Nutrient And Energy Composition Of Beef Cattle Feedlot Waste Fractions, C. B. Gilbertson, J. A. Nienaber, J. R. Ellis, T. M. Mccalla, T. J. Klopfenstein, S. D. Farlin
Nutrient And Energy Composition Of Beef Cattle Feedlot Waste Fractions, C. B. Gilbertson, J. A. Nienaber, J. R. Ellis, T. M. Mccalla, T. J. Klopfenstein, S. D. Farlin
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This bulletin describes nutrient and energy composition of beef cattle waste fractions as a function of the ration roughage level and type of feedlot. Results can be used to plan engineering system approaches and research to develop handling and processing equipment necessary for recovery of the most valuable portion of waste.
G74-100 Feeding High Moisture Corn, Terry L. Mader, Paul Q. Guyer, Rick Stock
G74-100 Feeding High Moisture Corn, Terry L. Mader, Paul Q. Guyer, Rick Stock
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
In recent years the use of high moisture grain has become more popular due to the increased costs of handling and dry feed grains. For cattle feeders in particular, storing grains as high moisture is one practice that can improve their competitive position and reduce costs. Using high moisture grains allows greater opportunity to design a system that will minimize harvest, storage and feed processing costs.
Grains such as sorghum and wheat have been stored as high moisture, but corn is the principal high moisture grain stored. High moisture corn can be processed and stored as whole shelled corn, ground …
G74-136 Grain Sorghum Processing For Beef Cattle, Rick Stock, Terry L. Mader
G74-136 Grain Sorghum Processing For Beef Cattle, Rick Stock, Terry L. Mader
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the feeding value of grain sorghum relative to corn and various grain processing methods for grain sorghum.
It has been widely recognized that grain sorghum (milo) must be processed to be efficiently used by finishing cattle. Grain sorghum shows more improved utilization from processing than corn, wheat and barley. Dry ground or rolled grain sorghum has a relative feeding value of 85% to 95% (avg 90%) of dry rolled corn. Processing grain sorghum by more sophisticated methods (early harvesting, steam-flaking, etc.) greatly enhances its feeding value.
Chemical composition suggests that there should be less difference in the …
G74-166 Creep Feeding Beef Calves, Richard J. Rasby, Ivan G. Rush, James A. Gosey
G74-166 Creep Feeding Beef Calves, Richard J. Rasby, Ivan G. Rush, James A. Gosey
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Effects of creep feeding calves are covered here. Gross income of the cow/calf enterprise is partially dependent on weaning weight of the calves. Three possible non-genetic ways of increasing calf weaning weight are to increase milk production of the dam, increase forage consumption of the calf, or provide supplemental feed to the calf to increase nutrient intake. Management practices exist to increase standing forage quality, but management of that grass for the calf only is difficult. Likewise, increasing milk production of the dam requires greater feed inputs and possibly supplemental feed. Creep feeding studies consistently have shown an increase in …
Improvement Of Beef Cattle Through Breeding Methods. Summary Of Results From Regional Project Nc-1, Larry V. Cundiff, Keith E. Gregory
Improvement Of Beef Cattle Through Breeding Methods. Summary Of Results From Regional Project Nc-1, Larry V. Cundiff, Keith E. Gregory
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This publication is a revision of North Central Regional Publication 120, published by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station (Research Bulletin 196) in July, 1961. It summarizes the more important results from this project during its first 19 years of operation. It is by no means complete and includes only what is considered to be the "highlights" of findings at this time. A bibliography of all publications that provided the basis for this summary statement is included. This publication is in the nature of a progress report on many aspects of beef cattle breeding research. Although it is based on considerably …

Improvement Of Beef Cattle Through Breeding Methods. Summary Of Results From Regional Project Nc-1, Keith E. Gregory
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The major purpose of this project is to obtain information that beef cattle breeders can use to make maximum genetic improvement in all traits of economic value in beef cattle. The major objectives of NC-1 are the following: (1) to determine the traits of economic importance in beef cattle: (2) to assess their relative value; (3) to develop reliable methods and procedures for measuring and evaluating them; (4) to obtain estimates of their heritabilities; (5) to obtain estimates of the genetic and phenotypic correlations among all economically important traits; (6) to evaluate the effects and uses of inbreeding and heterosis; …
Principles Of Record Of Performance In Beef Cattle, K. E. Gregory, R. M. Koch, L. N. Hazel, D. Chambers
Principles Of Record Of Performance In Beef Cattle, K. E. Gregory, R. M. Koch, L. N. Hazel, D. Chambers
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
This publication provides a summary of the basic principles that should be considered in Record of Performance Programs with beef cattle. These principles are based on the results of research being conducted under Regional Project NC-1 as interpreted by the research personnel who participate in this effort.
Evaluation Of Ground Corncobs And Corncob Components As Nutritive Materials In Rations For Beef Cattle, J. Matsushima, T. W. Dowe, V. H. Arthaud
Evaluation Of Ground Corncobs And Corncob Components As Nutritive Materials In Rations For Beef Cattle, J. Matsushima, T. W. Dowe, V. H. Arthaud
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Two feeding trials were conducted to (1) determine the comparative feeding values of ground corncobs with two fractions of the corncobs--namely, the beeswing and woodyring, and (2) to compare different factors that might affect the utilization of ground corncobs and cob fractions in wintering rations for beef cattle.

Each year the federal government gathers data relating to agriculture through the various departments of the United States Department of Agriculture. These data are classified and analyzed by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics at Washington and all information which may be helpful to farmers is published. For several years it has been the policy of the Department of Rural Economics and the Agricultural Extension Service of the College of Agriculture, Lincoln, to select from the federal information facts which may be especially helpful to Nebraska farmers. These facts and other economic conditions in Nebraska are published this year as the …
Rb30-244 Types Of Farming In Nebraska, Harold Hedges, F.E. Elliott
Rb30-244 Types Of Farming In Nebraska, Harold Hedges, F.E. Elliott
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
"Type of farming" as used in this bulletin is a term descriptive of a group of farms similar in size and enterprise combination. Thus a group of farms having the same kind, quantity, and proportion of crops oand livestock may be said to be following the same type of farming. The term "type-of-farming area" refers to an area within which there is a high degree of uniformity in the type of farming practicse and in the physical and economic conditions under which production takes place. This should not be understood to mean that there is absolute uniformity either in farming …
