Use Of The Nrc Model For Predicting Nutrient Balances Of Finishing Cattle, Greg Lardy, Rob Mccoy, Drew Shain, Todd Milton, Dennis R. Brink, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Trials conducted at the University of Nebraska’s Research Feedlot were used to validate the NRC Beef Cattle Nutrient Requirements Model. Guidelines were developed for nutrient values for feedstuffs commonly fed in Nebraska feedlots. Generally, the NRC model predicted DIP and MP balances which were in agreement with performance data. The NRC Model generally under-predicted feed intake. The NRC model correctly predicted DIP deficiencies in dry-rolled corn diets which did not contain supplemental degradable protein. The effective NDF level of wet corn gluten feed appears to be higher than that of dry-rolled corn. The NRC model is a useful tool for …

Extended Grazing And Byproduct Diets In Beef Growing Finishing Systems, Ramiro Lucena, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Mark Klemesrud, Rob Cooper

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two experiments evaluated methods of reducing costs of finished beef. The first experiment, used lambs as a model for cattle. A dry rolled corn diet served as a control and two byproduct diets: 1) corn gluten feed; or 2) gluten feed plus wheat midds, were supplemented with three levels of tallow. Byproduct diets gave feed efficiencies nearly equal to corn and efficiencies increased with tallow supplementation. In the second experiment, 128 steers were used in grazing systems including smooth brome, warm-season grasses, oats and cornstalks and finished on corn or byproduct diets. High forage gains reduced costs and slaughter breakevens.

Lipid Sources In Finishing Diets For Yearling Steers, Ivan G. Rush, Burt Weichenthal, Brad Van Pelt

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Adding Synergy² to a corn-based finishing diet to provide 1.12% lipid did not significantly increase steer performance in this trial or in pooled results between this trial and one reported in 1995. However, numerical increases were observed in daily gain and feed dry matter intake for Synergy when compared to control values. Pooled results for additions of pork fat (white grease) to provide 1.12 or 2.24% lipid were intermediate to those for the control and Synergy treatments. Any performance benefit attributed to Synergy may be as much from its effect on dry matter intake as it is from nutrient …

Metabolism And Digestibility Of Corn Bran And Corn Steep Liquor/Distillers Solubles, Tony Scott, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rick Stock, Rob Cooper

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Six ruminally cannulated steers and six intact steers were used in a 6x6 Latin square design to determine the effect of corn bran and/or corn steep liquor/distillers solubles on ruminal metabolism and digestibility. Steers fed corn steep liquor/distiller’s solubles had lower average daily pH. Corn bran helped maintain a higher average pH. Corn steep liquor/distillers solubles fed alone altered the fermentation pattern of steers. There was a tendency for corn bran to reduce digestibility and for corn steep liquor/distillers solubles to improve digestibility.

Summer And Fall Forage Grazing Combinations: Five-Year Summary, Drew Shain, Terry J. Klopfenstein, D. J. Jordon, Rick Stock

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A five-year study using British-breed crossbred cattle included slaughter breakeven analysis and evaluated the effect of grazing alternative summer and fall forages on beef production systems. Grazed summer and fall forage combinations included continuous brome and combinations of brome, warm-season grasses, alfalfa, sudangrass, red clover, native Sandhills range, turnips, rye and cornstalks. The most consistent improvement in summer grazing gain and most desirable slaughter breakeven costs were observed in cattle grazing brome and warm-season grasses or brome and Sandhills range. A reduction in slaughter breakeven cost by grazing fall forages was observed in years with adequate moisture for forage growth. …

Ruminal Degradation Of Rubisco By Beef Cattle Grazing Switchgrass And Big Bluestem, Dan Vaughn, Walter H. Schacht, Lowell E. Moser, Robert Graybosch, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

This two-year study was conducted on monocultures of switchgrass and big bluestem to: (1) determine the concentration of the protein ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco), found only in the bundle sheath cells of warm-season grasses, in omasal, masticate and fecal samples of grazing cattle; and (2) estimate rumen-escape Rubisco via bundle sheath cells. A quantifying enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, along with estimates of rumen and lower tract digestibilities, indicated as much as 11% of Rubisco in big bluestem and 13% in switchgrass escaped rumen degradation and was absorbed in the lower tract. Realizing these amounts of escape Rubisco represent a significant level …

An Enzyme-Microbial Feed Product For Finishing Steers, Burt Weichenthal, Ivan G. Rush, Brad Van Pelt

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Feeding MSE (multiple stabilized enzymes in an enzyme-microbial feed product) at the rate of 2 lb of product per ton of diet dry matter in two trials with finishing yearling steers, increased daily gain by an average of 6.9% over feeding Rumensin-Tylan at 29 g and 10 g per ton, respectively. Feed-to-gain ratio was improved by an average of 5.6% with MSE in the same comparison. Carcass measurements were similar, except for slight increases in hot carcass weight and dressing percent for cattle fed MSE. Percentages of liver abscesses were low and similar for both treatments.

Comparison Of Sire Breed Solutions For Growth Traits Adjusted By Mean Expected Progeny Differences To A 1993 Base, K. L. Barkhouse, L. Dale Van Vleck, Larry V. Cundiff, D. S. Buchmann, D. M. Marshall

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Records on growth traits were obtained from five Midwestern agricultural experiment stations as part of a beef cattle crossbreeding project (NC-196). Records on birth weight (BWT, n =3,490), weaning weight (WWT, n = 3,237), and yearling weight (YWT, n = 1,372) were analyzed within locations and pooled across locations to obtain estimates of breed of sire differences. Solutions for breed of sire differences were adjusted to the common base year of 1993. Then, factors to use with within-breed expected progeny differences (EPD) to obtain a crossbreed EPD were calculated. These factors were compared with factors obtained from similar analyses of …

Comparative Analysis Of The United States Patent Law And The New Industrial Property Code Of Brazil, John Giust

UC Law SF International Law Review

Brazil promulgated a new Industrial Property Code in 1996 that significantly changed its patent law. In this Article, Mr. Giust compares the Brazilian statute to patent law in the United States. Through detailed analysis, the Article shows that despite the vastly different economic and social needs of both nations, the recent changes have actually brought the two patent systems closer together. As the author argues, this trend toward convergence reflects the two nations' commitment to the TRIPs Agreement, and to that extent, strongly supports the view that global patent harmonization is possible.

This Article's comparative analysis covers numerous aspects of …
