“…However, if mature and of good quality, it has about the same feed value as oat or barley straw, but it is coarse and fibrous and, as a result, cannot be processed, but is readily eaten by cows. Research at the University of Saskatchewan has shown that linseed straw can be ammoniated and make an adequate forage base for wintering beef cows 6…”

Secondary structures for AcAla(n)NH(2) (n=2-4) peptides have been analyzed by means of ab initio MP2, CCSD(T), and DFT-B3PW91 methods using large basis sets and including implicit hydration effects and thermal corrections. In addition to the classical "pure" right-handed 3(10)- and α-helices, left-handed polyproline II, inverse γ-turn, and fully extended conformations, a large number of "mixed" structures obtained by combining characteristic φ/ψ angles of each residue in every way have been found. All mixed structures are energetically accessible and can be present at significant levels in aqueous solution. Furthermore, they represent the way through which hierarchical unfolding of 3(10)- and α-helices or nonhierarchical polyproline II to fully extended transitions occur. Computational results are in qualitative agreement with the large amount of experimental data for simpler polyalanines and provide significant insight into their thermodynamic properties and how these can be modulated by interactions with solvent.

“…Indoor feeding of beef cows is usually based on inexpensive, low-energy feeds such as straw, treated straw (Mann et al 1988, Fike et al 1995, Manninen et al 2000 or straw with protein or energy supplements (Alawa et al 1986, Alawa et al 1987, Alawa et al 1988, Beck et al 1992). Good quality grass silage is not used for beef cows ad libitum due to its high energy content, especially for cows in good body condition score pre-calving.…”

The present study evaluated the effects of feeding strategies with alternative feeds on the performance of mature suckler cows and their progeny during indoor feeding and subsequent grazing. In both experiments, a 2 × 2 factorially arranged design consisted of two feeding strategies (Step-up, S; Flat-rate, F) and two diets (Control, C; Alternative, A). The aim of Strategy F was to offer the cows the same amount of energy as offered on Strategy S, but at a constant daily level. In Experiment 1, cows on Diet C were offered grass silage and straw and on Diet A grass silage and a fl our-mill industry by-product. On Strategy S, feeding was stepped with barley (0, 1.5 and 3.5 kg d -1 ). On Strategy F, barley was offered 1.43 kg per head daily. In Experiment 2, cows were offered either grass silage (C) or whole-crop barley silage (A) as a sole feed. Strategy S was carried out by offering 68, 95 and 119 MJ metabolizable energy (ME) per cow daily. On Strategy F, roughage was given daily 97 MJ ME. In both experiments, there were no signifi cant differences between treatments in the cow live weight, body condition score, calf pre-weaning live weight gain and cow reproduction. Strategy F can be practised in the nutrition of mature suckler cows in marginal circumstances. Flour-mill industry by-product can partly replace grass silage and straw in the winter diet. Wholecrop barley silage can be offered as a sole feed to suckler cows with good body condition score in autumn.
