Yes, but that answer needs to be discussed in detail. Many factors contribute to carcass quality and yield grades such as management, genetics, previous nutrition, and marketing. Age becomes a factor in carcass grading when it is coupled with other …
Yes. Wheat straw is greatly underutilized as a feedstuff, particularly in beef cow rations. It can be used as the primary forage in dry cow rations and at low levels in lactating rations. For example, wheat straw can make up …
Corn screenings can be fed to cattle. Screenings are usually about 11 percent crude protein and equal in energy to corn. Because of their small particle size, they present a dust concern and will be digested in the rumen at …
First, let’s assume that the grain has been harvested from the fields that all the forages come from. Soybean stubble bales are the least favorite of the three forages listed. Soybeans are a legume, and as they increase in maturity, …
Water requirements for beef cattle depend on weight, stage of production such as lactation, and temperature. As you increase weight, the amount of water needed also increases. The same holds true for temperature; as temperatures increase, so does water intake. …
The short answer is, soybean hulls are a by-product of the soybean oil and soybean meal industry and can be used in cattle diets.
The long answer is: Soybean hulls are a by-product of the process by which soybean oil …
