(2008-09-09)
Since 1978, individual feed intake has been measured on bulls (n = 2,180) consigned to the Auburn University Bull Test along with weights, heights, scrotal circumference and ultrasound carcass traits. Test length since ...
Forage Quality and Nutrient Uptake Potential of Triticale
(2010-08-23)
Two triticale cultivars, Trical® 342 and Trical® 2700, were amended with 3 fertilizer treatments: commercial nitrogen (N) fertilizer, broiler litter, or control (no treatment). Forage yield, forage quality, and concentration ...

The Use of Peanut By-products in Stocker Cattle Diets
(2010-12-08)
Three production trials were carried out to evaluate the usefulness of peanut skins and hulls in stocker diets. In trials 1 and 2, peanut skins were fed with soybean hulls. Twenty-seven Brangus x Continental steers (BW ...
Carcass, Sensory, Quality and Instrumental Color Characteristics of Serially Harvested Forage-Fed Beef
(2010-12-06)
Striploins were used in two successive studies to evaluate the effects of serially harvested forage-finished steers and forage vs. grain-finished beef. The first study included six groups of steers that were serially ...
Marinating effects on the sensory characteristics of grain- and forage-finished beef
(2010-05-11)
Beef inside round roasts (n = 144) were cut from rounds obtained from both forage-finished cattle (n = 72) and grain-finished cattle (n = 72). Roasts were portioned to weigh approximately 0.45-0.68 kg. Each roast was ...
Effects of Ractopamine Hydrochloride on Color Attributes and Meat Quality in Yearling Heifers Across Days on Feed
(2010-04-07)
Recent research with the use of β-agonists has been inconclusive from a meat quality standpoint. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the inclusion of RAC across 5 DOF in 72 crossbred yearling heifers and ...
