165 Effect of supplement type on growing heifers while grazing dormant cool season grasses Open
The number of stocker operations in Southwest Missouri has increased over the past several years. While the impact of type of feed supplement on stocker cattle grazing tall grass native range has been previously evaluated, there is less in…

62 The Impact of Hair Coat Color on Body Temperature in Beef Cattle Open
Ambient temperature has a fundamental role in animal health and performance. Selecting for coat color may improve animal productivity and welfare through management and breeding decisions. The thermoneutral zone of cattle, 0°C - 25°C, is c…

Maintenance energy requirements and forage intake of purebred vs. crossbred beef cows1 Open
The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of cow breed type and age on maintenance requirements, feed energy utilization, and voluntary forage intake. The main effect of breed type included Angus (ANG; n = 32) and Hereford…

29 The effect of fleshing ability on cow and calf performance Open
Several factors influence the overall maintenance requirements of a mature beef cow including age, gain, lactation, pregnancy, and fleshing ability. However, limited research is available to distinguish what sets a hard-fleshing cow apart …

177 The effect of breeding system on voluntary forage consumption of beef cows Open
Recent genetic trends in beef breeds suggest an imbalance in the selection of output and input traits. The inverse relationship between cow maintenance requirements with output traits such as growth and milk production may have ramificatio…

186 The effect of breeding program on cow maintenance requirement and efficiency of calf growth Open
With genetic tools available today, it is possible to select for traits within breed to achieve similar production phenotypes. Our hypothesis was that biological efficiency of preweaning calf growth would be improved with crossbreeding whe…

Effects of timing of weaning on energy utilization in primiparous beef cows and post-weaning performance of their progeny1 Open
Early weaning is used to minimize cow nutrient requirements in situations where feed inputs are scarce or expensive. For many years, maintenance energy requirements have been assumed to be 20% greater in lactating compared with non-lactati…

Effects of agronomic factors on yield and quality of whole corn plants and the impact of feeding high concentrations of corn silage in diets containing distillers grains to finishing cattle1 Open
Corn plants were sampled over 2 consecutive years to assess the effects of corn hybrid maturity class, plant population, and harvest time on whole corn plant quality and yield in Nebraska. A finishing experiment evaluated the substitution …
