Estimation Of Rumen Undegradable Protein In Forages By Using Neutral Detergent Insoluble Nitrogen At A Single In Situ Incubation Time Point, Mariela Lamothe, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Neutral detergent insoluble nitrogen (NDIN) was used as a direct estimate of UIP. Forage samples collected from upland range and subirrigated meadow sites over the summer were incubated in situ for a time equivalent to a mean retention time estimated from the digestibility of the forage plus 10 hour to account for a lag in passage of particles from the rumen. Samples also were incubated for 75% of the estimated total mean retention time. The UIP values obtained from the fractional rates of degradation and passage were highly correlated with those estimated from samples incubated for 75% of total mean …

Microbial Protein Production In Gestating Cows Supplemented With Different Sources Of Rumen Degradable Protein Grazing Dormant Range, Mariela Lamothe, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Don C. Adams, Jacqueline A. Musgrave, Galen E. Erickson

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Twenty-four gestating spring calving cows grazing dormant native range were used to determine the effect of two different sources of DIP supplementation in the winter. Supplementation treatments were: 1) supplement containing urea as a source of non-protein nitrogen, 2) corn gluten feed (CGF) as a source of true protein, and 3) no supplement . Forage intake was greater for cows supplemented with urea compared to no supplement, and forage intake tended be greater for cows supplemented with urea than CGF. Microbial protein (MCP) synthesis estimated from urinary excretion of allantoin was greater for cows receiving urea than CGF or no …

Value Of Dry Distillers Grains In High-Forage Diets And Effect Of Supplementation Frequency, Tim Loy, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Galen E. Erickson, Casey Macken

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

An experiment was conducted with 120 crossbred heifers to determine the value of dry distillers grains (DDG) in high-forage diets, and to evaluate the effect of supplementing daily compared to three times weekly. Heifers were fed to consume grass hay ad libitum and supplemented with DDG, dry rolled corn (DRC), or DRC with corn gluten meal (DRC+CGM). Supplements were fed at two levels and offered either daily or three times per week in equal proportions. Heifers supplemented daily ate more hay, gained faster (1.37 vs. 1.24 lb per day), but were not more efficient than those supplemented on alternate days. …

Sorting Strategies For Yearlings, James C. Macdonald, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Galen E. Erickson, Casey Macken, Jeffrey Folmer, Mark Blackford

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

One hundred sixty medium-framed English-cross steers were used in each year of a two-year study to determine effects of three sorting strategies on performance, carcass characteristics and profitability in an extensive beef production system. Sorting by weight before the grazing period or entering the feedlot decreased variation in carcass weight. Sorting by weight before the grazing period increased marbling scores and resulted in significantly higher premiums. However, no sorting strategy significantly increased carcass weight or improved profitability.

Amino Acid Supplementation To Growing Heifers Fed Soypass®, James C. Macdonald, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Casey Macken

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Sixty individually fed heifers were used in an 84-day growing trial to determine effects of adding rumen protected methionine and/or bloodmeal on performance of growing heifers supplemented with Soypass®. Treatments were designed to be a 2x2 factorial with diets supplemented with or without rumen protected methionine and bloodmeal (0.3% of DM) to provide 0.72 g per day of additional histidine as factors. The rumen protected methionine source, Smartamine M®, provided 1.85 g per day of additional methionine. No statistical differences in performance among treatments were observed, suggesting growing animals fed Soypass® do not benefit from addition of supplemental rumen protected …

Corn Steep And Bran:Germ Meal Ratio In Steam-Flaked Corn Based Finishing Diets, Casey Macken, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rob Cooper, Rick Stock

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A finishing trial was conducted to evaluate corn steep:bran/germ meal combinations in steam-flaked based diets. Feed efficiency improved in a linear fashion as steep level increased. Feed efficiency was similar between cattle that received no byproducts compared with cattle fed 25% corn byproducts that contained 50% steep. Feed efficiency was decreased for levels of 37.5, 41.7, and 45.8% steep compared to no byproduct or 50% steep. Daily gain was similar among treatments.

