Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
This new edition of T.W. Perry's classic reference provides both updated, and new information on the feeding and nutritional requirements of beef cattle, from breeding [or growing] to finishing. All the critical components of diet are dealt with: vitamins, minerals, protein, silage, etc. The different nutritional needs of breeding cattle are also detailed. Thoroughly updated to help ranchers and feedlot managers maximize yield and efficiency, this Second Edition should be on the shelves of all those involved with beef cattle herd management and production.
Ruminant Physiology

Pages : 344
Book Description
Ruminating animals have various physiological features that enable them to survive in nature. One feature of ruminants is their continuously growing teeth. During grazing, the silica content in forage causes abrasion of the teeth. This abrasion is compensated for by continuous tooth growth throughout the ruminant's life, as opposed to humans or other non-ruminants, whose teeth stop growing after a particular age. Most ruminants do not have upper incisors; instead, they have a thick dental pad to thoroughly chew plant-based food. Ruminants are mammals that digest plant based food by processing it in a series of chambers in their stomachs. There are about 150 species of ruminants, including both domestic and wild species. Ruminating mammals include cattle, goats, sheep, giraffes, bison, moose, elk, yaks, water buffalo, deer, camels, alpacas, llamas, and antelope. Ruminants are distinguished from other animals by having a four-compartment stomach. The four compartments are called the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum. The rumen and the reticulum are connected and work in concert and are therefore sometimes called the "reticulorumen". Ruminant Physiology: Digestion, Metabolism is a valuable tool of information for researchers, nutritionists, advisors, and advanced graduate students who want to have up-to-date and concise information on ruminant digestive system.

Feedlot Cattle Nutrition and Metabolism
Author: Danilo Domingues MillenPublisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832530184
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
The increasing demand for high-quality beef has led to the necessity of including higher levels of cereal grains and its by-products into cattle diets. In this context, adequate nutrition of beef cattle involves knowledge of energy and nutrient requirements to define specific nutritional strategy. The evolution feeding strategies to feedlot cattle depends on advances related to ruminant metabolism, as well as to the ruminal microbiota. Furthermore, a continuous flow of knowledge development in feedlot cattle nutrition and metabolism is important, as new feeds, additives, or even new management approaches come up very often, and new scenarios will impact protein and energy metabolism, the ruminal microbiota, and also strategies to modulate ruminal fermentation to improve health and performance of feedlot cattle. Overall, the main goal of this Research Topic is to contribute with recent advances in feedlot cattle nutrition and metabolism, addressing studies related to the nutrition of high-performing ruminants, with a special emphasis on the feed efficiency, ruminal fermentation and animal performance. Furthermore, we are interested in different aspects of sustainability and efficiency. In other words, the goal is to attract studies that address such issues, both from a general perspective and in relation to specific domains. Hence, the integration of existing and current knowledge will help refine strategies to optimize the performance of feedlot cattle.
