Mutants Of Prevotella RuminicolaDefective In Peptidase Activity: Impact On Ammonia Production, Humberto Madeira, Lasha Peng, Mark Morrison Jan 1997

Mutants Of Prevotella RuminicolaDefective In Peptidase Activity: Impact On Ammonia Production, Humberto Madeira, Lasha Peng, Mark Morrison

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

An enzyme from a predominant ruminal bacterium that degrades peptides has a significant impact on ammonia production, and its manipulation could increase efficiency of nitrogen retention in forage- fed animals.


Biochemical Characterization Of A Peptidase Enzyme From The Ruminal Bacterium Prevotella Ruminicola, Humberto Madeira, Mark Morrison Jan 1997

Biochemical Characterization Of A Peptidase Enzyme From The Ruminal Bacterium Prevotella Ruminicola, Humberto Madeira, Mark Morrison

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

The characterization by molecular biology techniques of a bacterial enzyme involved with ruminal protein digestion brings new insights and strategies which seek to optimize protein nutrition of beef cattle.


Time Of Feeding Influence On Cattle Exposed To Heat, Terry L. Mader, John Gaughan, Darryl Salvage, Bruce Young Jan 1997

Time Of Feeding Influence On Cattle Exposed To Heat, Terry L. Mader, John Gaughan, Darryl Salvage, Bruce Young

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Managing heat load through manipulation of feeding regime may be effective in maintaining intake of individually fed feedlot cattle exposed to hot environmental conditions.


Effects Of Heat Exposure On Adapting Feedlot Cattle To Finishing Diets, Terry L. Mader, John Gaughan, Bruce Young Jan 1997

Effects Of Heat Exposure On Adapting Feedlot Cattle To Finishing Diets, Terry L. Mader, John Gaughan, Bruce Young

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Body temperatures increased in individually fed cattle being stepped-up on finishing diets under both thermoneutral and hot conditions.


A Low Roughage Diet Alternative For Finishing Cattle, Ivan G. Rush, Burt Weichenthal, Brad Van Pelt Jan 1997

A Low Roughage Diet Alternative For Finishing Cattle, Ivan G. Rush, Burt Weichenthal, Brad Van Pelt

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A low roughage diet containing Impact supplement can reduce feed to gain ratio while maintaining daily gain. A relatively high energy level in this diet results in lower ad libitum intake.
