Livestock Preference For Endophyte-Infected Or Endophyte-Free Oxytropis Sericea, Ipomoea Carnea, And Ipomoea Asarifolia, James Pfister, Daniel Cook, Stephen T. Lee, Dale R. Gardner, Franklin Riet-Correa
Poisonous Plant Research (PPR)
Fungal endophyte-infected forages have been shown to alter herbivore feeding preferences. The objective of this experiment was to compare the preference of cattle, sheep, and goats for plants containing (E+) and not containing (E-) fungal endophytes using freshly harvested Oxytropis sericea, Ipomoea carnea, and Ipomoea asarifolia. Goats and sheep rejected all forage choices regardless of endophyte status except for grass and alfalfa hay. Endophyte status had no influence on cattle forage preferences. Cattle rejected all Oxytropis sericea E+ and E- choices. Cattle discriminated between Ipomoea species, preferring Ipomoea carnea to Ipomoea asarifolia (P = 0.004). In all …

Beefsd: Creating Learning Communities To Improve Management Capacity Of Beginning Beef Producers, Department Of Animal Science
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
The average age of agriculture producers in the U.S. is 58 and has been steadily rising over the last several decades. As the large cohort of older producers retires, ensuring that beginning producers are successful as their replacements is paramount. The goal of the beefSD program has been to provide a curriculum to beginning producers that equips them with the tools and capacity to make wise management decisions that lead to economic, ecological, and sociological sustainability and contribute to ongoing agricultural production, land stewardship, and rural community viability. The objective of this curriculum is to provide them with knowledge of …

Evaluation Of Variation Attributable To Lab And Technician For Measurements Of Beef Carcass Traits Made Using Ultrasound, B. Schmidt, M.D. Macneil, M. G. Gonda
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
National cattle genetic evaluations assume technician and imaging lab do not contribute to phenotypic variation when measuring carcass traits by ultrasound. The objective of this study was to estimate variance components of ultrasound carcass measurements, specifically variance contributed by ultrasound technician and imaging laboratory. Accounting for technician and imaging lab variation may increase accuracy of genetic predictions for carcass traits. Ultrasound carcass predictions for ribeye area (REA), percent intramuscular fat (IMF), and backfat (BF) were provided by the American Angus Association (AAA; n=281,982 animals), American Hereford Association (AHA; n=49,602), and American Simmental Association (ASA; n=59,576) for a total of 391,160 …

SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
Annually in the United States, billions of livestock are marketed and transported for breeding, feeding, exhibition, and slaughter. On any given day, several hundred thousand head of livestock are on the road. The transport of livestock is an integral and economically significant part of all livestock industries, especially in South Dakota where animal agriculture ranks number one and animal recreational activities are prevalent. South Dakota roadways are also common truck routes for the movement of livestock within North America. Accidents involving livestock have increased over the years and pose unique challenges to first responders, law enforcement, and the public. The …

Heavy Winter Patch Grazing As An Alternative To Prescribed Burning On The Northern Great Plains,

Heavy Winter Patch Grazing As An Alternative To Prescribed Burning On The Northern Great Plains, Jameson R. Brennan, Patricia Johnson, Ken Olson, Jennifer Lutze
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
Among management systems intended to increase heterogeneity on the landscape, patch burn grazing (PBG) is by far the most prominent and researched method. Though prescribed burning is seen as a healthy disturbance in grassland ecosystems, many landowners in the Northern Great Plains have an aversion to fire. This is due to safety and liability concerns as well as concerns over forage losses and limitations of labor, equipment, and insurance to successfully carry out prescribed burns. Therefore, there is a critical need to evaluate alternative, non-fire management strategies that will encourage rangeland heterogeneity. A study was conducted in 2017-2018 at the …

Epperson, Saulo Menegatti Zoca, Stephanie D. Perkins, Russell F. Daly, Robert A. Cushman, George A. Perry
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
Increased estradiol is the primary signal to initiate standing estrus, and cows that exhibit estrus prior to fixed-time artificial insemination have greater pregnancy rates than cows that do not. Therefore, understanding what factors may be present at the ovary that may regulate estradiol production is critical. A previous study reported that bovine follicles with greater follicular fluid concentrations of estradiol had decreased expression of GnRH-I and GnRH-II in granulosa cells (GC). The objective of this study was to characterize relative abundance of GnRH-I and -II mRNA within GC of follicles at specific stages of development. Beef cows were synchronized, and …
