Introduction Changing climatic conditions in Western Canada has led to increased amounts of wheat grain failing milling grade standards and as a result more is available as feed (He et al., 2015). One reason for wheat grain failing grading standards is infection with Fusarium graminearum and/or Claviceps purpurea, which produce deoxynivalenol (DON; Bianchini et al., 2015) and ergot alkaloids (EA; Tittlemier et al., 2015), respectively. Due to the ability of the rumen microbial...

Introduction Near record high feed, fuel, and fertilizer prices, and high inflation rates all have put increasing economic burden on beef producers. The increased cost of feeding cattle means that increasing feed efficiency is critical to feedlot production. Historically, feed costs represent about 70% of the total cost of production for feedlot operators and therefore, feed efficiency has 4 x greater economic return when compared to the same improvement in feedlot growth (Gibb and...

Introduction There is a famous quotation that ´Bull is half of the dairy herd´, although this quotation mainly deals with his genetic worth but no body can ignore the environment´s effects on his contribution to his offspring. Amongst the number of environmental factors, the main is "nutrition". It is that part of management of breeding bulls that is always not only neglected but is ignored. If we review the work done on this...

The objective of raising beef cattle is to obtaining good quality meat in a short period of time. Prerequisite for that is a healthy herd that turns feed into body mass, under optimal growing conditions where animals feel comfortable. This all starts from the very beginning, under skilled management conditions and with well-balanced nutrition. Selsaf, Actisaf and Safmannan - natural yeast products from Phileo by Lesaffre, have proved to be useful additions to achieving...

Introduction The use of exogenous enzyme supplements for dairy and beef cattle has received much attention during the last several years. Research efforts have mainly focused on the application of fibrolytic enzymes as feed pre-treatment agents or as direct-fed supplements. Direct feeding of exogenous enzyme preparations is more practical and is supported by studies showing high stability of fungal carbohydrases in rumen fluid (Hristov et al., 1998; Morgavi et al., 2000) and...

INTRODUCTION The quality of the semen is one of the factors most important in success of reproductive biotechnologies (artificial insemination, fixed time artificial insemination, embryonic transfer and in vitro fertilization). The level of dietary energy has been suggested as the main nutritional factor determining the effects on sperm quality. However, incorporation of bypass polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in diets can improve semen quality due to caloric effects on...

Introduction. It is well known that, ruminal microbial protein synthesis (MPS) is the most important process in ruminant nitrogen (N) metabolism, since MPS not only contributes more than 50% of the amino acids absorbed in the small intestine, but also has an amino acid composition similar to that of the proteins required for meat production (Zinn and Owens, 1983; NRC, 1985; Seo et...

1. Introduction. Because of its low cost per unit of nitrogen (N) compared with most sources of natural protein, urea (U) is typically the primary source of supplemental N in conventional steam-flaked corn-based finishing feedlot diets (Vasconcelos et al. 2009). Previous reports (Milton et al. 1997; Zinn et al. 2003) have shown that supplemental U has more positive effects on growth performance or dietary energy utilization when...
