Similarly, Swanson et al (2007) observed no difference in animal performance between SBH and cracked corn when included in backgrounding diets for beef cattle. Feeding SBH with a combination of wet corn gluten feed and wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS) to steers resulted in ADG and feed efficiency being poorest in finishing diets replacing corn with SBH (Wilken et al, 2009).…”

Two experiments evaluated feeding soybean hulls (SBH) in finishing diets that contain distillers grains plus solubles on performance and carcass characteristics. Dietary concentrations of SBH were 0, 12.5, 25, and 37.5% of diet DM. In Exp. 1, 167 crossbred yearling steers (395 ± 22 kg of BW) were fed for 117 d in a randomized block design in which pelleted SBH replaced dry-rolled corn. All diets contained 25% modified distillers grains plus solubles, 15% corn silage, and 5% liquid supplement. As SBH concentration increased, DMI decreased linearly (P = 0.04). Gain and G:F decreased linearly (P < 0.01) in response to increasing concentrations of SBH, which decreased relative energy value from 91 to 79% of corn. Hot carcass weight linearly decreased (P < 0.01) by 24 kg as SBH increased. In Exp. 2, a randomized block design used 160 backgrounded steer calves (363 ± 16 kg of BW) in a 138-d finishing study with 0, 12.5, 25, or 37.5% SBH in the meal form. Basal ingredients consisted of a 1:1 ratio of high-moisture corn and dry-rolled corn, 40% wet distillers grains plus solubles, 8% sorghum silage, and 4% dry meal supplement. There was a tendency (P = 0.12) for a quadratic increase in ADG and G:F as dietary SBH increased, with numerically greatest ADG and G:F with 12.5% SBH. Feeding 12.5 to 25% SBH with 40% wet distillers grains plus solubles (Exp. 2) had little effect on performance but decreased ADG and G:F in diets with 25% modified distillers grains plus solubles (Exp. 1).

“…By measuring plasma urea nitrogen and glucose concentrations in the plasma throughout the trial period, an indication of the effect of the rations on protein status and energy metabolism can be observed (Swanson et al 2007). The observed changes in plasma urea nitrogen concentration reflect the observed changes in body condition and weight.…”

. 2010. Effect of crop residues in haylage-based rations on the performance of pregnant beef cows. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 90: 69Á76. Seventy-one individually fed multiparous, pregnant crossbred beef cows [body weight (BW)9SD; 730977.9 kg] were used to examine the effects of including crop residues in alfalfa/grass haylage-based rations on BW gain, fat deposition/loss and plasma metabolites. The haylage control ration (CON; n 023) was modified to include either 40% (dry matter basis) wheat straw (WS; n 024) or 40% corn stalklage (CS; n 024). Cows were blocked by calving date and randomly assigned to each treatment and fed for 82 d leading up to the earliest calving date. On days 1, 40, and 82, cows were weighed, ultrasounded to measure subcutaneous backfat (BF) over the ribs, body condition scored (BCS) and plasma was collected. Calves from cows fed WS had greater (P00.02) weaning weights than cows fed CS, but did not differ (P00.23) from CON. CS cows had the lowest ADG (PB0.03), lost the most body condition (PB0.04), and had the lowest dry matter intake (P50.001). These data indicate that diets containing crop residues can be used to dilute high-quality haylage rations for wintering beef cows; however, diets containing 40% corn stalklage used in this experiment may not be advisable, since cows lost BW and fat, and their calves had the poorest calf performance up to weaning.Key words: Beef cattle, wheat straw, winter feeding, corn stalklage, crop residues Wood, K.

Anim. Sci. 90: 69Á76. Soixante et onze vaches de boucherie hybrides, multipares et gravides (poids corporel 9 É .-T.; 730 9 77,9 kg), nourries individuellement, ont servi a`pre´ciser les conse´quences des re´sidus agricoles pre´sents dans les rations de mi-fane´de luzerne et de gramine´es sur le gain de poids, le rapport entre le de´poˆt et la perte de matie`re grasse, et les me´tabolites du sang. Les auteurs ont modifie´la ration te´moin de mi-fane´(CON; n 0 23) afin qu'elle inclue 40 % (d'apre`s la quantite´de matie`re se`che) de paille de ble´(WS; n 0 24) ou 40 % d'ensilage de tiges de maı¨s (CS; n 0 24). Les vaches ont e´te´re´parties selon la date de veˆlage, puis affecte´es au hasard a`un traitement avant de recevoir la ration pendant 82 jours jusqu'a`la premie`re date de veˆlage.

Les veaux des vaches nourries avec du WS e´taient plus lourds (P 0 0,02) au sevrage que ceux des vaches recevant du CS, mais ils avaient le meˆme poids (P 0 0,23) que les veaux du groupe CON. Les vaches du groupe CS ont enregistre´le gain de poids quotidien le plus faible (P B 0,03), ont vu leur e´tat corporel se de´grader le plus (P B 0,04), et ont inge´re´le moins de matie`re se`che (P50...
