“…Therefore, supplementation of soluble carbohydrate to leftover food as a feed for ruminant is essential. McKnight et al (1979) reported that the crude fat content of leftover food was 9.5% of dry matter which was higher than that of formula feed. However, the carbohydrate content of leftover food was lower than that of formula feed.…”

This study was conducted to determine the optimum substitution level of dried leftover food (DLF) in formula feed for Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle) steers. A total of forty growing steers were assigned to 5 treatments based on substitution level of DLF (at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% level of formula feed). The experiment was carried out with growing steers from 6 months of age to 24 months of age. Average daily gain (ADG) was not affected by DLF substitution level up to 75% of formula feed. However ADG decreased at 100% substitution level. Daily feed intakes were similar among treatments but the amount of feed per 1 kg gain increased with increasing substitution level of DLF. Dressing percentage was around 62% in all treatments without any significant differences. Proportion of quality beef higher than grade 1 was the greatest from animals fed 25% substitution level of DLF. Economic efficiency for Hanwoo steer operator was the highest with 50% substitution level of DLF.

“…Contents for butyrate, isobutyrate, valerate, isovalerate, and total VFA were similar for all calves. Other researchers (2,9,12) reported similar changes in VFA profile when buffers were added to high concentrate rations. The lactic acid concentration of rumen fluid from heifers fed diets without NaHCO3 (.20/~moles/ ml) was higher (P<.07) than heifers fed diets containing NaHCO3 (.09 /zmoles/ml) and possibly related to concurrent changes in amount of propionate ( Table 7).…”

Fifty-four Holstein and Jersey calves were assigned at 4 days of age within breed and sex to one of four treatments: control consisting of colostrum, milk replacer, and starter; buffered colostrum and replacer (.6% sodium bicarbonate) and starter (2% sodium bicarbonate); acidified colostrum (1% propionic), untreated replacer, and starter; and acidified, buffered colostrum (1% propionic, .6% sodium bicarbonate), buffered replacer (.6% sodium bicarbonate), and starter (2% sodium bicarbonate). The feeding regimen was colostrum once daily, day 4 to 14; milk replacer once daily, day 15 to 28; and calf starter ad libitum, day 4 to 84. Bull calves were fed for 42 days and heifers for 84 days. Calves fed acidified colostrum refused more feed and were less efficient from day 4 to 14 than calves fed buffered colostrum. Bulls were more sensitive to acidified colostrum than heifers. Starter intake, total dry matter intake, and average daily gains were similar for all calves during days 4 to 84. Rumen fluid from calves fed diets with sodium bicarbonate was higher in acetate and lower in propionate and lactate than that from calves fed diets without sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate improved intake of acidified colostrum during the first 2 or 3 days of feeding but had no other effect on gain or feed intake.

“…Em contraste, a adição de 0,75, 1,5, 2,25 e 5% (McKnight et al, 1979) ou 1,0, 1,25, 2,5 e 5% NaHCO3 (González et al, 2008) em dietas com alto teor de concentrado não influenciou o CMS, GMD e EA ou o CMS e pH ruminal de machos castrados e fêmeas Holandesas, respectivamente. Da mesma forma, a inclusão de 5,7% de NaHCO3 em dietas com 100% de concentrado não melhorou o consumo de alimentos, GMD ou EA de machos castrados Hereford (Nicholson et al, 1962).…”

“…Em geral, nenhum efeito sobre as características da carcaça tem sido observado quando NaHCO3 é suplementado em dietas de confinamento (Nicholson et al, 1962;McKnight et al, 1979;Kargaard e Van Niekerk, 1980); embora pequenos efeitos negativos da inclusão de NaHCO3 a 0,75 e 1,2% sobre características da carcaça (rendimento de cortes, área de olho de lombo e espessura de gordura subcutânea) tenham sido descritos em alguns estudos (Russell et al, 1980;Zinn, 1991;Zinn e Borques, 1993).…”