Wet Corn Gluten Feed Levels For Steam-Flaked Corn Based Finishing Diets, Casey Macken, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rob Cooper, Rick Stock

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A finishing trial was conducted to evaluate level of wet corn gluten feed in steam-flaked corn based finishing diets. Feed efficiency and daily gain were similar among all levels (10, 20, 25, 30, and 35%, DM basis) of inclusion of Sweet Bran® wet corn gluten feed evaluated in this trial. These data indicate wet corn gluten feed is similar in energy content to steam-flaked corn based on animal performance.

Body Temperature Changes Associated With Moving Feedlot Cattle, Terry L. Mader

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

In two winter and two summer studies, tympanic temperatures (TT), an indicator of body temperature, were obtained in unrestrained feedlot cattle moved through working facilities. Moving yearling cattle elevated TT between 0.5 and 1.4°F. Effects of cattle movement and handling on body temperature needs to be taken into account when evaluating animal health studies. Furthermore, minimal handling of cattle during hot days is recommended for promoting animal well-being and comfort.

Influence Of Rinsing Technique And Sample Size On In Situ Protein Degradation, Kimberly Whittet, Kelly Creighton, Kyle Vander Pol, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Four experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of in situ bag rinsing technique and sample size on the variation of undegradable intake protein (UIP) and dry matter disappearance (DMD) of soybean meal (SBM) and Soypass, a heat-treated soybean meal. Five rinsing techniques and five sample sizes were used to test effects. Soybean meal had higher DMD, lower UIP and higher variance for UIP than Soypass. A steer difference was noted for experiments with steer as a replication and also contributed a larger effect than day and run within day. Rinsing technique and sample size were not significant in concentrate fed …

Effects Of Grazing Corn Stalks In The Spring On Subsequent Crop Yields, Casey Wilson, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Walter Luedtke

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two studies evaluated impact of grazing corn residue during the spring on subsequent soybean yields in a corn-soybean rotation. Each study was conducted for two consecutive years. Tillage treatments consisting of ridge-till, fall till, spring-till, and no-till were also evaluated to determine if yields could be maintained by alleviating compaction from grazing in the spring. No significant differences in yield with tillage treatment and grazing were observed. Grazing treatments overall increased soybean yields in both studies. In the second study only a depression in subsequent corn yield was noted with spring grazing at stocking rate of .32 acres/calf for 60 …

Utilization Of Genetically Enhanced Corn Residue On Grazing Steer Performance, Casey Wilson, Casey Macken, Casey Macken, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Edward Stanisiewski

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of transgenic corn hybrids for residue grazing. In Experiment 1 two irrigated corn fields were used after grain harvest, one Roundup Ready® and it’s non-transgenic control line to evaluate grazing performance. This experiment was terminated after 35 days due to excessive snow cover. There was no significant difference in performance in Experiment 1. Experiment 2 was conducted the following year using dryland corn. In Experiment 2 corn root worm protected variety (Bt), Roundup Ready®, and their non-transgenic control line were evaluated. No differences in animal performance were observed between either genetically enhanced …

Microbial Protein Synthesis And Efficiency In Nursing Calves, Mariela Lamothe, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Don C. Adams, Jacqueline A. Musgrave, Galen E. Erickson

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Microbial protein synthesis and efficiency were estimated in springborn nursing calves grazing native range and subirrigated meadow. Forage intake increased from 1.5 lb/ day (0.6% BW) in June to 5.9 lb/day (1.2% BW) in September while milk intake decreased over the same period. Microbial protein (MCP) synthesis increased from 67 g/day in May to 278 g/day right before weaning in September. Urinary allantoin was used as a marker. Efficiency of MCP synthesis was approximately 19% of forage digestible organic matter (OM) intake.
