Inclusion of wet corn gluten feed with physically effective neutral detergent fiber and the resulting effects on production
Wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) is commonly included in lactation rations for dairy cattle. Research at Kansas State University has shown that increasing WCGF inclusion decreased ruminal pH. Lack of adequate particle size may result in this decrease and can impact efficiencies, animal health and …

Effects of Nutrition and Management on Feed Efficiency, Carcass Value, and Profitability in Feedlot Cattle
… influence of sire, diet, and body composition on feed efficiency and profitability. Diet digestibility was higher for corn based finishing diets and lower for diets containing wet corn gluten feed (WCGF). Average daily gain was the lowest for the diet containing WCGF. Dry matter intake was lower …

Feeding behavior and metabolism of transition dairy cows supplemented with monensin
… determine if monensin modulates transition cow feeding behavior, ruminal pH, and/or expression of key metabolic genes. Overall, monensin decreased time between meals prepartum (126 vs. 143 ± 5.0 min; P < 0.03) with a trend appearing postpartum (81.4 vs. 88.8 ± 2.9 min; P < 0.08), which could be …

Post-weaning development of beef bulls: impacts of omega-3 supplementation and accuracy of nutrient requirement-based predictions
… of nutrient requirement model predictions for feed intake and growth in developing bulls. In the first study, spring-born Angus, Hereford, and Simmental bulls were weaned each September and developed at the Kansas State University Precision Feed Intake Facility using Insentec® bunks for …

Alternative management strategies for growing and stocker cattle
… Previous research reported improvements in feed efficiency when growing cattle were limit-fed a high-energy diet based on corn and corn co-products compared with a traditional high-roughage diet fed for ad libitum intake; however, cattle feeders have voiced concerns that limit-feeding may …
