Utilizing Forages To Program Steer Growth Patterns To Achieve Consistent Quality Beef, B. G. Warrington, J. W. Holloway, R. K. Miller, H. Lippke Apr 2023

Utilizing Forages To Program Steer Growth Patterns To Achieve Consistent Quality Beef, B. G. Warrington, J. W. Holloway, R. K. Miller, H. Lippke

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Many options are available for programming stocker cattle growth patterns through forage selection. In semi-arid south Texas rapid growth rates can be achieved by grazing irrigated small grains (oats, wheat and ryegrass) and slow growth rates are possible grazing native range pastures. Ryegrass (RG) nutrient quality indicates potential gains greater than 1.0 kg/d for steers, while typical winter native range (NR) pasture indicates gains of 0.45 kg/d or less. The purpose of this experiment was to quantify the impact of different programmed growth patterns on beef retail product especially size, marbling and tenderness.

Effect Of A Summer Period At Pasture On The Performance Of Young Bulls Offered Concentrates Ad Libitum, R. J. Fallon, M. G. Keane Apr 2023

Effect Of A Summer Period At Pasture On The Performance Of Young Bulls Offered Concentrates Ad Libitum, R. J. Fallon, M. G. Keane

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Holstein bull calves can produce a 250 kg carcass at 11 to 12 months of age on indoor feeding of ad libitum concentrates. An outdoor period at pasture would reduce housing costs. Two experiments were undertaken to determine the effect of an outdoor period at pasture on concentrate intake, liveweight gain and selected carcass traits of Holstein young bulls.
