Physiological and Molecular Responses of Feeding Ractopamine toYearling Heifers Across Days on Feed
(2010-05-05)
Heifers comprise 30% of the annual beef harvest in the United States. Production pressures over the past several years have lead to a need to increase production efficiency. One mode currently available is the use of the ...
The Effect of Early Dietary Amino Acid Restrictions on Serum Metabolites in Pigs Selected for Lean Growth Efficiency
(2009-02-23)
Thirty-two select line and 32 control line pigs (average, 20 kg) were used in each of the two experiments to assess the effect of dietary amino acid restrictions during the grower phase on serum metabolites. In Exp. 1, 16 ...
Evaluation of a Novel Antimicrobial Solution (AMS) with Retail Marinades on Fresh Beef
(2014-12-10)
Pathogenic bacteria represent a public health concern when present on meat and result in recall of product from the market. Marination of meat and antimicrobial solutions are two technologies which reduce and prevent the ...
Stockpiled 'Tifton 85' Bermudagrass for Cow-Calf Production as Influenced by Nitrogen Fertilization
(2014-07-24)
A 2-yr grazing study was conducted to determine effects of rate of N fertilization on productivity and nutritive value of stockpiled 'Tifton 85' bermudagrass for lactating-cow and calf performance. On October 31, 2012 (Yr ...
Survival of LIsteria monocytogenes on Ready-to-Eat Roast Beef During Refrigeration Storage
(2014-10-10)
Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is a psychrotrophic bacterium with serious consequences to human health. Listeriosis causes an estimated 1600 sicknesses and 260 deaths annually in the United States with the primary source of ...
Amino acid supplementation of hydrolyzed feather meal for finisher pig diets
(2009-02-23)
The objective of this study was to determine the possibility of replacing soybean meal (SBM) in pig diets completely with hydrolyzed feather meal (FM). Corn-SBM, finisher 1 and 2 positive control (PC) diets were formulated ...
Forage Type Effects on Beef Cattle Performance and Carcass Traits
(2009-05-06)
Non-implanted Angus crossbred steers from Auburn University’s Wiregrass Research and Extension Center resident herd in Headland, Alabama were used for a two-year forage-finishing study. In January 2006 (n = 18) and December ...
Productivity, Nutritive Quality and Utilization of Dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum) for Beef Cattle Production as Influenced by Fertilization Regime and Grazing Management
(2009-08-05)
Dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum) is well adapted to the Black Belt region of the southeastern US, and information on its productivity and nutritive quality as influenced by fertility and grazing management is needed in ...
