Effects Of Diets Containing Soybean Hulls Or Rolled Corn On The Performance And Mineral Status Of Newly Received Calves, Howard M. Blalock, Robbi H. Pritchard, William Epperson Jan 2003

Effects Of Diets Containing Soybean Hulls Or Rolled Corn On The Performance And Mineral Status Of Newly Received Calves, Howard M. Blalock, Robbi H. Pritchard, William Epperson

South Dakota Beef Report, 2003

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of soybean hulls as an energy source for newly received feeder calves and their effects on ADG, DMI, gain/feed (G/F), morbidity rate and mineral status. Steers from a single source were blocked into previously weaned (PW; n = 63; BW = 265 ± 2.9 kg) and non-weaned (NW; n = 92; BW = 264 ± 2.4 kg) groups, then allotted to one of two dietary treatment groups. Diets consisted of either rolled corn (CRN) or soybean hulls (SBH), and oat silage and vitamin/mineral supplements. Liver biopsies and blood samples were …


The Effects Of Trace Mineral Inclusion Management On The Performance And Mineral Status Of Newly Recwived Feeder Calves, Howard M. Blalock, Robbi H. Pritchard, William Epperson Jan 2003

The Effects Of Trace Mineral Inclusion Management On The Performance And Mineral Status Of Newly Recwived Feeder Calves, Howard M. Blalock, Robbi H. Pritchard, William Epperson

South Dakota Beef Report, 2003

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of trace mineral inclusion management on the performance and mineral status of newly received feeder calves. Steers from 2 pastures at a single ranch in Western South Dakota blocked into non-implanted (NI; n = 64; BW = 240 kg), May implanted (MI; n = 64; BW 252 kg;) and August implanted (AI; n = 66; BW = 248 kg;) groups, then allotted to one of two treatment groups. Treatments consisted of either: a pelleted supplement fed at a fixed amount to meet the gram / daily requirement (GDR) of Cu …
