Reproductive success is relevant in beef cattle operations because income generated by the sale of calves is often a large portion of an operation's income. Selecting for fertility is difficult because it is influenced by a variety of factors. Temperament could be a factor affecting fertility. Physiological responses associated with temperament can influence the probability of cows becoming pregnant because stress hormones in the bloodstream can negatively affect the release of reproductive hormones. Methods have been developed to assess temperament in cattle. Exit velocity measures the time it takes for an animal to cover a predetermined distance after vacating a …

Reproductive success is economically relevant in beef cattle operations because the number of calves born influences the value of calves sold at weaning. Improvements in reproductive performance can be up to four times more important than improvements in end-product traits in an operation selling calves at weaning. Selecting for fertility is difficult because it is influenced by a variety of factors. Temperament is one of the factors affecting fertility that requires further investigation. Researchers report that physiological responses associated with temperament can influence the probability of cows becoming pregnant. Stress hormones such as cortisol in the bloodstream can negatively affect …

Cattle producers historically have selected for docile temperaments simply for management convenience because calmer animals are conducive to safe environments for their peers as well as their handlers. As many producers would acknowledge, however, there seems to be a relationship between temperament and cattle health, and calmer cattle tend to frequent the working chute for treatment of disease less often. Positive correlations have been found in cattle between temperament traits (chute scores, pen scores, and chute exit velocities) and cortisol concentration in the blood, suggesting that more excitable cattle are easily stressed (Curley et al., 2006; Cooke et al., 2009). …
Variation In Timed Artificial Insemination Pregnancy Rates In Specific Groups Of Suckled Beef Cows (2014), Scott L. Hill, Jeffrey S. Stevenson
Variation In Timed Artificial Insemination Pregnancy Rates In Specific Groups Of Suckled Beef Cows (2014), Scott L. Hill, Jeffrey S. Stevenson
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Insemination of beef cows at a predetermined time is a management tool to reduce labor costs associated with conventional heat detection available to cattle producers. Multiple research trials have examined the timing of the administration of the individual components of the developed protocols associated with timed artificial insemination (TAI). In the current research, we examined various classifications of postpartum beef cows and analyzed their reproductive performance when submitted to TAI protocols. The 7-day CO-Synch + controlled internal drug release (CIDR) insert protocol and the 5-day CO-Synch + CIDR protocol have been shown to effectively initiate ovulation in cycling and non-cycling …
Botanical Composition Of Beef Cow Diets Shifts When Native Range Infested With Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza Cuneata) Is Supplemented With Corn Steep Liquor (2014), Garrett W. Preedy, K. C. Olson, Leigh W. Murray, Walter H. Fick
Botanical Composition Of Beef Cow Diets Shifts When Native Range Infested With Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza Cuneata) Is Supplemented With Corn Steep Liquor (2014), Garrett W. Preedy, K. C. Olson, Leigh W. Murray, Walter H. Fick
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Corn steep liquor supplementation indicated that a higher percentage of sericea lespedeza plants were defoliated in pastures grazed by corn steep liquor-supplemented cows than in pastures grazed by unsupplemented cows; however, it was unknown if defoliation was related directly to grazing activity of cows. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate the effects of supplemental corn steep liquor on botanical composition of the diets of beef cows grazing native tallgrass rangeland infested with sericea lespedeza in the Kansas Flint Hills.
Combining Ruminally Protected Choline And Flaxseed In Cattle Diets To Increase The Assimilation Of Omega-3 Fatty Acids From The Diet (2014), Caleb P. Weiss, Cadra L. Van Bibber-Krueger, K. A. Miller, Christian A. Alvarado-Gilis, James S. Drouillard
Combining Ruminally Protected Choline And Flaxseed In Cattle Diets To Increase The Assimilation Of Omega-3 Fatty Acids From The Diet (2014), Caleb P. Weiss, Cadra L. Van Bibber-Krueger, K. A. Miller, Christian A. Alvarado-Gilis, James S. Drouillard
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Omega-3 fatty acids are an essential part of a healthy human diet. If consumed regularly, these fatty acids attenuate inflammation and lower risk of inflammatory diseases, such as heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis. The human body cannot synthesize adequate amounts of omega-3 fatty acids; they must be obtained by consuming foods that are rich in omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in foods like fish, some oilseeds, and some nut oils. Overall consumption of these foods is relatively low compared with the consumption of red meat such as beef, which typically contains relatively small amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. …
Effects Of Different Feed Mills And Conditioning Temperature Of Pelleted Diets On Nursery Pig Performance And Feed Preference From 14 To 50 Lb (2014), Jon A. De Jong, Joel M. Derouchey, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Steven S. Dritz

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 644 pigs (PIC 1050 or 327 × 1050, initial BW~14 lb) were used in 3 experiments to determine possible explanations for poorer pig performance in previous studies with pigs fed pelleted diets compared with those fed meal diets. Therefore, we examined feed pelleted from different mills as well as conditioning temperature as factors influencing our previous results. In Experiment 1, pens of pigs were randomly allotted to 1 of 3 dietary treatments with 10 pens per treatment and 7 pigs per pen. The 3 dietary treatments used the identical corn-soybean meal—based formulation and were mixed from the …

A total of 576 pigs (PIC 327 × 1050; initially 96 lb BW) from 2 consecutive finishing groups were used to determine the effects of wheat source and particle size of pelleted diets on finishing pig growth performance, caloric efficiency, and carcass characteristics. Pigs were allotted randomly to pens upon entry into the finisher. Pens of pigs were balanced by initial BW and randomly allotted to 1 of 6 dietary treatments with 12 replications per treatment and 8 pigs per pen in two groups of finisher pigs. The experimental diets all had the same wheat-soybean meal formulation, with the 6 …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 1,232 pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 59.4 lb) were used in a 98-d study to evaluate the influence of increasing dietary niacin supplementation on growth, body temperatures, and meat quality of pigs raised in a commercial facility during the summer. There were 28 pigs per pen and 11 pens per treatment. Basal diets contained corn, soybean meal, and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). The four dietary treatments were formed by adding increasing levels of nicotinic acid as the source of niacin (Lonza, Allendale, NJ) at 14, 172, 331, and 490 mg/lb of complete feed. On …

The high usage of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) in swine diets and the economical availability of feed-grade tryptophan have allowed swine nutritionists to include L-tryptophan in practical diet formulations. The objective of these experiments was to determine the effects of different standardized ileal digestible tryptophan:lysine (SID Trp:Lys) ratios on growth performance and economics in finishing pigs. Three 21-d growth experiments with a total of 1,166, 1,099, and 1,132 gilts (337 × 1050; PIC, Hendersonville, TN) and initial BW of 66.0 ± 1.8, 122.2 ± 4.3, and 156.9 ± 2.8 lb were used in Experiments 1, 2, and 3, …
