Type Of Corn Bran And Corn Processing Method In Beef Finishing Diets, Casey Macken, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Galen E. Erickson, Rick Stock

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A finishing trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of drying corn bran on cattle performance in dry-rolled or steam-flaked corn diets. The inclusion of corn bran in dry-rolled or steam-flaked corn diets negatively affected feed conversion by 5.1% or 13.9%, respectively. Within both grain sources, drying corn bran had little effect on finishing steer performance. Feeding steam-flaked corn improved feed conversion by 17.0% compared with feeding dry-rolled corn without the inclusion of corn bran.

Implant Programs For Feedlot Heifers Using Synovex® Plus™, Revalor®-H, Or Finaplix®-H With Mga, Casey Macken, Todd Milton, Bill Dicke

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A commercial feedlot experiment was conducted using 1,558 heifers to evaluate the effects of implant programs on finishing heifers. Implanting with Synovex Plus increased ADG and hot carcass weight compared to heifers implanted with Revalor-H or Finaplix- H and fed MGA. Heifers implanted with either Synovex Plus or Revalor-H had increased DMI compared to heifers implanted with Finaplix-H. Marbling score was influenced by each of the implant treatments, being highest for Finaplix-H followed by Revalor-H and Synovex Plus.

Metabolizable Protein Requirements Of Lactating Two-Year-Old Cows, Tray Patterson, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Amelia Hopkin

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Eighteen lactating two-year-old cows maintained on meadow hay were used to determine the effects of supplementation to meet metabolizable protein or degradable intake protein requirements on production traits during the first two months after calving. Cows supplemented to meet metabolizable protein requirements had a higher ADG than degradable protein supplemented cows. Milk production declined from 15.9 to 10.8 lb/ day at 26 to 69 days after calving, respectively. Hay intake averaged 2.4% of body weight. Supplementation to meet metabolizable protein requirements increased postpartum weight change, but did not affect intake or milk production.

Use Of Sodium Citrate To Enhance Tenderness And Palatability Of Pre-Rigor Beef Muscles, Christian Perversi, Chris R. Calkins, Jesus Velazco

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

The objective of this project was to evaluate the response in tenderness and consumer acceptability of three muscles from the chuck that were pumped pre-rigor with different concentrations of sodium citrate solutions to inhibit glycolysis, while maintaining skeletal restraint for 24 hours. Controls were left on carcass, while the other three treatments had the thoracic limb removed and muscles pumped post-mortem to 10% of their weight with solutions of 0 mM, 200 mM or 400 mM sodium citrate. Although tenderness ratings were not always statistically different (comparing controls vs. 400 mM solution), there was a clear trend showing higher concentrations …

Effect Of Fiber Level In Finishing Diets On Diet Digestibility And Corn Silage Impact On Bacterial Crude Protein Production, Kyle Vander Pol, Galen E. Erickson, Ryan Mass, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two metabolism trials evaluated the impact of dietary fiber source, level, and digestibility on daily production of bacterial crude protein. In the first trial evaluating corn silage, digestibility was unaffected while daily bacterial crude protein production estimated from urinary allantoin excretion tended to be higher as corn silage replaced corn. In the second trial digestibility was significantly lower for the finishing diets containing higher levels of dietary corn bran.

Windrow Grazing And Baled-Hay Feeding Strategies For Wintering Calves, Jerry D. Volesky, Don C. Adams, Richard T. Clark

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Windrow grazing is a strategy where livestock directly graze windrow-stored forage, generally during a time when packaged hay is provided. We evaluated calf performance, forage quality and waste, and determined economic returns under windrow grazing and bale-fed strategies. Quality of windrow- stored forage remained constant through fall and winter and resulted in adequate calf gains. Forage waste under windrow grazing was closely associated with grazing management. Economic analysis indicated costs for windrow grazing were substantially less than those associated with a bale feeding strategy. Correspondingly, net returns per head and acre were greater for windrow grazing compared to the bale-fed …

Longitudinal Patterns Of Fecal Shedding Of Escherichia Coli O157:H7 By Feedlot Cattle, Spring Younts, David R. Smith, Jeffrey Folmer, Rodney A. Moxley, Suzanne Hinkley, Jeff Gray, Laura Hungerford, Margaret Khaitsa, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

To describe the prevalence, incidence, and duration of fecal shedding of E. coli O157:H7, 99 feedlot steers were individually tested each week of the feeding period for presence of E. coli O157:H7 in rectal feces. E. coli O157:H7 was recovered from each animal at least once during the study. Both the incidence and mean duration of shedding peaked during the middle of the feeding period. The percentage of cattle shedding E. coli O157:H7 ranged from 1% to 80% over the course of the feeding period and was affected by both the incidence and the duration of shedding.

Rapid Communication: Mapping Of The Beta Tropomyosin (Tpm2) Gene To Pig Chromosome 1, J. Sherwood, Daniel C. Gill, M. F. Rothschild

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Locus. Pig Tropomyosin beta (TPM2) gene.

Genus and Species. Sus Scrofa.

Source and Description of Primers. Primers were derived by using well-conserved regions of published human and mouse sequence (GenBank accession nos. AF209746 and NM_009416). The primers were used to amplify a 1.4-kp fragment of the porcine TPM2 gene covering exons 3 through 8. The porcine cDNA sequence (GenBank accession no. AF420022) showed 95% exonic identity (325 bp) at the nucleotide level to the human skeletal muscle beta tropomyosin (GenBank accession no. X06825). Additionally, pig specific primers were designed to amplify a 246-bp piece that spans exons 3 to …

International Law And The Internet: An Ill-Suited Match - Case Note On Uejf & Licra V. Yahoo! Inc., Caitlin T. Murphy

UC Law SF International Law Review

Internet users, legal scholars, and international observers have been predicting a clash over ideas on the Internet for quite some time. The truly global nature of the medium, the uncertain status of Internet jurisdiction, and the fact that international laws about speech are divergent have created a sense that a collision of ideology and practical legal concerns was imminent. These predictions were realized in May, 2000 when various human rights groups in France filed suit against the American internet giant Yahoo! Inc. over the posting and selling of Nazi paraphernalia on American Web sites that French users can access. This …

Nobody's Perfect: Proximate Cause In American And Jewish Law, Steven F. Friedell

UC Law SF International Law Review

Although it may seem counterintuitive, wrongdoers are not liable for most of the damage they cause. The law leaves most of the burden of torts on the victims because it would be neither just nor practical to hold culpable defendants liable for all the harm they cause. The difficult task for any legal system is to define the criteria that determine the limits of liability and to prescribe the procedures for applying those criteria.

This Article will explore the problem in both the American and Jewish legal systems and suggest ways in which the American system can be reformed. First, …
