfa (Medicago sativa); "Lowercrested" was chosen to represent colonies below 2,200 meters above sea level (a.s.l.) which were not near alfalfa, and "Uppercrested" was chosen to represent colonies above 2,200 meters a.s.l. which have been planted with crested wheatgrass.
Visual observations were made of Utah prairie dogs to determine their diets. Livetrapping of prairie …
G76-325 Sweet Clover Poisoning, I,A. Schipper
G76-325 Sweet Clover Poisoning, I,A. Schipper
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Sweet clover poisoning is a problem of varying frequency and intensity in livestock wherever sweet clover grows. The toxic compound produced in sweet clover prevents normal blood clotting resulting in hemorrhages and associated symptoms.
This publication covers which animals are most susceptible, the cause, prevention, management, and treatment of sweet clover poisoning.

G76-321 Use Of Energy Values In Ration Formulation, Paul Q. Guyer
G76-321 Use Of Energy Values In Ration Formulation, Paul Q. Guyer
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide contains information on the use of high energy values in ration formulation.
Ruminants digest feedstuffs primarily by fermentation in the rumen. This allows ruminant animals to use both roughages and grains as sources of carbohydrates for energy. Part of the carbohydrates pass through the rumen and are digested in the abomasum and small intestine. Most carbohydrates in feeds are converted to either acetic, propionic or butyric acid by rumen bacteria and protozoa. These short chain fatty acids are then absorbed through the rumen wall into the blood stream and eventually are used for energy in body tissue.
Cattle Fertility Not Harmed By Pour-On Insecticides, D J. Barker
Cattle Fertility Not Harmed By Pour-On Insecticides, D J. Barker
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Pour-on insecticides have been a feature of lice and fly control on cattle for many years and in many countries, but it seems that only in Western Australia have they been suspected of lowering fertility.
Frequent reports of this effect have been received by the Department of Agriculture since the first pour-on insecticide was marketed in W.A. in the late 1960's, culminating in the research work reported below.
The work clears pour-ons as a cause of reduced fertility in herds.
G76-324 Limiting Feed Intake With Salt, T.D. Rich, Steve Armbruster, D.R. Gill
G76-324 Limiting Feed Intake With Salt, T.D. Rich, Steve Armbruster, D.R. Gill
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Cattlemen are aware of the impact high cost labor has on profit; thus, management procedures which reduce labor requirements are important. One management tool frequently used is regulating feed intake with salt.
In addition, self-feeding supplements tend to allow timid, slow-eating cows to get their share and it is an easy method of providing Vitamin A, phosphorus and other feed additives. However, there are disadvantages to feeding salt-concentrate mixes. Salt is not a precise regulator of intake since certain individuals will tolerate more salt than others and abundant water is essential.
Daily salt requirement for mature cattle is less than …
