Growth performance and blood profiles of Hanwoo steers at fattening stage fed Korean rice wine residue

Influence of Fermented-Moutai Distillers' Grain on Growth Performance, Meat Quality, and Blood Metabolites of Finishing Cattle

“…However, as the concentration (15–30%) of FMDG increased, cattle ALB levels decreased. This contrasted with results from Kim et al ( 46 ), who found that adding Korean rice wine residue (10–15% DM) to Hanwoo steer diets had no effect on the ALB levels in the blood. This indicated that supplementation with more than 15% FMDG may affect the protein metabolism and immunity of cattle.…”

Kimchi cabbage (Brassica rapa L.) by-products treated with calcium oxide and alkaline hydrogen peroxide as feed ingredient for Holstein steers

“…Moreover, samples from each treatment were dried in an oven for 48 h at 80°C and ground to pass through a 1 mm screen [ 24 ]. The samples weighing 2 g (DM basis) were placed in nylon bags (5 × 10 cm; 45 μm pore size), and the bag openings were tied with nylon strings.…”

Effects of Italian ryegrass silage-based total mixed ration on rumen fermentation, growth performance, blood metabolites, and bacterial communities of growing Hanwoo heifers

“…The BUN was highest in the CON group and lowest in the H-IRGS group. Dietary N-to-energy ratio, forage intake level, protein degradability in the rumen, as well as dietary carbohydrate amount, and liver and kidney function in ruminants can directly influence the BUN [ 49 ]. The BUN is a good indicator of rumen ammonia concentrations, closely related to the solubility of nitrogenous compounds fed in the animal [ 50 ].…”

“…The BUN is a good indicator of rumen ammonia concentrations, closely related to the solubility of nitrogenous compounds fed in the animal [ 50 ]. In addition, it serves as an indicator of microbial protein balance and dietary protein efficiency [ 49 , 51 ]. Our findings showed that BUN was significantly higher in the heifers fed CON TMR.…”
