Effects of housing cow-calf pairs on drylot or pasture on cow performance and reproduction as well as calf performance and behavior through feedlot receiving
… analyze the effects of housing cow-calf pairs in drylots (DL) or pasture (PAST) on cow performance and reproduction as well as calf performance and behavior through the feedlot receiving. Simmental × Angus (2 yr; 108/yr; 81 ± 15.3 d postpartum) spring-calving cows were stratified by age, body …

Early weaning and other methods of intensive lamb production
… on pasture, and weaned and nonweaned lambs in a drylot were compared with control groups of ewes and lambs grazed together at Blacksburg and Glade Spring in 1960 and 1961. Data were available on 457 lambs for average daily gain and slaughter grade and on 311 lambs for carcass grade and yield. The …

Effects of cornstalk maximizer on cow performance and reproduction as well as calf performance and health
… performance, reproduction, and health in a drylot system. Cows were blocked by age and calving date and assigned to one of 12 pens (8 cows·pen-1). Pens were randomly assigned to one of two treatments which were provided from calving through breeding: control (CON; 0.30 kg·cow-1·d-1 wheat …

Nutrition and management considerations for bulls and breeding females
… Pens were randomly assigned to 4 treatments: drylot (DL) development (fed ad-libitum 90% hay and 10% DDGS on a dry matter basis), grazing endophyte-infected fescue supplemented daily (2.3 kg as-fed/heifer/d; 50:50 mix of soybean hulls and DDGS; E+/S), grazing endophyte-infected fescue and …

Effect of Feeding Different Protein and Energy Supplements on Performance and Health of Beef Calves During the Backgrounding Period
… heifers (average BW = 219 kg) fed fescue hay in drylot, were allotted to four treatments: no supplement, 15% CP supplement (0.5% BW), 15% CP supplement (1.0% BW) and 30% CP supplement (0.5% BW). Supplemented heifers had higher (P<0.05) ADG than unsupplemented heifers by 42 d. Heifers fed the 30% …

Evaluation of By-product Feedstuffs, Level of Concentrate, and Selenium and Vitamin E Injections on Performance and Health of Beef Calves in Backgrounding Systems
… to evaluate different backgrounding systems. Drylot diets with 70:30 and 40:60 forage to concentrate total mixed rations with Se and vitamin E injections were studied. No differences were observed in daily gains or feed efficiency among treatments. Steers receiving Se injections had higher (P …

Influence of prepartum nutrition on cow performance and subsequent calf performance, glucose tolerance, carcass characteristics, efficiency, and gene expression
… characteristics. Use of corn coproducts in drylot beef gestation rations has increased over the last decade. Because of the elevated energy and CP content of corn coproducts, cow drylot rations may easily exceed cow energy and CP requirements. The effects of excessive prepartum dietary …
